QC Copper and Gold (TSXV: QCCU) is receiving promising assays from drilling on its flagship Opemiska copper-gold project at Chapais, Quebec. The property contains the former producing Springer, Perry, Robitaille and Cooke mines.
Highlighted intervals include 64 metres of 0.54% copper equivalent (OPM-21-38), 28.5 metres of 0.54% copper equivalent (OPM-21-81, beginning 3 metres downhole), and 23 metres of 1.58% copper equivalent (OPM-21-83) from the Mill zone, an area underlying the old mill operated by Falconbridge between 1953 and 1991.
