About Chateau Fort:

The property is along strike and directly adjacent to the past-producing Eastmain Mine property of Eastmain Resources Inc. (TSX.V: ER), which contains 255,750 ounces of gold and 4.1 million pounds of copper, including measured resources of 91,500 tons grading 0.268 ounces’/ton gold and indicated resources of 786,600 tons grading 0.294 ounces/ton (Campbell Resources, 2004 Annual Report, available on SEDAR at www.sedar.ca ). The Chateau Fort property is 18,867 hectares in size and includes Au, Ag, Cu, Zn and As anomalies from Anthem's geochemical surveys (lake bottom, soil and stream sediments). Compilation work has identified nine high-priority gold targets for follow-up. Numerous geophysical targets including a number of high-priority features have been outlined as a result of the recent interpretation of the 2,100 line-kilometre airborne electromagnetic survey conducted over its road-accessible Chateau Fort project in Quebec. The survey was flown during the summer of 2015 by Prospectair Geosurveys (Prospectair) using the ProspecTEM time-domain electromagnetic system with a line-spacing of 100m.
