  • Mont Royal to hold its AGM Friday, 29 October 2021 at 9.00 am (AEDT)

Mont Royal Executive Director, Peter Ruse, commented:During the September Quarter Mont Royal was excited to announce the proposed acquisition of 75% Northern Lights Minerals. The acquisition represents an opportunity for Mont Royal to increase its land position with a significant package of assets extending across underexplored Archean greenstone belt in Quebec. The assets are strategically located with access to an all-weather road that was built just a few years ago. This area has had minimal modern exploration and the opportunity to unlock significant value through modern exploration is very exciting for the company. The board of Mont Royal looks forward to hosting the upcoming AGM to approve this opportunity and our present our plans moving into the 2021 winter exploration season.”

The Acquisition Assets are situated the Upper Eastmain Greenstone belt, located 300km NNE of the town of Chibougamau and 56 km south of Renard Diamond mine.

The Upper Eastmain Greenstone Belt is one of several Archean greenstone belts situated within the Canadian Shield. Due to its northerly location and historically perceived remoteness, the region has not received the same exploration comparable to the belts located further south, that are better recognised as making up the world-famous Abitibi Greenstone Belt, hosting a number of world class mines including (Kirkland Lake, Rouyn Noranda, Malartic and Kerr Addison).

The territory which encompasses the Acquisition Assets is covered by Société du Plan Nord (“SPN”) a government initiative to fund focused on the funding and implementation of integrated and sustainable development of the area. The properties benefit from year-round access via the Route 167 highway. The approximate distance between the MRZ’s Wapatik project and the collection of Acquisition Assets is 350km to the /North-east.

Wapatik Project (Earn-in Azimut Exploration AZM.TSXV)

As announced in the previous quarter (refer announcement dated 27 July 2021), Azmiut completed the property scale till survey.

Mont Royal was pleased to report to shareholders that Azmiut has undertaken an initial prospecting program on the Wapatik Property (“Wapatik”). The Wapatik is located along the same Archean greenstone belt hosting the Elmer gold discovery (100% Azimut) in the James Bay region of Quebec.

Five (5) highly prospective multi-kilometre-scale target sectors are currently evaluated in the field. They have been defined following a systematic targeting approach including a high-resolution magnetic survey (5,116 line-km on 25-m spaced lines), a remote sensing interpretation and an extensive till survey (154 samples) which covered the entire Property earlier this year.

The main targets for gold are sheared iron formation and sheared volcanics related to gold anomalies identified in till. In addition, a kilometre-scale possible mafic-ultramafic intrusion is considered as an attractive copper – nickel – PGE target.
