The VanLab Property
The VanLab property covers a portion of the Labrador Trough approximately 200 kilometres northwest of Schefferville and 200 kilometers south of Kujjuaq. Historical public data obtained from the files of the “Ministère de l’Énergie et des Ressources naturelles-Québec” indicate the presence of various minerals within the siltstone and dolomite Alder Formation. The main mineral potential interest includes vanadium, copper, cobalt, niobium, molybdenum, scandium, uranium and rare earth. Within the Minowean Lake area, there is a sheared corridor 800 m by 11 km long containing polymetallic veins of arsenide, vanadate, copper and pitchblende which presents a line of 6 showings named Maxime, Racine, Ferme Sud, Ferme Nord, Ti- Poil and Surprise 2 (see attached Damara Map). The first five showings are within the Orano(formerly Areva) claims but the “Surprise 2” showing and the extension of sheared corridor are in the Damara claims.
On the “Surprise 2” showing, grab sample no 11353 A graded 6.0% vanadium and 0.7% uranium (GM41311). Another grab sample graded 1439 ppm vanadium, over 2000 ppm molybdenum, 1413 ppm lead, 1.2 ppm silver and 57 ppm uranium (GM62471).
Twelve km southwest of the “Surprise 2” showing, Damara holds a block of claims containing the “Lac Savigny” showing. This showing consists of a main diatreme (brecciated explosive pipe) with a 500 m diameter surrounded by 5 satellite diatremes of a few ten-meter diameters within a 1 km radius area. The diatremes consist of carbonatite within brecciated slate of the Savigny Formation. Sample #1986025434 graded 6697 ppm of rare earth (MB 93-04). Another sample graded 0.02% niobium and 0.04% rare earths (RP 571).
The entire claim block has been surveyed by modern airborne electromagnetics, magnetics and radiometrics. Damara obtained this public data from the “M’inistère” files and reprocessed them to identify specific targets for the 2023 field program. The primary exploration focus will be for vanadium, copper and cobalt.
The funds raised will be used for a one-month prospection and geology survey to locate, sample and map the mineralized zones to prepare for the next exploration phase which should consist of a drilling campaign.
The result from the samples have not been independently verified by Damara. They originate from documents filed with the “Ministère”. The scientific or technical information in this news release pertaining to Damara’s VanLab mineral property was prepared under the supervision of Yvan Bussières (P.Eng), a technical advisor and Qualified Person as defined in National Instruments 43-101 –Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.
None of the securities sold in connection with the Offering will be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and no such securities may be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This news release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
