Project summary
The Île Deschênes–Perrin project (Airport Gold) comprises 121 claims covering 6,395 ha, held 100% by MRB, between Chapais and Chibougamau along Route 113. The airport, Route 113, a railway and a power line are on site.
Gold occurs in quartz veins and quartz masses in four sectors. At Lac Ledden (2d, Perrin showing), drill hole LED-22-09 (Mistango River Resources, 2022) intersected native gold. At Île Deschênes (2a), historical trenches and drill holes tested the veins down to about 130 m vertical depth. Pit VG (2c) was the site of historical bulk sampling, and prospecting in 2024 found a gold–copper quartz boulder at Sapin (2b).
Location
The claim blocks lie between latitudes 49.74° and 49.85° N and longitudes 74.47° and 74.67° W.
4 sub-projects
| Block | Sub-project | Exploration focus |
|---|---|---|
| 2a | Île Deschênes | Historical drill holes (to ≈ 130 m vertical depth) and trenches on gold-bearing quartz veins. |
| 2b | Sapin | Gold–copper quartz boulder discovered by prospecting in 2024; induced polarization survey area. |
| 2c | Pit VG | Historical pit, vein sampling and bulk samples on quartz veins. |
| 2d | Lac Ledden – Perrin | Perrin showing: drill hole LED-22-09 (Mistango River Resources, 2022) with native gold, near the border fault of the pluton. |

Some exploration results presented here are historical in nature and have not been verified according to current NI 43-101 standards. Grab samples are selective by nature and are not necessarily representative of the mineralization on the property.
Targets for the next phase
Exploration targets are conceptual in nature and subject to further exploration work. They are not mineral resources.
- Target 01 · Block 2d – Follow-up of LED-22-09
Follow up hole LED-22-09 and the border fault of the pluton at Lac Ledden. - Target 02 – Île Deschênes and Pit VG below 130 m
Historical drilling stops at about 130 m vertical depth: test the gold-bearing veins of Île Deschênes and Pit VG below it. - Target 03 · Block 2b – Source of the Sapin boulders
Find the source of the gold–copper boulders along the induced polarization (IP) axes.
