Montréal, December 6, 2012- Yorbeau Resources Inc. ("Yorbeau") is pleased to provide the latest results from the drilling on the Lake Gamble Zone of its Rouyn Property. The drilling campaign has been ongoing since January 10, 2012 and will conclude in the coming days with drill holes 12-GA-600 and 12-GA-602. A total of 36 holes have been drilled and two wedges have been completed for approximately 14,415 metres of core on the Lake Gamble Zone. Five drill holes have been completed during the month of November, including hole 12-GA-593 which returned a grade of 3.7 g/t Au over 15 metres. The hole has extended the Lake Gamble Zone to the west at depth thereby increasing the mineralized envelope in this area (see the attached longitudinal).

The technical staff of Yorbeau is presently completing the logging and sampling of the mineralized intervals encountered in the last seven holes and continues to observe in all holes numerous specks of coarse gold as mentioned in the following table.

The purpose of the 2012 exploration program is to generate the data necessary to permit the preparation of resource estimates on the two targeted zones (Lake Gamble and Cinderella) compliant with NI 43-101. The new resources will be then added to the known resources on the Augmitto and Astoria Blocks for a global estimate of the ounces of gold contained on the Rouyn Property.

Highlights of the recent drilling include the following assay intervals:

12-GA-600 To be drilled
12-GA-601 Logging in progress Presence of visible gold, amount undetermined
12-GA-602 To be drilled

The locations of the holes are shown on the attached figure. Although true width of the mineralized zones cannot be established with accuracy given the large space in between holes, it is estimated that it may represent about 70% of core length.

The current program comprises a drilling pattern such that the piercing points of the various drill holes are located no more than 100 metres apart. This spacing should permit the estimation of resources in the inferred category under NI 43-101.

The qualified person under National Instrument 43-101 is Laurent Hallé, P.Geo., who has reviewed and approved the content of this release.
Samples are analyzed at ALS Chemex Laboratories in Val d'Or, Quebec. All samples are analyzed by standard fire assay. Samples returning more than 3 g/t are re-analyzed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Yorbeau has implemented a QA/QC program that consists of inserting blanks and gold standards in batch samples being sent to the assay laboratory. Selected pulp samples will also be re-analysed by a different laboratory.

Montreal, October 23, 2012 - Yorbeau Resources Inc. ("Yorbeau") is pleased to provide an update on its 2012 exploration program which is focused on the Lake Gamble Block of the Company's Rouyn property. A recent hole intersected two mineralized zones, respectively assaying 4.3 g/t gold over 13.0 metres and 35.0 g/t gold over 3.0 metres at a vertical depth of less than 200 metres.

The drilling campaign has been ongoing since January 10, 2012 with one drill rig in operation. Encouraging results at shallow depths prompted the Company to drill additional holes and a second drill rig has been mobilized to the property in order to accelerate completion of the program. To date 24 holes and two wedges between sections 7800 E and 8250 E have been completed for a total of about 10,000m. The Company anticipates drilling an additional 2,500m of NQ core and expects to complete the program around mid-December. The purpose of the program is to generate the data necessary to permit the preparation of a resource estimate on the Lake Gamble Block compliant with NI 43-101.

Highlights of the recent drilling include the following assay intervals:

Drill Hole From (m) To (m) Core Length (m) Au g/t Remarks

Another hole, GA-592, recently completed on the same section as hole GA-591 at a vertical depth of 600 metres intersected a mineralized zone with 17 specks of visible gold over a core length of 5.0 metres; assays are pending.

The locations of the holes are shown on the attached figure. Although true width of the mineralized zones cannot be established with accuracy given the large spacing between holes, it is estimated that it may represent about 70% of core length.

The current program includes definition and in-fill drilling so that the piercing points of the various drill holes are located no more than 100m apart. This spacing should permit the estimation of resources in the inferred category under NI 43-101.

"We continue to be impressed by the continuity and extent of the mineralization at Lac Gamble in spite of the sampling challenges caused by the ubiquitous presence of coarse visible gold which accounts for high variability in gold assays. We remain confident that we are working on a significant gold deposit that ultimately may have to be proved up by underground exploration" says President and CEO David Crevier.

Although true width of the mineralized zones cannot be established with accuracy given the large spacing between holes, it is estimated to be about 70% of core length.

