Yorbeau Resources Inc. announced that the 2014 exploration program is now underway at the Rouyn project with one drill rig operating on the Augmitto block. A second rig will be added shortly. The current program is being undertaken pursuant to the option and joint venture agreement entered into between Gold Fields Sudbury Exploration Corp.

and the company announced in May 2013 and represents the balance of a $4 million exploration commitment made by Gold Fields Sudbury representing the required expenditure for the first 18 months. This is part of the $19 million over 4.5 year commitment required to earn a 51% JV interest in the project. The program, which is being carried out by Gold Fields Sudbury Exploration Corp., will consist mostly of surface diamond drilling and completion of a high resolution magnetic survey initiated in 2013.

The exploration program is budgeted at $2.2 million and will consist of approximately 14,000 metres, mostly targeting either the extension at depth of known gold mineralization or potential new zones in the eastern half of the property. The drilling for extension at depth of known mineralization will be focused on the Augmitto, Gamble Lake and Astoria blocks. More specifically, additional follow-up drilling will be done at Gamble Lake to further define a new sector developing at depth in the west boundary of the Gamble Lake zone.

This is where hole 12-GA-593 had intersected 3.7 g/t Au over a core length of 15 metres and where recent drilling by Gold Fields returned 6.03 g/t Au over 11.3 metres. A number of targets will also be tested at shallow depth in the eastern half of the property, which still remains largely underexplored in spite of the presence of the Cadillac Larder Lake Break (CLLB) and favorable host rocks as well as gold intercepts in historical shallow drilling. In particular, a sector where the CLLB is cross-cut by the northwest trending Smokey Creek fault is considered to be an area with high potential.
