Press Release Azimut and Mont Royal Discover a Highly Prospective Nickel-Copper Ultramafic Intrusion at Wapatik
Longueuil, Quebec – Azimut Exploration Inc. (“Azimut” or the “Company”) ( TSXV: AZM ) is pleased to report encouraging preliminary results from the Company’s initial prospecting program recently conducted on the Wapatik Property (“ the Property ”). The Property is located in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec and is under option to Mont Royal Resources Limited (“Mont Royal”) ( ASX: MRZ ), which can earn a 50% interest by spending $4.0 million in exploration.
The next phase of the exploration work planned for early 2022, will consist of ground geophysics subsequently followed by core drilling.
HIGHLIGHTS (see Figures 1 to 3 and Photos 1 and 2)
- Discovery of a previously unrecognized kilometre-scale ultramafic intrusion with associated copper and nickel sulphide mineralization. The most significant grab sample results from the intrusion are summarized below:
| Copper (%) | Nickel (%) | Cobalt (ppm) |
PGE (Pt+Pd) (ppb) |
Ag (g/t) | MgO (%) | Sample # |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.035 | 0.384 | 316 | 28 | 5.42 | 15.09 | E6320167 |
| 0.814 | 0.267 | 223 | 44 | 1.91 | 15.38 | E6320152 |
| 0.731 | 0.061 | 112 | 176 | 7.09 | 14.72 | E6320221 |
| 0.653 | 0.085 | 127 | 153 | 5.92 | 15.30 | E6320154 |
| 0.098 | 0.129 | 132 | 7 | 0.64 | 26.61 | E6320155 |

-
The ultramafic intrusion, approximately 1,000 metres by 400 metres, is bounded by volcano-sedimentary rocks of the Lower Eastmain greenstone belt, specifically iron formations and pyrite-rich metasediments and mafic volcanics. This lithological context is considered as highly favourable for massive to semi-massive nickel-copper sulphide mineralization, which is often positioned along the basal contact of an intrusive body.
-
Mineralized facies contain chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite and possibly pentlandite, occurring as veinlets and disseminated or interstitial sulphides within coarse-grained pyroxenite and gabbro.
-
The intrusion is well characterized by a strong subcircular magnetic anomaly outlined by a high-resolution heliborne survey completed earlier this year over the Property (5,116 line-km on 25-m spaced lines). The anomaly appears to be composed of three (3) contiguous magnetic lobes that may correspond to different magmatic pulses. A 3D magnetic inversion of the data suggests a basin-shaped geometry for part of the intrusion, which may constitute a very favourable setting for sulphide accumulation (see Figure 3).
-
The next exploration phase will consist of a ground electromagnetic survey to detect conductors potentially related to the mineralization type described above. This survey will be undertaken as soon as possible next year and will likely be followed by a maiden core drilling program.
-
Mont Royal is renewing its option on the Property for the second year. The forthcoming 2022 exploration program, totalling $800,000, will be fully funded by Mont Royal. Azimut is the operator.
Analytical Protocols
The samples were sent to ALS Canada Ltd in Val-d’Or, Québec. Samples are analyzed for a 48-element suite using ICP. Gold, platinum and palladium are also analyzed by ICP. Azimut applies industry-standard QA/QC procedures to its programs.
A total of 119 grab samples have been collected during the fall prospecting program. Note that grab samples are selective by nature and unlikely to represent average grades .
Wapatik Property
Wapatik is a 25-kilometre-long project covering a largely underexplored part of the Lower Eastmain greenstone belt in the Archean La Grande Subprovince. It is located on strike from the Patwon gold zone, approximately 35 km to the east, and 10 kilometres north of the boundary with the Opinaca Subprovince. The results for five gold targets identified on the Property will be reviewed once all assays will have been received.
The Property covers 220 claims (115 km[2] ) in a single contiguous block. The area has excellent infrastructure, including road access and power lines. Mont Royal can acquire a 50% interest from Azimut by spending $4 million in exploration expenditures over four (4) years, and a further 20% interest in exchange for an additional investment of $3 million and the delivery of a preliminary economic assessment.
Dr. Jean-Marc Lulin, P.Geo., prepared this press release as Azimut’s Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101. François Bissonnette, P.Geo., Operations Manager, Simon Houle, P.Geo., Chief Geologist, and Mathieu Landry, P.Geo., have also reviewed the content of this press release.
Mathieu Landry is leaving his full-time position as Vice President of Technology and Business Development for personal reasons and will continue to closely support Azimut’s endeavours as a senior consultant. His dedication and contributions to the Company have been greatly appreciated by all.

