  • 3.6 metres grading 1.6% copper and 27.9% zinc on CFO horizon
  • 26.7 metres grading 0.7% copper, 5.2% zinc and 42.3 g/t Ag on Gap Lens

Montréal, October 29, 2015- Yorbeau Resources Inc.(TSX: YRB.A) (the "Company" or "Yorbeau") is pleased to report on recent diamond drilling results at its 100% owned Scott Lake project in Quebec.

Drill hole SC-82 intersected two distinct mineralized zones consisting of shallower very high grade massive sulphides along the potential up-dip extension of the CFO Lens horizon, and deeper combined stringer and massive sulphides within the newly discovered Gap Lens. These new mineralized intervals, as were all intercepts released by the Company since June, are located outside of the current mineral resources (see attached Figure 1) at the Scott project.

Assay results are shown below:

DDH SC-82 Section 1900W (weighted averages)

From(m) To(m) Length(m) Cu% Zn% Aug/t Agg/t Remarks
607.5 611.1 3.6 1.6 27.9 0.4 20.2 Massive sulphides (CFO horizon)
799.8 826.5 26.7 0.7 5.2 0.4 42.3 Stringers and massive sulphides (Gap Lens)
including  
799.8 815.0 15.2 1.1 4.9 0.5 59.2 Stringer sulphides
and  
821.1 824.6 3.5 0.3 9.4 0.1 17.7 Massive sulphides

As this is still preliminary drilling on this zone, the exact shape and true width cannot be determined with certainty. The core lengths obtained may not reflect the true width of the mineralization.

The high grade massive sulphides (1.6% copper and 27.9% zinc) discovered at a depth of 607.5 metres are associated with a distinct mineralized horizon located about 100 metres to the north of the one hosting the newly discovered Gap Lens. These sulphides are associated with a rhyolite unit known as "Tony Rhyolite" and this interval is therefore interpreted as being located along the up-dip extension of the CFO Lens but at much shallower depth than indicated by previous work (see attached Figure 1). The 26.7 metre interval at a depth of 799.8 metres is interpreted as being part of the newly discovered Gap Lens and suggests continuity along a strike length of at least 100 metres for the Gap Lens (Figure 1).

Company president Gérald Riverin stated: "We are very excited with the results of SC-82. In particular, while the 27 metre mineralized interval in the Gap Lens is very encouraging, the high grade massive sulphides intersected on what could be the extension of the CFO Lens showed up as a bonus on our drilling program on the Gap Lens. Because of its high grades and shallower depth, and subject to confirmation by further drilling, this new zone could become a significant development at the Scott project."

The Scott Lake property, 100% owned by Yorbeau, already hosts a number of polymetallic massive sulphide lenses. These represent combined inferred resources of 5.45 million tonnes grading 1.2% copper, 4.6% zinc, 0.2 g/t gold and 34 g/t silver, using an NSR cut-off of $80 per tonne (Technical Report prepared by Roscoe Postle Associates and filed by Cogitore Resources in 2011).

Drilling continues with one drill rig and the Company is in fact completing the sampling of yet another hole that was recently completed down-dip of SC-82.

All drill core discussed in this press release was logged and marked up for assay at the Company's secure facility in Chibougamau, Quebec. Drill core for assay was split in half. Half of the core was shipped in sample bags to Techni-Lab S.G.B. Abitibi Inc. (ACTLABS) of Ste-Germaine-Boulé, Quebec, with appropriate standards, duplicates and replicates used for quality control purposes. The other half of the core is retained for future reference.

Work is carried out by the personnel of Yorbeau, under the supervision of Gérald Riverin, PhD, P. Geo. He is a qualified person (as defined by National Instrument 43-101) and has reviewed and approved the content of this release.

Yorbeau resumes diamond drilling at the Scott Lake project

Download PDF version   |   Views all documents on Sedar

Montréal, August 4, 2015 - Yorbeau Resources Inc. (TSX: YRB.A) (the “Company” or “Yorbeau”) is pleased to announce that drilling at the Scott Lake Project in the Chibougamau mining camp of Quebec resumed today with one drill rig.

The Scott Lake property, 100% owned by Yorbeau, already hosts a number of polymetallic massive sulphide lenses. These represent combined inferred resources of 5.45 million tonnes grading 1.2% copper, 4.6% zinc, 0.2 g/t gold and 34 g/t silver, using an NSR cut-off of $80 per tonne (Technical Report prepared by Roscoe Postle Associates and filed by Cogitore Resources in 2011).

