| ABSTRACT: | Calgary, Alberta: December 18, 2017 Voyageur Minerals Ltd. (TSXV-VM) (the “Company”). is pleased to announce the results of the Company’s 2017 drilling program. The Company completed 25 drill holes for a total of 1230.79m of drilling. 110 samples were tested from the core and surface outcrop. The main area of interest during the 2017 exploration program was the “B Zone” area of Frances Creek that is located at an elevation between 1500m and 1580m. This area consists of high grade barite that outcrops at surface and was outlined in detail with 19 drill holes across a proven strike of 130m. The zone has been well defined and consists of an average width of 17.49m with an arithmetic average grade of 38.73% BaSO4 with a specific gravity barite 4.5. The Francis Creek Barite mineralization occurs as a 2 phase breccia vein which was emplaced along a fault. The matrix of the breccia is crystalline barite; the breccia clasts are composed of dolomite and argillite country rock from the walls of the vein. The breccia matrix ranges from 19.36% to 68.88% crystalline barite throughout the explored portion of the vein. A total of 20 spot samples of the crystalline barite matrix rock were collected from select intervals of core from 10 holes drilled along the strike of the breccia vein. Analyses of these samples showed a range of 93.83 % to 99.68 % BaSO4, averaging at 97.10 % BaSO4. The specific gravity analyses of these samples ranged from 4.29 to 4.50 and averaged at 4.41 SG. | |
