Current Activities
Alexandria Minerals has ramped up its gold exploration drilling activities in recent months, and has had considerable success discovering new high-grade gold veins on its Orenada Zone 4 project in Val d’Or, Quebec. Since beginning its first extensive drill program on the property in the fall of 2016, the company has identified at least 13 parallel, high-grade gold vein sets at shallow depths on the property, from surface to 250 meters deep. High grade assays, such as those below, have aided in defining the gold zone that is now 700 meters long, 250 meters deep, and 30-50 meters wide, open on all sides:
- DDH OAX-17-084: 13.80 g/t gold over 6.50 meters, including 42.50 g/t gold over 1.50 meters
