Alcudia Project, Quebec
Highlights
- Immediately east of Noront's Windfall Property where underground exploration is in progress
- Several geophysical (EM and IP) anomalies but no previous drilling
Location and Access
- Urban Township, approximately 380 km northeast of Val d'Or
- Access from Val d'Or is by Provincial Highways 117 and 113 to the Town of Lebel-sur-Quevillon and then by major forestry access roads to within 1.5 km of the property and then by secondary logging roads to the property
Geology
- Archean age Urban-Barry Greenstone Belt in Abitibi sub-province, including mafic and intermediate volcanic and fragmental rocks
- Alteration of sheared rocks includes sericite, chlorite, carbonate, pyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite
- Gold is associated with sulphides along a northeast trending shear zone on the adjoining Windfall Property operated by Noront Resources Ltd

History
First significant work on the property was completed by Alto in 1997 and consisted of line cutting, ground magnetometer and IP/Chargeability survey. Prospecting and mapping programs were carried out in 2003 and 2004 and mechanical trenching in 2006.
The property is swampy and outcrop exposures are few, therefore the best exploration tools are ground geophysics followed by diamond drilling. The geophysical surveys completed by Alto have delineated several northeast and northwest trending structures that require drill testing.
2008 Exploration Programs
Future work on this project is based in part on the results obtained from the underground exploration that is in progress on the adjoining Windfall Property operated by Noront Resources Ltd.
