Orford Mining Corporation announced a renewed focus on encouraging exploration results at its Qiqavik project in Northern Quebec, including the recent discovery of a thick sequence of gold mineralized quartz-carbonate veining associated with sulphidic metasediments which was intersected in three diamond drill holes, and multiple high-grade surface gold showings . Exploration programs for the summer of 2019 are currently being developed to follow up on these promising results. On Orford's Qiqavik gold property in northern Quebec, final results for frost boil sampling from the 2018 exploration campaign have been received. Frost boil samples represent the fine fraction of basal till that has been mobilised to surface by the freeze-thaw cycle and, given the glacial history of the Qiqavik region, are indicative of close bedrock sources to the south of the anomalies. Frost boil sampling and the resulting dispersion trail patterns have been an essential tool to locate bedrock sources of gold mineralization at Qiqavik. Results at Central Qiqavik show a dispersion trail cut-off at the shear zone that hosts the previously reported drill-proven Interlake gold mineralization. To the East of Interlake along an untested portion of the same shear zone, a stronger and wider dispersion trail is cut off at the shear zone. Additionally, a separate dispersion trail to the south of this Interlake East anomaly is cut-off by a parallel structure. These dispersion tail cut-offs are associated with structural complexity along the regional shears as indicated by detailed magnetic surveying and represent high quality targets within the Qiqavik break shear zone system. As part of this refocusing, Orford has elected not to maintain the earn-in options with Carolina Gold Resources on the Jones-Keystone and Landrum-Faulkner properties in the Carolina Gold Belt as exploration results from these properties have not met Orford's strategic objectives. Orford continues to evaluate opportunities that meet its stated objectives of focusing on underexplored regions that bear strong geological similarities and are in close proximity to existing mining operations for major mining producers.
