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
0.072 0.171 161 Not analyzed 0.27 26.42 E6320234
  • 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 rock chips were collected within the Wapatik
Gold Copper Project which consists of 220 claims
totalling 115km2. The Company has entered into
a binding JV option agreement with Azimut
Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AZM), which if exercised
allows the company to earn up to 70% of the
Wapatik Gold-Copper Project, located in James
Bay area.

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.