Drilling data on the Lake Gamble Block comprised of 48 holes drilled since 2006 has identified a panel of mineralization which has a strike length of 400 m and which measures in excess of 400m on the vertical axis, starting at a depth of approximately 100m.The current program includes definition and in-fill drilling so that the piercing points of the various drill holes are located no more than 100m apart.This spacing should permit the estimation of resources in the inferred category under NI 43-101.

Gold mineralization appears to be abundant, but assays are erratic with coarse visible gold being observed in 35 of the 48 holes (72%) in the Lake Gamble area.The erratic nature of the gold mineralization presents certain challenges with respect to appropriate sampling and the Company is currently working on establishing an improved protocol for processing samples for assaying.Preliminary indications are that, using a conventional protocol at a commercial laboratory, assay results demonstrate a variability of more than 300%.

Recently the Company drilled hole 12-GA-579 which was originally intended to target the Piché Group at a depth of 650m.The expected deviation in the drill hole did not occur with the result that the hole pierced the target formation at a depth of more than 800 m.This hole, one of the deepest on the Rouyn property to date, encountered 14m of mineralization with 43 specks of visible gold being observed in the core.It was decided to do a wedge off this hole and the result was hole 12-GA-579-W1B which encountered a mineralized section 16m in width with 83 specks of visible gold being observed in the core.Although complete sampling of these holes is being delayed until the Company establishes the new protocol better suited for coarse gold as mentioned above, holes 12-GA-579 and 579-W1B demonstrate clearly that the deposit is open at depth.

"In spite of the sampling challenges that we are experiencing at Lac Gamble, we are excited with the results obtained at shallow depth where we can see a significant 400 metre strike length of apparently continuous gold mineralization at a 100 metre depth." says President and CEO David Crevier. "These results, combined with the wide intercept at depth in holes 12-GA-579 and 579-W1B, set the stage for future exciting developments at our Rouyn property" adds Mr. Crevier. Upon completion of the present drilling program, the Company is targeting the completion of NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates for both the Lac Gamble and Cinderella Blocks.These estimates are expected to be available in the first quarter of 2013.When added to the two previous resource estimates on the adjoining Augmitto and Astoria Blocks, the Company will be able to present continuous defined resources along a 6 km long corridor in the western portion of the property.

Assays referred to in this press release were obtained at ALS Chemex Laboratories in Val d'Or, Quebec. All samples are analyzed by standard fire assay.Samples returning more than 3 g/t are re-analyzed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish.Yorbeau has implemented a QA/QC program that consists of inserting blanks and gold standards in batch samples being sent to the assay laboratory.Selected pulp samples will also be re-analysed by a different laboratory.

Yorbeau Identifies Two New Exciting Exploration Targets at the Rouyn Property

Download PDF version   |   Views all documents on Sedar

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - April 18, 2012) - Yorbeau Resources Inc. (TSX:YRB.A)("Yorbeau") is pleased to report that its technical team has identified two new gold exploration targets at its Rouyn property.

The Company's drilling activities over the last five years have been focused on targets hosted by ultramafic rocks of the Piché Group, which led to the discovery of the Lake Gamble and Cinderella zones and to the preparation of a NI 43-101 resource estimate on the Augmitto target. While in-fill drilling continues at Lake Gamble in preparation for a forthcoming resource estimate later this year, field and compilation work on the rest of the property led to the recognition of promising new exploration targets in volcanic rocks of the Blake River Group. This work was in part initiated following the recent successes reported by Mines Richmont at the neighbouring Wasamac project where resources of 2.1 million ounces of gold have been identified in the measured and indicated categories.

Work by the Yorbeau technical team was focused on two main structures located to the north of the Augmitto-Astoria corridor. The two structures consist of envelopes of quartz-carbonate veins and disseminated pyrite hosted by various carbonatized and silicified volcanic units of the Blake River Group. Similar volcanic units of the Blake River Group also host Richmont's Wasamac mineralization. The location of the newly identified structures is shown on the attached Figure 1 (http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/yoreng-1.jpg) and highlights of the targets are presented below.

Durbar target

Based on mapping and review of drill core, the interpreted gold-bearing structure (the "Durbar structure") is at least six kilometres long and is parallel to the Lac Pelletier and Wasamac faults located respectively 1.2 km and 2.1 km to the north and which control Alexis Minerals' Lac Pelletier deposit and Richmont's Wasamac deposit. The Durbar structure hosts the Durbar gold deposit (historical resources of 56,000 ounces), several gold intersections in the northern portion of Yorbeau's Cinderella Block, and the historical Brochu gold showings.

