Bullion Gold Corp. Completes the Acquisition of Turgeon Lake Property, Chicobi Group and Appoints New CFO
VANCOUVER, Jan. 15, 2021 - The management of Bullion Gold Resources Corp. (“The Company” or “Bullion Gold”) is pleased to announce the completion of the previously disclosed acquisition of the Turgeon Lake property and the nomination of Mr. Martin Nicoletti CPA as Chief Financial Officer effective immediately.The Turgeon Lake project consists of 39 claims covering a total area of 2,203.28 hectares located in Chazel and Lavergne Townships, NTS 32D15 and 32E02, 95 kilometers north of the Rouyn-Noranda mining district and 36 kilometers north of Macamic in the Abitibi-Temiscamingue region in Northwestern Quebec, Canada. The center of the property is located at 652 700E, 5 430 300N UTM Zone 17 (NAD 83). Geologically, the project area lies within the Archean Abitibi Greenstone Belt on the southeast central part of the Superior Province. Regionally, the geology is made up of volcanic formations of intermediate to felsic composition with the central portion occupied by the sediments of the Chicobi Group.
Exploration work started in the area after the discovery of a sulphide showing on the eastern shore of Turgeon Lake in 1936 by Erie Canadian Mines Limited. The showing is located at approximately 400 m west of the property claim group. Sulphides consisted mainly of pyrite and pyrrhotite with minor marcasite and sphalerite found in a shear zone. Exploration work started on part the property in 1958. The companies ran magnetometer and horizontal loop electromagnetic surveys and the best electromagnetic conductors were drilled. The conductors were explained by the presence of disseminated to semi-massive pyrite and pyrrhotite mostly barren in economic metals.
After an airborne INPUT MARK V in 1972, exploration has resumed on the property. The companies made ground follow-up electromagnetic surveys to locate the INPUT electromagnetic. Some of the conductors were drilled and were explained by the presence of disseminated to semi-massive pyrite and pyrrhotite mostly barren in economic metals.
In 1986-1987, Syngold Exploration explored the eastern half of the property for gold. They conducted magnetometer surveys and geological mapping followed with a basal till sampling program. One of the bedrock sample returned 240 ppb Au in quartz-carbonate vein.
In 2001-2003, Noranda Exploration and Mines d’Or Virginia commissioned an airborne electromagnetic MEGATEM II and magnetic survey over the Abitibi Greenstone Belt. The survey found 5 clusters of electromagnetic conductors on the property, mostly the same previously found with the INPUT survey. Noranda drilled one of the conductors in 2004 and the hole revealed the presence of pyrite and pyrrhotite stringers over 6 m.
The Turgeon Lake property is prospective for volcanogenic massive sulphides deposits (VMS) being stratigraphically localized close to the geological formations of the former Normetal Mine and by the presence of volcanogenic sulphide mineralization on the property. The project is also favorable for orogenic gold occurrences related to longitudinal shear zones as evidenced by the presence of quartz-carbonate veins carrying anomalous gold.
