Azimut Exploration Inc. reported that diamond drilling has resumed on its 100% owned Elmer Property in the Eeyou Istchee James Bay region of Quebec, Canada. The minimum 3,000-metre program will test high-potential shallow-depth targets. Azimut believes the Elmer Property has excellent exploration potential, which could significantly increase the mineral resources already identified on the project.

Currently, estimated resources for the Patwon Gold Zone amount to 311,200 oz at 1.93 g/t Au Indicated and 513 900 oz at 1.94 g/t Au Inferred. Another positive step is the discovery by Azimut's prospecting team of a new significant copper-gold showing ("Equinox") on the project. Azimut has consistently reiterated its confidence in the potential for additional surface discoveries along the 35-kilometre-long property.

The Equinox showing, located 14 kilometres east of the Patwon Zone, is a quartz-vein mineralized zone with disseminated chalcopyrite and bornite. It appears as a steeply dipping east-west-trending zone, at least 100 metres long by 30 metres wide, open in all directions. Lithologies in the vicinity are a felsic intrusion, iron formations and metasediments.

The best grades obtained from the initial grab sampling program reached 5.29% Cu, 1.02 g/t Au, 51.7 g/t Ag, 0.10% Bi and 54.3 g/t Te. Note that grab samples are selective by nature and unlikely to represent average grades. Natural Resources Canada lists copper, bismuth and tellurium as Critical Minerals.
