Brossard, Québec--(Newsfile Corp. - December 16, 2024) - Mines D'Or Orbec Inc. (TSXV: BLUE) (the "Company") announces that exploration has resumed at its 100%-owned Muus project near Chibougamau, Québec. This phase of work is focused on defining drill targets within the extension of the structure which hosts IAMGOLD Inc.'s multi-million-ounce Nelligan gold project, adjacent to Muus. The work will consist of a high-definition drone-platform magnetic survey conducted by Terrascope Inc. and will comprise approximately 2,558 line-kilometres covering the target area at 35-metre line spacing. The target area is shown on the map below. Other portions of the Muus project have historic close-spaced magnetic data, which will be merged with the new data. Terrascope Inc. has mobilized and begun the survey.

The Company's CEO Dorian L. (Dusty) Nicol commented, "The Company is excited by the exploration potential at the highly prospective, 100%-owned Muus gold project near Chibougamau, Québec. The target area was chosen because it is on the extension of the structure that hosts Nelligan, where it coincides with our spectacular gold-in-till geochemical anomalies, among the highest recorded in Québec. The target area was also chosen based on the historic drill data that we have compiled and built into a model with lithology and alteration during the last several months, and on our ongoing interpretation of structural geology within the Muus project. At Nelligan, high-definition magnetics were key in defining the structures that host gold mineralization. This guided the early drilling that led to the discovery. This magnetic survey will be completed early in the new year and will be an important contribution to our goal of defining high-quality drill targets on Muus."
