Description:
The Bapst property is located in Bapst Township, 115 kilometers north of La Sarre and 75 kilometers west of Matagami, immediately east of Harricanna River and is accessible by all weather gravel road. It is 100% owned by Cartier Resources Inc. and consists of 22 contiguous claims for a total of 1222.5 hectares.
The geological environment of the property consists of a variety of lithologies ranging from andesitic lavas and tuffs, graphitic schists and mafic intrusives. The main structural features are characterized by the junction of Bapst Fault with two other faults and by the Brouillan-East Anticline located between these faults. The favorable gold setting is emphasized by the presence of carbonatized units as well as iron rich rocks.
Previous programs tested for base and precious metals. The property has been prospected by 14 diamond drill holes from 1987 to 1997. From these efforts, two drill holes intersected significant gold occurrences. The first consists of 4.5 g/t Au over 1.5 metres and the second of 4.17 g/t Au over 0.9 metres. The western portion of the property contains several rock outcrops.
A thorough geological compilation is underway. Field reconnaissance has been completed and three diamond drill targets have been developed for testing. The company will seek a partner to explore the land holding.
