REV RECEIVES AUTHORIZATION FOR DRILLING FOR JMW GOLD PROPERTY IN CHIBOUGAMAU CAMP
Rev Exploration Corp. has received the Autorisation de Travaux d'Exploration a Impacts (ATI) (Authorization For Drilling) for its recently expanded JMW property in the Chibougamau gold camp of Northern Quebec. JMW is an advanced prospect (nearly three dozen holes have been drilled historically) along the same trend as Iamgold's multimillion-ounce Nelligan deposit, located approximately 30 kilometres to the east.
Jordan Potts, Rev chief executive officer, commented: "Receiving our drilling authorization and completing the geochemical program are significant milestones for Rev, not to mention the recent doubling in size of the JMW land package. Together, these achievements set the stage for a focused and data-driven drill campaign at JMW. We're very encouraged by what we're seeing across the broader Chibougamau gold camp. With gold prices at record highs, this is an excellent time to be advancing exploration in Quebec."
Historical context
This authorization marks a major milestone for Rev as it targets a fresh discovery in this prolific gold camp, building on a shallow depth seven grams per tonne Au (gold) over 0.7 metre intercept by Gitennes under previous management in 2022. This mineralization within a two-metre quartz vein at just 75 metres vertical depth (hole 22JMW-03) occurred within a large underexplored area dominated by Caoptina sediments outside the main historical trend, and points to the potential of gold enrichment in this part of the property. This new area of focus is juxtaposed on a documented felsic complex comprising subvolcanic intrusions with related volcanics. This assemblage could have played a role in the gold mineralization process.
Most of the historical work at JMW was on systematically altered porphyritic felsic intrusions interlayered with mafic to felsic volcanics, forming an intrusive complex. These units are in contact with Caoptina formation sediments to the south, the area being revisited by Rev with greater structural understanding.
Since 1980, 34 relatively shallow drill holes comprising 7,385 metres have been completed at JMW, along with surface sampling, mapping and geophysics, providing the company with a rich assessment report for review and reinterpretation.
Moving forward
Rev crews have taken 800 soil samples at strategic locations across JMW. Results are expected shortly and will optimize drill target selection for the initial program that will include up to 32 permitted drill pads.
Readers are cautioned that mineralization and mineral deposits on properties neighbouring JMW are not necessarily indicative of mineralization or deposit potential at JMW.
