    Introduction

    The Corne copper-gold property covers a 17-km strike over a well-marked lake-bottom sediment anomaly (copper-bismuth-arsenic). It lies about 25 km west of Route 167, a permanent all-season road that connects the provincial highway network to the Renard diamond mine of Stornoway Diamonds (Canada) via the communities of Mistissini and Chibougamau.

    The property has never been drilled or explored by other companies, and there are no known prospects on the claims. A small copper-molybdenum-silver deposit is located about 20 km to the northwest.

  • Azimut has carried out preliminary exploration fieldwork on the Corne property since acquiring the claims based on regional predictive modelling using interdisciplinary data.

    In 2018, the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources of Quebec (MERN) collected grab samples on the property and its vicinity as part of a larger mapping program. The property has never been drilled or explored by other companies, and there are no known prospects.

    A regional lake-bottom sediment survey returned values in the property area of up to 223 ppm Cu, 0.60 ppm Ag, 0.41 ppm Bi and 10.7 ppm As.

    About 20 km northwest of the Corne property, the intrusion-related MacLeod–Pointe Richard deposit contains indicated resources of 18.18 Mt at 0.60% Cu, 0.094% Mo, 4.48 g/t Ag and 0.06 g/t Au. Mineralization occurs in migmatized paragneiss at the contact with the MacLeod batholith and within the intrusion.
     

  • The Corne property is located within the metasedimentary Opinaca Subprovince (Superior Province), close to the boundary with the Opatica Subprovince. A preliminary geological map for the Cadieux Lake area has been published by the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (MERN) in a report documenting the results of its 2018 regional outcrop survey.

    The Cadieux Lake area exhibits regional folding, and Corne is centred on a deformation zone. The rocks on the property belong to two Opinaca complexes:

    • The Laguiche Complex, comprising paragneiss and metatexite derived from wackes and arenites.
    • The Mabille Complex, comprising:
      • Amphibolitic basalt, garnet amphibolite and tuff
      • Foliated peridotite
      • Strongly foliated gabbro and diorite with biotite and magnetite
      • Foliated granite and granodiorite with biotite and magnetite