Old trenches located within the structure (Rollin showings) were visited and sampled by Yorbeau's staff in late 2011. Grab samples of quartz veins from the rollin trenches returned up to 12.6 g/t Au and a series of channel samples were also taken to cover envelopes of quartz veinlets with assays returning up to 4.85 g/t Au over a width of 1.3 metres.

In previous press releases related to the Cinderella target drilling, the Company regularly reported highly anomalous gold values in Blake River volcanics located to the north of the main Augmitto-Astoria corridor. After recent interpretation and field work, these gold values are now considered part of the Durbar structure. Some of the more significant gold values, which have been reported in various press releases between 2006 and 2011, are tabulated below:

Drill Hole From (m) To (m) Core Length (m) Au g/t
09-CI-470 60.0 61.5 1.5 6.09
09-CI-478 51.5 53.5 2.0 2.80
09-CI-520 39.0 45.0 6.0 3.14
87.3 89.0 1.7 3.28
09-CI-541 68.1 68.8 0.7 3.20
09-CI-550 28.0 29.0 1.0 4.67
11-CI-553 33.0 34.0 1.0 2.95
37.0 38.0 1.0 2.13
42.0 43.0 1.0 9.68
48.0 51.0 3.0 10.43
11-CI-564 114.0 116.0 2.0 3.90

The true width of the mineralized zones cannot be established with accuracy given the large spacing between holes but it is likely less than the reported core length. In all cases, the mineralization consists of quartz-carbonate veining with traces of pyrite and common visible gold. The above holes are located over a strike length of approximately 800 metres and all intersected the gold bearing veins at very shallow depths (15 to 70 metres vertical) because the primary targets for the design of the holes were much deeper and the Durbar structure was only sporadically intersected as an added benefit whenever the holes happened to be collared far enough to the north. Given the potential importance of the Durbar structure, the Company intends to continue developing drill targets along it in the coming months, with drilling contemplated for later in the year or in 2013.

Wright Rouyn target

Yorbeau's staff also re-evaluated an old gold prospect referred to as the Wright Rouyn prospect located in the north central part of the Rouyn property and is immediately adjacent to the past producing Stadacona mine. It is also strategically located where numerous important structures meet together, including the Smokey Creek, Stadacona, Stadacona East and Lac Pelletier faults. The Wright Rouyn prospect has been subject to sporadic exploration programs dating back to the early 1930's and the latest work consisted of diamond drilling by Yorbeau in 1984.

As part of the evaluation of the Wright Rouyn target, Yorbeau staff dug out extensive unpublished data from its archives and also retrieved and re-examined the core from five drill holes that were drilled in 1984 and stored at the Company's work site. The data review showed that at least sixteen drill holes yielded significant gold assays over core lengths ranging up to 16 metres. Importantly, the old drilling only tested the mineralization at vertical depths shallower than 150-200 metres. Assay results from the sixteen holes, which have never been published, are tabulated in Appendix 1 attached herewith. The re-logging of five drill holes allowed confirmation of significant mineralized zones in each of the holes and led to key structural measurements which will help planning future follow-up drilling.

In order to validate the historical assaying, three holes were selected for re-sampling and assaying. The old split core from selected intervals was carefully quartered with a diamond saw and sent through the routine Yorbeau sampling and assaying protocols. The results of the recent re-assaying are tabulated below:

Hole from (m) to (m) length (m)   historical assay (g/t Au)   new sampling (g/t Au)
WR-84-22 342.0 349.0 7.0   7.69   12.04
WR-84-23 81.0 87.0 6.0   7.41   6.92
WR-84-30 100.0 112.0 12.0   10.96   15.18

The above check assaying is interpreted as having confirmed the historical assaying. Field and interpretation work is still on-going but it appears that the gold bearing quartz veins at Wright Rouyn are associated with at least two main faults, namely the Stadacona and Lac Pelletier faults.

In addition to on-going infill drilling at Lake Gamble, the Company will continue to evaluate both the Durbar and the Wright Rouyn targets in order to prepare a diamond drilling program for later in the year or in 2013. Work planned in early summer includes mechanical stripping, geological mapping and sampling of trenches and stripped areas.

