Generic Gold Corp. shared the results from its recently conducted B-Horizon soil sampling program on its 100% owned Belvais Project ("Belvais" or the "Project") in Québec. Soil samples returned multiple gold, silver, copper and zinc anomalies. Belvais lies directly south- east of Amex Exploration's Perron Project, which recently announced a new high-grade gold discovery along the Normétal Fault on their Perron Project. This is of particular significance for Generic Gold, as the Company holds over 20 km of the Normétal Fault on its Belvais claims and is one of the largest land holders in the area with 12,563 hectares. The B-horizon soil sampling program was completed to assist with drill target generation. During the 16-day soil sampling campaign completed in December 2020, 369 samples were taken, spread out across the four blocks of Belvais, with line spacings between 900-1,000 metres apart and sample stations every 150 metres. Generic Gold engaged a consulting geologist specialising in glacial till geology and movements to plan the program and analyse results. With the obtained gold results and knowledge of local glacial dispersion, the consultant has generated up-ice targets from which anomalous gold values may be derived. The Company also recently completed an airborne VTEM geophysical survey across all its Belvais blocks to identify structures and conductive bodies which may aid in discovering important smaller splay faults off the larger Normétal thrust. Results from this survey are expected over the coming weeks. This is the final data input prior to selecting key targets for the drilling campaign expected to be launched in the coming months.
