ALDEVER APPLIES FOR PERMITS FOR URBAN BARRY DRILLING
May 3, 2017
Aldever Resources Inc. (ALD—TSXV) (ALDVF—OTCQB) (17G1—Frankfurt) (“Aldever” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has submitted the necessary applications for the diamond drilling of its 100% owned Urban Barry Gold Project, located in central Quebec. The Urban Barry Gold Camp is one of Canada’s premier exploration regions, principally as a result of recent gold discoveries made by Bonterra Resources. The area hosts two historical gold deposits, the Windfall Deposit, controlled by Osisko, and the Barry Deposit, controlled by Metanor. Of interest, all of the deposits in the Urban Barry Gold Camp are associated with one of two regional breaks in the Abitibi Greenstone rock, both of which bisect and converge on Aldever’s ground, which is surrounded on all sides by claims controlled by Osisko.
Phase 1 is to include a twenty-five (25) line kilometer Induced Polarization survey and high definition magnetometer survey over the Urban Barry Deformation Zone, where anomalous mineral values (up to 62 g/tonne Ag and 0.127g/ tonne gold) were obtained in the 2016 programs. The silver results are extremely interesting as 18 of the samples returned values higher than 10g/t Ag, with the highest value representing more than 1.8oz/t Ag. These grades, coupled with silver’s relative immobility, suggest a nearby source of mineralization. Outcrop samples had gold values ranging from trace to 0.03g/t Au.
Phase 2 calls for 6000 meters of diamond drilling comprised of twenty 300 meter holes, designed to follow up on soil and geophysical anomalies.
About Aldever
Aldever controls 1,297ha in the Urban Barry Mining district, Quebec, approximately 18 kilometers east of, and within the same geological district as, Osisko’s Windfall Lake Deposit, which has an estimated mineral resource*of 748,000 ounces of gold at 8.42 g/t gold in the indicated category, and 860,000 ounces of gold at 7.62 g/t gold in the inferred category.
- Source: Oban Mining Corporation website - SRK (Canada) November 2014 Technical Report. These estimates of gold resources
are sourced from publicly available materials and are not located on the Urban Barry Property. Aldever has not undertaken any independent investigation of the production/resource estimates, nor has it independently analyzed the publicly available results.
The Company’s Urban Barry Property (UB) is situated within the Urban-Barry Greenstone Belt and lies within the eastern portion of the Abitibi Subprovince which has an east-west extent of approximately 135 kilometers and ranges from 4 to 20 kilometers in width along its strike extent. Lithological units within this terrane include sequences of basalt flows with intercalated felsic rhyolities to more mafic volcaniclastic rocks that have been deformed and metamorphosed to the greenschist facies. The volcaniclastic sequence has been intruded by syn-volcanic to late (post mineralization) intrusions. Dominant structural fabrics trend to the northeast, with variable dips between 30 to 85° to the southeast. The principal exploration target at the UB Project is a seven-kilometer strike length of regional scale faulting of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt which lies within the UB Property bounds.
