O3 Mining intersects 5.1 g/t Au over 5.1m near Marban's Norlartic Pit

O3 Mining Inc.  is providing new drilling results from the Marban project on its Malartic Property in the Val-d'Or region of Québec, as part of its 250,000 metre drilling program.

Drilling at Marban focuses on expanding mineralization outside of the proposed pit areas outlined in the Preliminary Economic Assessment ("Marban PEA") released on September 08, 2020. The 2021-2022 drilling program consists of 125,000 metres to test extensions of the deposits and zones outside the PEA pit areas. New drilling results from two drill holes include:

Drilling Highlights:

• 5.1 g/t Au over 5.1 metres including 13.1 g/t Au Over 0.5 metres and 15.2 g/t Au over 0.7 metres in hole O3MA-21-033-W1 at the North Shear zone 
• 2.7 g/t Au over 10.6 metres including 26.9 g/t Au Over 0.5 metres in hole O3MA-21-033 near surface in new Triple North zone

"The discovery of the new Triple North zone outside of the Norlartic pit shell continues to build our confidence in the potential to expand the mineable resources at Marban. With 125,000 metres of drilling planned for the Marban project, our drill program continues to grow, as does the potential for new discovery," said President and CEO José Vizquerra.

The intercepts released today in holes O3MA-21-033, O3MA-21-033-W1 and O3MA-21-039 are part of six drill holes completed earlier this year to test extensions at depth of the North North and North Shear zones, which are both proposed for open pit mining in the 2020 Marban PEA.  Assay results from four other drill holes in this area are pending. 

A total of 51 drill holes have been drilled at Marban since the beginning of the campaign in August 2020, focusing on the Kierens, Kierens NW, Gold Hawk, Orion, MK, North Shear, North North, and Marban NE zones. Assay results from 23 drill holes are pending.
