Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 11, 2017) - Secova
Metals Corp. (TSXV: SEK) (FSE: N4UN) (OTC: SEKZF) ('Secova' or the
'Company') is pleased to provide a review of significant growth for the
Company encompassing multiple acquisitions in Quebec, project advancements
at the Duvay/Chenier project, strategic corporate financings, and the
building of a dynamic and experienced team to lead the Company going
forward.
In 2017, Secova will begin drilling on the Duvay/Chenier project with the
goal of establishing the minable resource associated with the known
mineralization, along with project development on its Eagle River
acquisition in the Windfall Lake area of Quebec.
P. Bradley Kitchen, CEO of Secova, commented: 'I am extremely pleased with
our progress in 2016, and proud of each member of the Secova Team. We have
also benefitted by the strong continued support of Tres-Or Resources (TSXV:
TRS), our strategic partner at the Duvay/Chenier project. During the year,
we remained focused on ensuring each strategic step clearly provided a path
to being able to develop Secova's assets that would deliver a significant
gold resource portfolio. In 2017, we are positioned to complete two key
resource development programs at our gold projects in Quebec, respectively
the Duvay/Chenier gold project and the Eagle River claims near the Windfall
Lake gold deposit, where each project has the potential to yield
multi-million-ounce resource deposits. I would like to thank each of our
shareholders for their support during 2016 and the dedication of our
amazing team in Quebec and British Columbia. We expect 2017 to be the year
of significant advancement for Secova, and an elevated presence amongst our
peers.'
Highlights of 2016 Activities:
-
Increased the size of the Duvay/Chenier claims to 7,766 contiguous
hectares.
-
The company has the right to earn up to 90 per cent of the combined
Duvay and Chenier claims from Tres-Or Resources Ltd. in the Abitibi
region of Quebec. The consolidated Duvay property includes many
other gold zones such as Grenadier West, East Mac, Bunker, Fontana
and several others just outside of the property (such as Standard).
Secova remains focused to develop its exploration program one step
at a time.
-
Completed first phase of IPower 3D survey for a length of 750 meters
and to a depth of up to 400 meters.
-
Historic results show attractive gold results and the majority of
these results were from surface to 100 meters in depth. The new
IPower 3D survey shows mineralization open to depths over 300
meters.
-
First 3D gold mineralization model created from historic drilling,
surface exploration and the IPower 3D survey.
-
Modeling shows distinct areas of gold mineralization in multiple cigar
shaped cylinders angled at 50 degrees from vertical and appear to be
open at depth.
-
Six targets identified along the current strike on the Duvay claims
-
These targets suggested that mineralization continued to the North
West and was the main driver for the company to arrange for the
acquisition of the Chenier claims.
-
Future targets to be confirmed along strike using the IPower 3D
modeling to extend the current strike length by 1.3 km to 2.05km.
-
Acquired the Eagle River gold project which is located in the Windfall
Lake area in the Urban-Barry township of Quebec.
-
These claims are directly adjacent to Osisko Mining Inc.'s Windfall
Lake gold deposit and Bonterra Resources Inc.'s Gladiator gold
deposit. This property is on the southern extension of the gold
structure in the area and historic information shows multiple areas
of potential gold mineralization.
-
Added key strategic members to the technical and management team.
Morgan Good, President of Secova Metals Corp. commented: 'Over the past
year we have been able to explore the property along the strike on the
Duvay/Chenier gold Project to over 2.0 km. When the IPower 3D modeling is
completed we will have a model of the gold mineralization to a depth of
about 400 meters along the entire length of the strike. We have already
identified six drill targets and expect to expand the number of targets
with the results from the new IPower 3D survey. We are currently preparing
the drill maps and will begin drilling shortly. Our interpretation and
understanding of the deposit and region, has increased immensely, leading
to a focused exploration program for 2017. Secova's technical team and
contracted partners in Quebec should be congratulated for an amazing job
and commitment on all levels.'
2017 Strategic Goals:
-
Begin diamond drill program at Duvay/Chenier targeting.
-
Drill mapping is currently being prepared.
-
Add 1.3km of IPower 3D gold mineralization modeling to have a model of
the entire 2.05 km strike length.
-
Update current geological model on Duvay/Chenier to include new drill
results.
-
