Osisko Metals Incorporated announced that it has signed a definitiveagreement with Canadian Continental Exploration Corporation ("CCEC") to acquire 27 mineral claims (the "CCEC Properties") in the Bathurst Mining Camp (the "BMC"). The individual mineral claims comprising the CCEC Properties consist of 4 to 48 claim units totaling 320 claim units or 6,976 hectares. The Properties cover 27 distinct coincident gravity and electromagnetic geophysical anomalies located over a wide area and in a variety of geological settings throughout the BMC. CCEC selected these anomalies last year based on compilation of publicly available geophysical data from recent airborne surveys. CCEC drill-tested three anomalies with six holes, two of which encountered pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite mineralization typical of stockworks that underlie most of the massive sulphide bodies in the BMC. Osisko Metals will test all of these anomalies in 2018 with roaming drills that will be added to the existing three drills defining resources around known deposits.
