Marc-André Pelletier, President and CEO commented: "With the launch of the $10 million in exploration drilling as part of the Option Agreement with Osisko Mining on the Phoenix JV and positive results from the 2023 campaign at our 100%-owned Desmaraisville property, this year holds transformative potential for Bonterra. Notably, all drill hole mineralized intersections at Desmaraisville fall within 4 km of the Bachelor Mill Complex. The discovery of a new mineralization type on the east side of the O'Brien Intrusive in hole BRDS 23-021, distinct from the mineralization typically found at the Bachelor-Moroy deposits, underscores the possibility of new findings on the Desmaraisville property. Compilation work is ongoing, and the final interpretation of the 2023 geophysical surveys are expected soon. These findings will contribute to generating highly prospective drill targets for exploration later this year."
总裁兼首席执行官马克-安德烈·佩莱捷评论说:“作为与奥西斯科矿业就菲尼克斯合资企业达成的期权协议的一部分,启动了1000万美元的勘探钻探,以及2023年我们在德斯马赖斯维尔100%持股权地产的活动取得了积极成果,今年为Bonterra带来了变革潜力。值得注意的是,Desmaraisville的所有钻孔矿化十字路口都位于距离Bachelor Mill综合体4公里以内。在奥布莱恩侵入式岩东侧的BRDS 23-021号孔中发现了一种新的矿化类型,这与巴切勒-莫罗伊矿床中通常发现的矿化区别开来,这凸显了在德斯马赖斯维尔地产上发现新发现的可能性。汇编工作正在进行中,预计2023年地球物理调查的最终解释将很快作出。这些发现将有助于在今年晚些时候为勘探制定极具前景的钻探目标。”
Highlights of the Diamond Drilling Results:
钻石钻探结果的亮点:
The diamond drilling program at the Desmaraisville South project had several objectives. The main objectives were to intersect gold mineralization; (1) on the eastern side of the O'Brien Intrusive ("East Area"), (2) along the extensions of various gold zones discovered in 2015 south of the O'Brien Intrusive ("South Area"), (3) related to geophysical targets on the west of the Bachelor Lake felsic intrusion ("Bachelor Lake Intrusive") enhanced by the presence of gold showings at surface and finally, (4) to test the deep southwest plunge of a zinc, lead, and silver mineralized body of the former Coniagas Mine (Figures 1 and 2).
Desmaraisville South项目的钻石钻探计划有几个目标。主要目标是相交金矿化;(1)在奥布莱恩侵入式河的东侧(”东部区域“),(2)沿着2015年在奥布莱恩侵入式河以南发现的各种金矿区的延伸部分(”南部区域“),(3) 与巴切尔湖长英质入侵以西的地球物理目标有关 (”单身湖侵入式“) 由于地表出现金矿而得到加强,最后,(4)测试前科尼亚加斯矿的锌、铅和银矿化体的西南深处坠落(图 1 和 2)。
In addition, drill holes were positioned to improve the understanding of the stratigraphy on the property and to better position the boundaries of the various formations within it. The Company is also seeking to better locate two major structures that affect these formations: the Opawica-Guercheville deformation corridor, which hosts numerous gold showings and deposits that have been the subject of historical resource calculations, and the Lamarck-Wedding Fault, host to the former Shortt Lake Gold Mine. Recent geophysical surveys on the Desmaraisville property should help Bonterra to properly position these two major structures.
此外,还设置了钻孔,以增进对该地层地层的理解,并更好地确定其内各种地层的边界。该公司还在寻求更好地定位影响这些地层的两座主要建筑:奥帕维卡-格尔切维尔变形走廊,这里有大量的金矿和矿床,这些都是历史资源计算的主题;拉马克-婚礼断层是前肖特湖金矿的所在地。最近对Desmaraisville地产进行的地球物理调查应有助于Bonterra正确定位这两个主要建筑。
The gold mineralized zone containing 2.23 g/t Au over 8.2 m, including 9.26 g/t Au over 1.7 m in hole BRDS-23-021 (Figures 2 and 3) is located at the contact between a tuff and a massive basalt rock unit. The contact zone is moderately silicified and contains 2-3% pyrite in clusters. This type of gold-bearing environment is different from the Bachelor and Moroy gold-bearing environment. This new mineralized zone appears to be related to a structural lineament trending N080 to N070 and this lineament is more than one km in length. Borehole BRDS-23-030 (Figure 2) is more than 275 m deep and has intersected an atypical gold mineralization characterized by a strong epidote alteration with a low sulphide content. The best mineralized interval returned a value of 15.30 g/t Au over 1.0m.
