POIRIER PROPERTY (Cu, Zn, Au, Ag)
Location:
135 km north of Amos (Abitibi, Quebec) in the Poirier Township
Access: Accessible by road in all seasons
Land: 43 mining claims in two blocks (A and B) covering 1445 ha, adjacent to Cancor’s Bonfortel and Kistabiche properties.
Interests: 100% Cancor
Previous Work:
Very little exploration work has been done on these claims in the past. So far, Cancor has done line cutting and IP surveys on block A and prospection with Beep Mat on block B
Geology:
The claims on block A are mainly covered by felsic volcanic rocks of the Joutel volcanic Complex.
The claims on block B are almost entirely covered by mafic volcanites and gabbro sills and/or dykes of the Vanier-Dalet-Poirier Group that overlies the felsic volcanites of the Joutel volcanic Complex.
Mineralizations and potential:
Block A:
The host rocks of the South zone of the Fourth Corner area of the Bonfortel property extend into the NW corner of block A. This South zone is a massive sulphides lens with pyrite, sphalerite, and chalcopyrite in felsic tuffs at the contact with sediments and andesitic volcanites. A recent InfiniTEM® survey over the NE quarter of the block has detected two low-intensity anomalies.
Block B:
The Payrock showing, a zone of felsic rocks mineralized with pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite and chalcopyrite, extends on the western portion of block B.
A small pyrite-pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite copper showing was discovered in the 1960s in the southern portion of lot 30 in range VIII; this showing consists of disseminated sulphides in mafic volcanics at the contact with a gabbro sill or dyke.
A mineralized boulder of massive sulphides assaying 0.62% Ni, 0.31% Cu, 2.60 g/t Pt and 4.25 g/t Pd were reported on Aur’s compilation map at about 200 meters south of the copper showing of lot 30. Prospection with a Beep-Mat by Cancor has retraced similar erratic boulders in the same area. One boulder assayed 0.41% Ni, 0.19% Cu, 0.90 g/t Pt and 1.79 g/t Pd.
