Kenorland Minerals says 20,000-meter drill program now underway at Frotet project

Kenorland Minerals Ltd (CVE:KLD) (FRA:3WQ0) has commenced its 2021 summer exploration program at the Frotet project, located in northern Quebec.

The Vancouver-based explorer has three projects in Quebec, including Frotet which is a joint venture gold project with Tokyo-based Sumitomo Metal Mining Canada Ltd.

The summer drill program will include up to 20,000 meters of diamond drilling at the Regnault gold discovery.

This year’s program follows the winter drill program, where the company defined the orientation of multiple gold bearing structures, including R1 and R2, which produced numerous high-grade intercepts, including 5.72 meters at 90.56 grams per ton gold (g/t Au) and 25.33 meters at 6.29 g/t Au.

 In addition to the drill program, follow-up surface exploration, including mapping, prospecting, infill till and soil geochemical sampling, along with induced polarization (IP) geophysical surveys, will be completed over multiple regional target areas within the Frotet project.

“We’re very excited to begin drilling again and look forward to the most significant program the project has seen to date, in terms of size. Now that we are gaining a better understanding of the structural controls of the gold system at Regnault, we can begin to advance this discovery significantly,” Zach Flood, President and CEO of Kenorland Minerals, said in a statement. 

“In addition, we look forward to developing some of our more regional target areas to drill stage. We believe there is great potential for further discovery, not only at Regnault, but within the rest of the Frotet Project as well.”

The drill program is expected to be completed by late October with three drills active on site. Since the initial discovery in early 2020, 16,641m of drilling has been completed at Regnault.
