“We’re quite confident about its potential, and converting that potential into an economic reality”
The mining company with the largest number of properties in Nunavik is gearing up for airborne surveys along one of its properties in the region this summer.
Starting this week, Quebec-based Azimut Exploration Inc. will launch electromagnetic surveys over a 20-kilometre stretch of its Nantais property, located about 80 km south of Glencore’s Raglan mine and 115 km southwest of the community of Kangiqsujuaq.
Earlier sampling in the area showed deposits of gold, silver and copper.
Azimut has contracted an Ontario-based company to do the surveys over the region, with the hope of moving the project into the drilling stage, said the company’s president and chief executive officer Jean-Marc Lulin.
