Stelmine Pursue its Acquisitions
2017
Québec, February 08, 2017– Stelmine Canada Ltd. (« Stelmine ») (STH-TSXV) announced its acquisition of the Vallard property, located 100 km SW of the town of Fermont (Québec) less than 20 km NE from its flagship Courcy property. The property consists of a group of 125 continuous claims, 100% owned by Stelmine and totalling 65.2 km2.
The Vallard property encompasses a major thrust, the Vallard fault, marking the contact between highly metamorphosed intermediate volcanic rocks (Courcy Group) within the Opatica subprovince and migmatitic paragneiss sequences (Mercator Formation) of the Opinaca sedimentary basin. The geology of this property manifests characteristics comparable to those associated with gold mineralization occurring at the periphery of the western Opinaca sedimentary basin and the La Grande subprovince (e.g. Éléonore, Zone 25, La Grande-South):
1) major km-long faulting at the periphery and/or contact of the Opinaca metasedimentary subprovince;
2) a highly metamorphosed assemblage of sedimentary rocks and;
3) the occurrence of nearby volcanic formations.
Over the coming months, Stelmine will proceed with an exploration program. A map is available on www.stelmine.com.
“Stelmine is pursuing its acquisition program to gain a major foothold in the next Québec mining camp”stated Isabelle Proulx, President.
Further information on amendments to the Company’s Stock Option Plan : On January 27, 2017, the Company announced that its shareholders had approved the changes proposed to the Stock Option Plan (“Plan”) at the shareholders meetings held that day.