Three (3) holes of the 2015 program at Scott Lake have been completed to date and all three have intersected massive sulphides over significant core lengths and with various grades of copper, zinc, silver and gold (see press releases of June 16 and July 9, 2015). Significantly, the sector where the drilling was done is centered between the West Lens and the deeper CFO Lens, which is an area strategically located where there was also an undrilled “gap” in the property, hence the name “Gap Lens” for the new zone.

The results of subsequent borehole geophysical data in the three 2015 holes seem to support the presence of a conductive body of “significant size” associated with the massive sulphide intercepts. Consequently, the Company has decided to drill the new discovery with enough detail (+/- 50m spacing) to be able to carry out a preliminary resource estimate on the Gap Lens. Approximately thirteen (13) new intercepts will be obtained within an area of about 400m by 600m, in a combination of new holes and of several wedge-cuts from existing holes.

Work is carried out by the personnel of Yorbeau, under the supervision of Gérald Riverin, PhD, P.Geo. He is a qualified person (as defined by National Instrument 43-101) and has more than 38 years of experience in mineral exploration.

Another hit of massive sulfides confirms discovery of new lens at Scott Lake

Download PDF version   |   Views all documents on Sedar

Montréal, July 9, 2015 - Yorbeau Resources Inc.(TSX: YRB.A) (the “Company” or “Yorbeau”) is pleased to report on exciting developments at its 100% owned Scott Lake project in Quebec. The third hole of the program (SC-48E) which represents a step-out of 67m from SC-53W4 (Company’s June 16, 2015 press release) intersected massive sulphides and confirms discovery of a new massive sulphide lens outside of the current mineral resources on a new horizon situated at 60m to the south of CFO lens.

Assay results are shown below:

DDH SC-48E Section 1900W (weighted averages)

From(m) To(m) Length(m) Cu(%) Zn(%) Au(g/t) Ag(g/t) Remarks
767.3 799.5 32.2 0.3 3.0 0.3 30.4 Massive sulfides, stringers and a few dykes
Including
767.3 780.8 13.5 0.4 3.5 0.3 42.2 Massive sulfides, stringers and a few mafic dykes
And
792.0 799.5 7.5 0.2 4.7 0.7 29.7 Massive sulfides and a few dykes

This new massive sulphides lens is located between the West Lens and the deeper CFO Lens (see attached Figure 1) where there is an important undrilled gap. Three holes drilled so far (SC-53W3, SC-53W4and SC-48E)lead us to believe that this well located new lens couldsignificantly increase tonnage and have positive impact on the economics of the project. At this time the mineralized zone still remains open at least in three directions (up, east and west). Follow-up drilling on this discovery will focus to extend this new lens between these two important already known lenses (CFO and West lenses).

The shape and true width of this new lens cannot be determined with certainty without additional drilling. The core lengths obtained may not reflect the true width of the mineralization.

This recent success confirms that additional massive sulphide lenses may indeed be located on the property.

The Scott Lake property, 100% owned by Yorbeau, already hosts a number of polymetallic massive sulphide lenses. These represent combined inferred resources of 5.45 million tonnes grading 1.2% copper, 4.6% zinc, 0.2 g/t gold and 34 g/t silver, using an NSR cut-off of $80 per tonne (Technical Report prepared by Roscoe Postle Associates and filed by Cogitore Resources in 2011).

All drill core discussed in this press release was logged and marked up for assay at the Company’s secure facility in Chibougamau, Quebec. Drill core for assay was split in half. Half of the core was shipped in sample bags to Laboratoire ALS Chemex of Val d’Or with appropriate standards, duplicates and replicates used for quality control purposes. The other half of the core is retained for future reference.

Work is carried out by the personnel of Yorbeau, under the supervision of Sylvain Lépine, M.Sc, P.Geo. He is a qualified person (as defined by National Instrument 43-101) and has reviewed and approved the content of this release.

Yorbeau intersects zinc-rich massive sulphides at Scott Lake project

Download PDF version   |   Views all documents on Sedar

Montréal, June 16, 2015- Yorbeau Resources Inc.(TSX: YRB.A) (the “Company” or “Yorbeau”) is pleasedto report on exciting developments at its 100% owned Scott Lake project in Quebec. The second hole of the program intersected zinc-rich massive sulphides which may, upon confirmation by further drilling, represent a new massive sulphide lens outside of the current mineral resources. Assay results are shown below:

DDH SC-53W4 Section 2000W (weighted averages)

From (m) To (m) Length (m) Cu % Zn % Au g/t Ag g/t Remarks
936.9 959.8 22.9 0.2 7.9 0.2 25.7 massive sulphides and a few dykes
including
939.4 944.3 4.9 0.4 14.4 0.1 36.9 massive sulphides
and
947.4 951.5 4.1 0.2 10.2 0.2 27.1 massive sulphides

The overall mineralized interval consists of volcanogenic massive sulphides cut by a few metric mafic dykes which may contain remobilized sulphides. As it is the first and only hole on this zone, the shape and true width cannot be determined with certainty. The core lengths obtained may not reflect the true width of the mineralization.

