1D New Québec and Torngat Orogens, Southeast Churchill Province 1D In the Lac Maugue area (project 8, Figure 1D-1), between New Québec and Torngat lakes Romanet and Dunphy, Manicouagan Minerals Inc. Orogens, Southeast Churchill obtained average grades of 132 g/t Ag and 0.46% Cu over 4.85 metres from channel samples. A one-metre section of the Province (Core Zone), channel sample yielded grades of 237 g/t Ag and 1.5% Cu. The company excavated a new trench located 97 metres to the and Ungava Orogen northwest of a former trench from the 1990s. Previous work on known copper-zinc and copper showings near Lac Maugue Serge Perreault, Abdelali Moukhsil (Lac-Maugue and Maugue-Sud) dates back to the 1990s.

This orogen is divided into lithotectonic domains Wardle et al., 2002] [Figure 1D-1]). and complexes separated by ductile shear zones (e.g., the Abloviak deformation zone, Figure 1D-1). The main targeted commodities in the New Québec Orogen and the core zone in 2004 were copper, nickel, platinum group Located in the Southeastern Churchill Province, the Trough elements (PGE), zinc, and cobalt. The search for diamonds hinterland and the Torngat foreland were called the “core zone” generated some interest in the Torngat Orogen (Figure 1D-1). by James et al. (1996). The core zone is composed largely of The Ungava Orogen (Ungava Trough or Cape Smith Belt) once Archean gneisses with bands of Paleoproterozoic supracrustal again attracted several exploration companies in the search for rocks.

The North Rae uranium property (project 12, Figure 1D-1), held by Azimut Exploration Inc. and Northwestern New Québec Orogen Mineral Ventures Inc., is located to the south and southeast GEOLOGICAL OVERVIEW of Kangiqsualujjuaq, near the mouth of Rivière George on Also referred to as the Labrador Trough in Québec, or simply the east coast of Ungava Bay. The main uranium zone lies “the Trough”, the New Québec Orogen, with rocks dated from within a strong radiometric anomaly (2,000 to 30,000 counts 2.17 to 1.79 Ga, forms a fold and thrust belt along the margin per second) that extends for about 5 km along strike.

Uranium mineralization occurs in pegmatitic, granitic and gneissic On the Willbob property (project 3, Figure 1D-1), the rocks. Uraninite was observed in two locations and confi rmed Nunavik Mineral Exploration Fund, in partnership with by microprobe analysis. Twenty-two samples from 10 distinct Virginia Mines Inc., obtained grades of 2.97 g/t Au over 2.9 m, uranium occurrences along the Rae-1 Zone on the North Rae and 2.9 g/t Au over 3.9 m from channel samples on the Willbob property yielded grades above 0.05% U3O8.

Grab samples yielded assays of 19.8 g/t Au (KUNI yielded grades above 0.1% U3O8; best results are 0.59%, 0.57%, showing), and of 9.53 and 9.66 g/t Au (Polar Bear showing) in 0.46%, 0.3%, and 0.22% U3O8. quartz veins with visible gold. The gold-bearing quartz veins are hosted in a differentiated gabbroic sill emplaced in mudstone and quartzitic sandstone. This property was explored during the 1960s (Willbob-Ouest showing) and in the late 1990s. Gold mineralization is associated with chalcopyrite, sphalerite, and arsenopyrite. 31 1D Ungava Orogen have been drill-tested.
