TORONTO, March 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Petrolympic Ltd. (TSX.V: PCQ) (OTC: PCQRF) (the “Company”) is pleased to announce that the Company will commence a drilling campaign, with an initial minimum of approximately 1,000 meters, to test structural features coinciding with the IP resistivity axes and gold mineralization extensions previously drilled on its 100% controlled Belcourt property in Abitibi, Quebec.

The property consists of 125 map-designated claims divided into four blocks (Belcourt North, South, Center and West Blocks), all close to each other and covering a total of 5,479 hectares (54.79 sq km, 13,539 acres). ) in the regions of Barraute, Carpentier, Townships of Courville and Fiedmont in Abitibi. The property is accessible year-round by route 386 and a network of secondary roads and trails.
The Belcourt property is located in the volcanic belt of the Landrienne Formation and lies on the important NW-SE deformation corridor of Uniacke which contains several mineralized zones such as Héva-Cadillac, Glasnost, Jolin, the Thibodeau zone (Pershing- Manitou) and the Eastville showings. .

Initial drilling will validate and test extensions of previously drilled gold mineralization recognized by Placer Dome. Mineralization was recognized as being hosted in quartz-carbonate-pyrite veins at the contact of porphyry basalt and gabbro revealing an intersection of 6.96 g/t Au over 2.17 meters (including 38.5 g/t Au over 0.43 m). The technical team will also work to better understand the controls of mineralization and host structures in relation to the main geophysical axes coinciding with associated structures and vein corridors.
In addition, the property is located in a very favorable metallogenic environment hosting several gold-bearing mineralized structures, mineralized occurrences and mines within a few kilometers of the property limits and includes the following elements:
