    Introduction

    The Pontois property is a 50/50 JV project with SOQUEM that straddles the Trans-Taiga Road (Km 316), a nearly 600-km-long gravel highway running east-west through the James Bay region. It is also several kilometres south of the LG-4 hydroelectric generating station. It covers a strong multi-element (As-Sb-W) lake-bottom sediment signature in a favourable geological and structural setting within an underexplored greenstone belt. The main showing, the Black Hole Prospect (6.02 g/t Au, 2.56 g/t Au and 0.90 g/t Au), was discovered by Azimut.

  • Azimut’s prospecting work on the Pontois property in the underexplored La Grande greenstone belt led to the discovery of the Black Hole Prospect (6.02 g/t Au, 2.56 g/t Au and 0.90 g/t Au). The prospect is 40 m long by 20 m wide and open along strike in both directions. Other anomalous metals include silver and tellurium. Gold is hosted in mafic metavolcanics and dykes carrying quartz veins and fine disseminated pyrite near a sheared contact with metasediments.

  • The Pontois property is situated in the underexplored La Grande greenstone belt in the La Grande Subprovince (Archean Superior Province). The main units of interest on the property are gold-bearing mafic metavolcanics and dykes carrying quartz veins and fine disseminated pyrite near a sheared contact with metasediments.
