Majescor Resources Inc. (TSX.V: MJX) ("Majescor" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has acquired, from Diagnos, an option for 131 mining claims from the Kimberlite-Extension route 169 project.
The 131 claims total 6,875 hectares and comprise 37 kimberlite targets generated by Diagnos' proprietary Computer Aided Resource Detection System "CARDS" methodology for screening out and prioritizing anomalies. Some of the targets are located directly beside Quebec's first diamond mine (the Renard Diamond project) and recent kimberlite discoveries made by Stornoway Diamond Corporation (TSX: SWY) ("Stornoway") (see their May 5, 2016 press release) on their Adamantin project.
CARDS uses powerful pattern recognition algorithms to analyse digitally compiled exploration data and to identify targets with signatures similar to that of kimberlites from the Renard cluster owned by Stornoway, and which contains a number of economic pipes. During the months of January 2016 through to March 2016, over 23,912 km2 were subject to evaluation by DIAGNOS in the Northern Quebec region between the 50th and the 55th parallels using a mosaic of two leveled and merged airborne magnetic-spectrometric surveys from the South LG4 and the High Eastmain areas, James Bay. Data from the Quebec government Sigeom database and from technical reports published by Stornoway were used as training material in order to characterize 12 known kimberlite pipes from the Renard and Beaver Lake clusters.
Two different models, such as the Kimberlite Similarity algorithm (KSM) and the Positive-Negative algorithm, at a 60m resolution were generated over the South LG4-High Eastmain modeling area. DIAGNOS generated and staked two groups of 9 and 28 Kimberlite Pipe Targets based on two levels of similarity at 95% and 90%.
Under the terms of the executed agreement, Majescor will pay CAD $50,000 in cash and issue 2.5 million common shares to Diagnos. The agreement provides for Majescor to spend a minimum of CAD $150,000 on exploration work on the targets sold by Diagnos in the first year following the signature of the agreement and spend a total of CAD $300,000, including the first year exploration work, on the targets sold by Diagnos during the second year following the signature of the agreement.
"With this project, Majescor returns to its roots, the exploration of diamonds in Quebec. The addition of Mr. Jacques Letendre to its Board of Directors and Majescor's extensive kimberlite exploration data base for the province bode well for our chances of success in the coming months," declared André Audet, Majescor Chief Executive Officer.
