Montreal-based Azimut Exploration and strategic partner SOQUEM report drilling multiple new gold-copper zones of mineralization on the Rex-Duquet property in Nunavik. SOQUEM supplied C$4 million for work at the site, and Azimut is the operator.
Azimut believes work done so far helps establish Rex as a district scale, polymetallic opportunity. Discoveries at two zones were highlighted.
