History
Located just 90 km from downtown Montreal but 15 km away from the nearest town center, the Kremer Project spans a region highly favorable for mineral exploration, with strong potential for critical resources such as nickel, copper, and cobalt.
The drilled zone and the 8 km-long conductive anomaly lies at the junction of the Morin anorthosite and the metasedimentary rocks. Very likely of magmatic origin, this system has all of the characteristics necessary for generating a significant amount of sulfides rich in nickel, copper, and cobalt.
In 2022, a helicopter-borne TDEM (Time Domain Electromagnetic) survey identified promising electromagnetic anomalies. Ground follow-up confirmed this potential, leading to the registration of 223 mining claims with Quebec’s Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests (MRNF). Among the key discoveries was a significant gravitational and electromagnetic anomaly stretching 8 km in the northwestern part of the property.
2023 Advances: Exploration and Discoveries
During the fall of 2023, efforts focused on drilling high-priority targets identified through the TDEM survey and intensive prospecting work.
- 22 drill holes were completed, totaling 4,200 meters.
- 9 drill holes (approximately 40%) intersected massive and semi-massive sulfides rich in nickel, copper, and cobalt.
- 420 samples were analyzed in the laboratory (see the summary table of the campaign’s top results.)
2024: Innovative Techniques and New Discoveries
- Ground-based TDEM surveys: Enhanced accuracy of conductors identified during helicopter surveys.
- Borehole TDEM surveys: Mapped the geometry of conductive sulfide zones.
- Drone magnetic surveys: Provided detailed mapping of local geology.
- Ground gravimetric surveys: Identified dense geological bodies such as massive sulfide lenses or mafic to ultramafic units favorable for nickel, copper, and cobalt mineralization.
3D interpretation and modeling of these surveys are underway. A preliminary discovery map highlights:
- Density variations (color-coded according to gravimetric data).
- Black lines marking conductors identified through electromagnetic surveys.
- White-bordered points indicating the locations of 22 drill holes.
- Black points showing surface samples analyzed in the laboratory.
Two new mineral-rich zones have been identified:
- Northwest Zone:
- Drilling has already taken place.
- Surface mineralization is exposed every 25 to 50 meters along approximately 700 meters.
- Two trenches excavated to a depth of 1 meter.
- Southeast Zone:
- Previously unexplored.
- New mineralization indices rich in nickel, copper, and cobalt found up to 7 km from the current drilling zone.
2025: Perspectives and Strategies
To date, exploration has covered only part of an 8-km favorable zone. The 2024 advancements identified:
- A major gravimetric anomaly in the central portion of the favorable sector.
- Two significant electromagnetic axes along the 8-km favorable zone.
- 30 high-priority drilling targets.
Our focus now shifts to the central part of the mineralized zone, where magnetic, gravimetric, and electromagnetic anomalies overlap. These anomalies suggest the presence of a significant mafic intrusion buried at shallow depth. This next drilling phase will allow us to better understand the mineralization and its extent.
CONCLUSION
The Kremer Project stands out as a promising initiative in the exploration of critical resources in Quebec. Exploration efforts will continue in 2025 in a structured, orderly, and responsible manner to accurately evaluate the property’s potential.