The Wapatik Project is located in the James Bay- Eeyou Istchee region, with the James Bay and the Sarcelle roads crosscutting the property allowing year-round access. Azimut has conducted extensive data processing of the James Bay region over 176,300sq/km by applying its proprietary technology, AZtechMine™ expert system, a pioneer data processing and analytics methodology that uses large geoscientific databases, which can be precisely tuned to model the footprint of undiscovered mineral deposits. TheAZtechMine™ approach ensures efficient identification of high- quality targets in the most prospective areas, with the main parameters used for modelling including Government numerical databases combined with the Azimut’s proprietary database, such as multi-element lake- bottom sediment (LBS) geochemistry, magnetism, gravity and mineral occurrences database. The AZtechMine™ proprietary process has been validated over 15 years with greater than 500 new showings and more significantly with the recent |
| exploration success achieved at the Elmer property, following the Patwon discovery in January 2020. Historic exploration has been limited to works completed by Azimut Exploration including mapping and minor sampling. |

| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
Wapatik is located over the Lower Eastmain greenstone belt, part of the La Grande Sub- province of the Archean Superior Province. The most prospective unit appears to be the Kauputauch Formation, which is the same formation hosting the Patwon gold Zone on the Elmer Property. The formation extends from east to west with conductors associated with high magnetic and iron formations to the west. A regional-scale linear fault is interpreted as striking from the Elmer to the Wapatik properties. No economic mineral deposits have been delineated within the Wapatik property. However the nearby Patwon gold Zone is hosted within felsic porphyry intrusions, felsic volcanics and mafic volcanics. The gold bearing facies is characterised by three quartz vein networks, shear veins striking NE-SW, extensional veins striking NW-SE and subhorizontal veins. The regional linear fault can be located sub parallel to the greenstone belt, striking from the Elmer property to the Project, which has been interpreted from the combined regional magnetics, gravity, and topographic data. the East-fault is between the two magnetic domains: a lower domain to the north and a higher domain to the south. Five faults, and a North-West /South-East antiform regional fold in the eastern part of the property. |
| Drill hole Information |
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: |
Information related to the rock chip sampling is shown in table 1 |
| Easting and northing of the drill hole collar | Information related to the rock chip sampling is shown in table 1 |
|
| Elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar |
Information related to the rock chip sampling is shown in table 1, Elevation is estimated. |
|
| Dip and azimuth of the hole | Not applicable as no drilling undertaken | |
| Down hole length and interception depth | Not applicable as no drilling undertaken | |
| Hole length. | Not applicable as no drilling undertaken |
| If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
All information has been shown in Table 1. | |
|---|---|---|
| Data aggregation methods |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. |
No averaging of results has taken place. |
| Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. |
No aggregation of results has taken place. | |
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
No metal equivalents have been used. | |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. |
Mineralisation widths have yet to be defined. Due to the first pass nature of the sampling, mineralisation widths cannot be estimated. |
| If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. |
Mineralisation geometry has yet to be defined. Due to the first pass nature of the sampling, mineralisation geometry cannot be estimated. |
|
| If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
Mineralisation has yet to be defined. | |
| Diagrams | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported. These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
Sample locations shown in Figures 2 and 3 |
| Balanced reporting |
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
All samples have been reported and are tabled in table 1 |
| Other substantive exploration data |
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
Geological observations are included within table 1 |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). |
The next exploration phase will consist of a ground electromagnetic survey to detect conductors potentially related to the mineralization type described above. This surveywill be undertaken as |
| soon as possible next year and will likely be followed by a maiden core drilling program. |
