says a new copper target west of its B26 polymetallic deposit in northern Quebec shows potential for expanding the project.
Drill hole 274-24-336 cut 19.7 metres grading 1.07% copper, 0.4 gram gold per tonne and 4.5 grams silver from 216.2 metres depth, Abitibi said in a release. Drill hole 274-24-337 returned 26.9 metres at 0.06% copper, 0.01 gram gold and 48.5 grams silver from 44.5 metres down hole. Satellite West shows siliceous material reaching 100 metres in width that is related to volcanogenic massive sulphide activity and is a proximity indicator for a copper-gold mineralized system similar to B26, Abitibi said. It plans geophysics exploration to evaluate the area’s potential and see if the system extends farther west and northwest.
B26 holds 7 million indicated tonnes grading 2.9% copper-equivalent ; and 4.4 million inferred tonnes at 3% copper-equivalent , according to a 2018 resource estimate by Soquem.

Some Lunchables and Similar Kits Found to Have Potentially Concerning Levels of Heavy Metals and PhthalatesA recent study has found that some lunch and snack kits, including popular brands like Lunchables, contain high levels of heavy metals and phthalates, which could be potentially harmful. The study tested 12 different kits primarily consumed by children, all of which tested positive for lead, cadmium, or both. Additionally, most kits tested positive for at least one type of phthalate. Two types of Lunchables made for the National School Lunch Program were found to have even higher levels of sodium than those sold in grocery stores.
