Windfall Geotek has identified high priority gold exploration targets on Quebec Precious Metals’ (QPM) Sakami gold mine using its CARDS Artificial Intelligence (AI) software, as part of a contract worth C$125,000 ($93,618).

Located in the James Bay area of Quebec, the gold mine covers an area of 131km2. It lies 90km northwest of the Newmont Corporation’s Éléonore gold mine.

Windfall Geotek president and CEO Michel Fontaine said: “The AI approach combines geological expertise, all available terrane and geophysical data and uses proven algorithms to predict the location of highly ranked exploration targets.

“It validates the target areas where QPM is currently performing a 25,000m drilling campaign.”

The gold mine lies within the central part of the Superior Geological Province. It is 23km along the contact between sediments and volcanics between La Grande and Opinaca sub-provinces.
