Majescor Resources (MAJ-V) is planning a drill campaign slated to start up later this month over 10 to 15 geophysical anomalies on its 878-sq.-km Wemindji property 40 km east of James Bay in northern Quebec.
Currently, the company is in the midst of a program of line cutting and geophysical surveying in preparation for the drilling.
Many of the targeted anomalies are found near the head of a kimberlite indicator mineral dispersion train.
Last fall, Majescor dug 39 pits to depths of up to 3 metres over a portion of the Wemindji property covering two of three known areas of kimberlite float. In all, 71 samples of various material ranging from glacio-marine sediments at surface to undisturbed basal till at depth were collected.
Majescor says the results form the pit samples, along with other data, define a ribbon of indicator minerals, which runs parallel to the prevailing and most recent glacial movement. The ribbon, which averages 200 to 300 metres in width, runs more than 2 km. Majescor says the abundance of forsteritic olivine, coarse grains, and indicator minerals with fragile surface textures (perovskite mantles on ilmenite and keliphyte rims on garnet) suggest a proximal source.
The company also notes that two of the four indicator counts above 5,000 in ribbon are from basal till, the highest being 12,350.
Last fall, Majescor drilled six shallow holes to test a 400-by-400-metre area containing abundant indicator minerals, kimberlitic rock fragments coincident with a magnetic anomaly. The holes failed to cut any kimberlitic rock.