Yorbeau's president and CEO David Crevier commented "We are extremely pleased with the recent results obtained by our technical staff and are looking forward to initiate further testing of these targets. We are confident that the work will add considerable value to Yorbeau's Rouyn property."

Yorbeau Provides Update on Lake Gamble Drilling at the Rouyn Property

Download PDF version   |   Views all documents on Sedar

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - March 5, 2012) - Yorbeau Resources Inc. ("Yorbeau") (TSX:YRB.A) is pleased to report progress on the drilling program at the Lake Gamble target on its Rouyn property.

A total of five holes have been completed to-date for a total of 1,965 metres. The program is designed to fill in large spaces in between existing drill holes on the Lake Gamble discovery with the objective of having a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate later in the year.

Assays have been received for three holes and are presented in the table below:

Drill Hole From (m) To (m) Core
Length (m)
Au g/t Host Rock Unit
12-GA-569 301.0 303.0 2.0 0.31 Piché Group, with traces of visible gold
365.0 366.0 1.0 1.26 Footwall Zone
12-GA-570 307.0 311.0 4.0 1.94 Piché Group, with traces of visible gold
12-GA-571 351.0 354.0 3.0 5.25 Piché Group, with several specks of visible gold

The mineralized zone consists of abundant quartz-carbonate veining, green mica (fuschite), brown tourmaline and traces of arsenopyrite. All three holes contain visible gold, including hole 571 which contains several small specks over a 5 metre core length. The locations of the holes are shown on the attached figure (http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/Longitudinal_0305.pdf). Although true width of the mineralized zones cannot be established with accuracy given the large spacing between holes, it is estimated that it may represent about 70-80% of core length.

Drilling is currently on-going with one drill rig. It is expected that this drilling will be completed by the end of September to be followed by a resource estimate on the Lake Gamble and Cinderella deposits.

Work is carried out by technical personnel of Yorbeau, under the supervision of Laurent Hallé, P.Geo. who has reviewed and approved the content of this release. He is a qualified person (as defined by National Instrument 43-101) and has more than 31 years of experience in mineral exploration.

Samples are analyzed at ALS Chemex Laboratories in Val d'Or, Quebec. All samples are analyzed by standard fire assay. Samples returning more than 3 g/t are re-analyzed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Given the visible gold in hole 12-GA-571, metallic sieve analysis was performed and is reported in the above table. Yorbeau has implemented a QA/QC program that consists of inserting blanks and gold standards in batch samples being sent to the assay laboratory. Selected pulp samples will also be re-analysed by a different laboratory. 

Upcoming Events

Technical staff of Yorbeau will be present at the 2012 PDAC in Toronto, Ontario. We will be showing recent drill core from the Lake Gamble drilling. We look forward to meeting you at this event:

Yorbeau Initiates 2012 Exploration Program

Download PDF version   |   Views all documents on Sedar

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--(Marketwire - Jan. 26, 2012) - Yorbeau Resources Inc. ("Yorbeau") (TSX:YRB.A) has initiated its 2012 drilling program with an initial focus on the Lake Gamble deposit located on the Company's Rouyn Property.

The objective of the current program is to conduct in-fill and definition drilling that will aid in the preparation of a resource estimate for the Cinderella and Lake Gamble discoveries compliant with NI 43-101. Drilling on the Cinderella deposit was completed in December and the 11,000m program planned on the Lake Gamble portion of the property was commenced in the second week of January. The Company currently anticipates completing the drilling program on the Lake Gamble deposit during the third quarter, and the resulting data will be incorporated into a NI 43-101 Technical Report for both the Cinderella and Lake Gamble deposits.

Funding for the program was provided by the Company's private placement in December which resulted in the Company raising gross proceeds of $2,440,625.

The Company's 100% controlled Rouyn Property contains four known gold deposits in the 6-km-long Augmitto-Astoria corridor situated on the western half of the property. Two of the four deposits, Astoria and Augmitto, have substantial underground infrastructure and have been the focus of NI 43-101 technical reports, the most recent being the report on Augmitto which was published in October of 2011 and which is available on SEDAR. Please refer to the news release of August 23, 2011 for details of the gold resources on Augmitto and Astoria.

The qualified person under National Instrument 43-101 is Laurent Hallé, P.Geo., who has reviewed and approved the content of this release.
