Geomega Resources Inc.: New Gold Zone Identified on the Anik Property

MONTRÉAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwired - Sept. 28, 2015) - Geomega Resources Inc. (« GéoMégA » or the « Company ») (TSX VENTURE:GMA) announces the first set of results from its 2015 surface exploration campaign of the gold portfolio. On the Anik property, nearly 240 grab and channel samples originating from 6 new trenches were collected. The trenches were targeting geochemical and geophysical anomalies. Furthermore, trench TR-14-16 has been extended and has now increased the Bobby showing at surface to over 35 m in length. During the 2014 winter exploration campaign, drilling at the Bobby showing returned an intersection of 0.41 g/t Au over 56.5 m including 1.0 g/t Au over 15.0 m.

A new gold zone, the Kovi showing, was identified by the TR-15-27 trench. The 10 m wide zone is hosted within a sedimentary unit exhibiting sericite, ankerite and fuchsite alterations with quartz veins ranging from thin to over 10 cm in thickness. Mineralization, both in the sedimentary unit and in the veins, is present in the form of a trace and up to 10% pyrite, pyrrhotite and arsenopyrite. The most significant results from the Kovi zone include 31.8 g/t Au and 7.23 g/t Au. A summary of gold grades from the 2015 surface campaign on the Anik property is presented in the table below.

"The discovery of this new Kovi gold zone, located only 50 meters to the SE of the ANK-16 drill hole which intersected a 1 meter interval at 19.45 g/t Au within the sedimentary unit at the beginning of the drill hole, is very encouraging. As for the Bobby showing, the gold mineralization associated with the alteration assemblage is extensive, suggesting that promising areas remain to be investigated as we extend the known zones.

The follow-up work on these gold zones confirms the excellent potential of the Anik property and demonstrates the need to continue the exploration work. The Bobby and Kovi showings have a very similar geological context and are located only 600 meters apart. The Anik property, which covers more than 80 km², has a very favorable geological location and its potential has nowhere near been fully revealed yet. Many high potential targets remain to be investigated." comments Alain Cayer, Vice-President Exploration of GéoMégA. 

Additional follow-up work on the Anik property will be completed this fall. The work will include channel sampling across the Bobby and Kovi mineralized zones. Additionally, depending on the availability of financing, a drilling campaign may be planned to test the extensions of the mineralized showings laterally and at depth.

Two other properties, McDonald and Rivière-à l'Aigle, were explored during the 2015 summer campaign. To date, only a portion of the assays have been received from the 950 samples submitted to the laboratory. These partial results identified several gold anomalies (<1.0 g/t Au) along the extensions of geochemical vectors that were being investigated. Further exploration work on these properties will continue in 2016.

NI 43‐101 Disclosure

Alain Cayer, P. Geo., MSc., Vice-President Exploration of GéoMégA, is the Qualified Person under NI 43-101 guidelines who supervised and approved the preparation of the technical information in this news release.

All samples have been assayed at the ALS Global laboratory in Val d'Or by standard fire assay followed by atomic absorption and by gravimetry if results are greater than 0.50 g/t Au. A multi-elemental analysis by aqua-regia and spectroscopy (ICP-AES/MS) was completed at the ALS Global laboratory in Vancouver, for many of the samples. Quality controls include systematic addition of blank samples and certified gold standards to each batch sample sent to laboratories.