在 8.2 米以上的含有 2.23 克/吨金的金矿化带,包括 BRDS-23-021 孔中超过 1.7 米的 9.26 克/吨金(图 2 和 3)位于凝灰岩和巨大玄武岩单元的接触处。接触区呈中度硅化,团簇中含有 2-3% 的黄铁矿。这种含金环境不同于 Bachelor 和 Moroy 的含金环境。这个新的矿化带似乎与从N080到N070的结构线有关,该线的长度超过一千米。BRDS-23-030 钻孔(图 2)的深度超过 275 米,与一种非典型的金矿化区相交,其特征是强烈的外显岩蚀变,硫化物含量低。最佳矿化间隔返回的金值为15.30 g/t Au,超过1.0m。
Drill hole BRDS-23-013 (Figure 4) intersected a gold enriched zone (0.80 g/t Au over 11.7 m, including 2.84 g/t Au over 1.4 m) associated with a strongly altered felsic dike west of the Bachelor Lake Intrusive. The host rocks directly in contact with the dike are strongly silicified. It remains to be determined whether the IP geophysical anomaly is related to this mineralized zone and if so, the mineralized zone could extend for several hundred metres.
BRDS-23-013 钻孔(图 4)与金富集区(在 11.7 米以上 0.80 g/t Au,包括 1.4 m 以上的 2.84 g/t Au)相交,该富集区与巴切尔湖侵入式以西的强度变化长英质堤防有关。直接与堤防接触的宿主岩石会发生强烈的硅化反应。IP地球物理异常是否与该矿化带有关还有待确定,如果是,矿化带可能会延伸数百米。

Quality Control and Reporting Protocols
质量控制和报告协议
The Desmaraisville project's drill core gold analyses are performed at Activation Laboratories ("Actlabs") located in Ste-Germaine-Boulé, Quebec, and at the Agat Laboratory ("Agat") located in Val d'Or, Quebec. The external laboratories employ a rigorous QA-QC analysis program that meets industry standards. The analyses are carried out by fire assay (A.A.) with atomic absorption finish and with gravimetric finish for assay above 10 g/t Au at both Actlabs and Agat. Blanks, duplicates, and certified reference standards are inserted into the sample stream to monitor the Laboratory's performance. The Company's QA-QC program requires that at least 5 to 10% of the samples be analyzed by an independent laboratory. These verification samples are sent to ALS Minerals laboratory facility located in Val-d'Or, Quebec. The verifications show a high degree of correlation with the laboratory's results. For the drilling program a total of 12,179 drill core samples and 2,160 QA-QC samples, have been sent to Actlabs and Agat.

The words "will", "anticipated", "plans" or other similar words and phrases are intended to identify forward-looking information. This forward-looking information includes namely information with respect to the planned exploration programs and the potential growth in mineral resources. Exploration results that include drill results on wide spacings may not be indicative of the occurrence of a mineral deposit and such results do not provide assurance that further work will establish sufficient grade, continuity, metallurgical characteristics, and economic potential to be classed as a category of mineral resource. The potential quantities and grades of drilling targets are conceptual in nature and, there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the targets being delineated as mineral resources. Forward-looking information is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause Bonterra's actual results, level of activity, performance, or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking information. Such factors include but are not limited to: uncertainties related exploration and development; the ability to raise sufficient capital to fund exploration and development; changes in economic conditions or financial markets, environmental and other judicial, regulatory, political, and competitive developments; technological or operational difficulties or inability to obtain permits encountered in connection with exploration activities; and labour relations matters. This list is not exhaustive of the factors that may affect our forward-looking information.
