Eleonore South is a three-way joint venture of Eastmain (36.7%), Azimut Exploration of Montreal (26.6%) and Newmont Goldcorp (36.7%). Recent drilling focused on the Cheechoo tonalite over a strike length of 1.3 km and southern and western extensions of gold mineralization along the Contact and Moni trends. The summer 2019 surface program that began in August includes a budget for follow-up drilling this month. The best assays came from in three holes drilled in the Contact trend:

• Hole ES19-156: 7.44 g/t gold over 9.7 metres, including 63.2 g/t over 0.8 metres;
• Hole ES19-157: 1.02 g/t gold over 92.0 metres, including 7.36 g/t over 8.2 metres; and
• Hole ES19-157: 0.54 g/t gold over 20.4 metres.

Two high grade assays from the Central tonalite (between the Moni and Contact trends) are notable:

• Hole ES18-143: 8.12 g/t gold over 1.5 metre; and
• Hole ES19-147: 16.7 g/t gold over 1.5 metre.