Prior to drilling SC-53W4, the Company first started the program by drilling SC-53W3 and hit mostly low grade stringer sulphides about 80 metres below the SC-53W4. Interestingly however, these stringer sulphides include highly anomalous gold values over a 49 metre interval as shown below:

 

DDH SC-53W3 Section 2000W (weighted averages)

From (m) To (m) Length (m) Cu % Zn % Au g/t Ag g/t Remarks
998.6 1047.7 49.1 0.04 0.5 0.5 9.1 stringer sulphides
including
998.6 1000.6 2.0 0.10 6.4 0.2 26.8 massive sulphides

The SC-53W4 massive sulphide zone is located between the West Lens and the deeper CFO Lens (see attached Figure 1). As mentioned in the Company’s May 6, 2015 press release, this target area is located where there is an important undrilled gap between the West and CFO lenses. The drilling program was specifically targeting a geophysical conductor in this sector and the success encountered is a testimony to the abilities of our technical staff to make discoveries.

Company president Gérald Riverin stated: “We are very excited about this new massive sulphide zone at Scott because it occurs in a strategically located “gap” in the drilling coverage and in the known Scott mineral resources, and also because borehole geophysics suggests that SC-53W4 only hit the edge of a large conductor. Although this is still only the first hole in this new zone, we believe it represents yet another milestone in our objective of increasing mineral resources at Scott Lake. We are looking forward to further testing this new lens and to developing other targets as well.”

The Scott Lake property, 100% owned by Yorbeau, already hosts a number of polymetallic massive sulphide lenses. These represent combined inferred resources of 5.45 million tonnes grading 1.2% copper, 4.6% zinc, 0.2 g/t gold and 34 g/t silver, using an NSR cut-off of $80 per tonne (Technical Report prepared by Roscoe Postle Associates and filed by Cogitore Resources in 2011).

Follow-up drilling on the SC-53W4 discovery will be conducted immediately after completing interpretation of borehole geophysics, designing the technical parameters of the planned drill hole and obtaining appropriate permits.

All drill core discussed in this press release was logged and marked up for assay at the Company’s secure facility in Chibougamau, Quebec. Drill core for assay was split in half. Half of the core was shipped in sample bags to Laboratoire ALS Chemex of Val d’Or with appropriate standards, duplicates and replicates used for quality control purposes. The other half of the core is retained for future reference.

Yorbeau initiates diamond drilling program on the Scott Lake project

Download PDF version   |   Views all documents on Sedar

Montréal, May 6, 2015 - Yorbeau Resources Inc.(TSX: YRB.A) (the “Company” or “Yorbeau”) is pleased to announce that drilling at the Scott Lake Project in the Chibougamau mining camp of Quebec started today with one drill rig.

The Scott Lake property, 100% owned by Yorbeau, already hosts a number of polymetallic massive sulphide lenses. These represent combined inferred resources of 5.45 million tonnes grading 1.2% copper, 4.6% zinc, 0.2 g/t gold and 34 g/t silver, using an NSR cut-off of $80 per tonne (Technical Report prepared by Roscoe Postle Associates and filed by Cogitore Resources in 2011).

Recent interpretation work at Scott Lake led to the identification of a fault that seems to cut off the West Lens with an apparent left-handed displacement (to the south), and of a strong conductor located precisely where the West lens (764,000 tonnes grading 0.8% copper, 9.8% zinc, 0.2 g/t gold and 38 g/t silver) seems to have been displaced. This sector is centered between the West Lens and the deeper CFO Lens (377,000 tonnes grading 2.4% copper, 4.8 % zinc, 0.3 g/t gold and 43 g/t silver). In addition, this target area is significantly located where there is an important undrilled gap between the West and CFO lenses. The current drilling program will be specifically targeting the geophysical conductor in this sector. Considering that the best grades in the Scott deposit are located in the vicinity of the interpreted fault, Yorbeau management believes that this target could become a game changer for the project and for Yorbeau.

Work is carried out by the personnel of Yorbeau, under the supervision of Gérald Riverin, Ph D., P.Geo. He is a qualified person (as defined by National Instrument 43-101) and has more than 38 years of experience in mineral exploration.

Yorbeau initiates diamond drilling program on the Selbaie West property

Download PDF version   |   Views all documents on Sedar

Montréal, March 2, 2015 - Yorbeau Resources Inc.(TSX: YRB.A) (the “Company” or “Yorbeau”) is pleased to announce that drilling at the Selbaie West Property in northwestern Quebec started on February 27 with one drill rig. The first hole is already completed and the Company plans to drill 7 holes totalling 2,500 metres to test several geophysical and geological targets. The drill targets include following-up a silver discovery made by Cogitore in 2012 and which returned 174 g/t silver (over 5 ounces of silver per tonne) over a core length of 5.4 metres. Drilling at the Selbaie West Property is the first phase of the Company’s 2015 exploration program budgeted at $1.4 M and which will comprise 7,500 metres of diamond drilling in 4 projects.

The Selbaie West property is owned 100% by Yorbeau, subject to a back-in agreement with First Quantum Minerals Ltd (successor of Inmet Mining). It is located 8 kilometres west of BHP Billiton’s past producing Selbaie mine and covers 12 kilometres of strike length. The drill targets are located in the same volcanic rock stratigraphic package that hosted the Selbaie mine.

According to public files of the Quebec government, over 53 Million tonnes were mined at Selbaie (both from underground and open pit) over a 23 year mine life (1981-2004), which places this mine in the upper 5% of volcanic massive sulphide deposits (VMS) in terms of ore tonnage. Total metal production over that period amounted to 510,936 tonnes of copper; 1,011,227 tonnes of zinc; 992,477 ounces of gold and 69.7 million ounces of silver. Selbaie West is an exploration project with potential for copper, zinc, gold and silver.

Work is carried out by the personnel of Yorbeau, under the supervision of Gérald Riverin, Ph D, P.Geo. He is a qualified person (as defined by National Instrument 43-101) and has more than 38 years of experience in mineral exploration.

Download PDF version   |   Views all documents on Sedar

Montreal, February 2, 2015 - Yorbeau Resources Inc.(TSX: YRB.A) (“Yorbeau” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed the purchase and sale transaction with Cogitore Resources Inc. (“Cogitore”) previously announced on October 21, 2014. Pursuant to the transaction, the Company acquired substantially all of Cogitore’s exploration assets in consideration of the issuance of 25 million shares.

The exploration assets acquired by Yorbeau consist of seven (7) base metal exploration properties located in the highly prospective Abitibi Belt of Quebec and Ontario, and a core shack and office building located in Chibougamau. Acquisition of these assets, combined with the exploration properties acquired through the recent business combination with Cancor Mines Inc. (see press release of May 29, 2014) results in Yorbeau becoming a major owner of high quality base metal properties. The properties acquired from Cogitore include the Scott and Lemoine base metal projects in the Chibougamau region. Scott already hosts resources, prepared in compliance with NI 43-101, in the inferred category, of 5.4 million tonnes grading 1.2% copper, 4.6% zinc, 0.2 g/t gold and 34 g/t silver. Highly promising exploration targets ready to be drilled have recently been identified at Scott and opportunities for increasing the resources are considered excellent. The Lemoine project encloses the former producing Lemoine mine from which very high grade massive sulphides have been produced totaling 758,000 tonnes grading 4.2% copper, 9.6% zinc, 4.2 g/t gold and 83 g/t silver (source: Quebec government records). In northwestern Quebec, the projects include Selbaie West and Caribou. Selbaie West encloses the same volcanic package that hosts the former producing Selbaie Mine (53 Mt grading 1.0% Cu, 2.0% Zn, 0.6 g/t Au and 41 g/t Ag) (source: Quebec government records). Recent drilling by Cogitore at Selbaie West led to the discovery of a silver zone grading 174 g/t silver over a core length of 5.4 m with no follow-up ever done on it. The Caribou project is located to the east of Hecla’s Casa Berardi gold mine. It contains a massive sulphide discovery made by Cogitore in 2009 (Caribou discovery) and which yielded high grade massive sulphides over core lengths of up to 2.3 metres. Prospects for possible extensions of the Caribou massive sulphide zone at depth are considered excellent.

About Yorbeau Resources Inc.

The Company’s 100% controlled Rouyn Property contains four known gold deposits in the 6-km-long Augmitto-Astoria corridor situated on the western half of the property. Two of the four deposits, Astoria and Augmitto, have substantial underground infrastructure and have been the focus of NI 43-101 technical reports that include resource estimates. As a result of the transaction with Cogitore, Yorbeau now owns a portfolio of high grade volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) base metal exploration properties located in promising areas in the highly prospective Abitibi Belt of Quebec and Ontario.

More information on the Company may be found on the Company’s website at www.yorbeauresources.com. The raison d’être of Yorbeau is to identify a world class deposit in a major mining camp.
