Vancouver, BC - TheNewswire - July 11, 2019 - Skarb Exploration Corp. ("Skarb" or the "Company") (CNSX:SKRB.CN) is pleased to announce that phase 1 of its field exploration program at the RDR gold project ("the Project") is to commence in late-July 2019. The exploration program is designed to delineate drill targets for gold and base metal mineralization on the property.

The RDR property is approximately 264km north-east of Val-d'Or in the province of Quebec and 10km south-east of the town of Waswanipi. Access to the RDR Gold Project is via Quebec Provincial Highway 113, which runs from Trans Canadian highway 117 near the hamlet of Louvicourt to Chibougamau.

Work Program

The 2019 proposed work program will involve field work on the property to further investigate the prospectivity for gold and base metal mineralization. The program will include mapping, prospecting and sampling. The intention of the program will be to verify the known mineralization and to investigate the property for further potential. The outcomes of the initial field work will support development of a longer-term exploration strategy and program of works for the RDR project going forward.

Geology

The Project area is located in the central region of the Abitibi greenstone belt, within the Superior province. The claims are centered on a north-east band of intermediate tuffs intermixed with sedimentary volcanic rocks, in contact with a large layered ultramafic complex. The complex is bound to the north by a series of mafic to intermediate volcanic rocks. The contact between the tuffs and the ultramafics is defined by the regional-scale Lamarck Fault.

The presence of three, large-scale deformation corridors on the Property are interpreted to be favorable structures for anomalous lode gold mineralization. The contacts between the ultramafic complex and the tuffs of the Obatogamau and Ruisseau Dalime are additional areas of potential mineralization, whilst the presence of felsic volcanics shows potential for VMS-style deposits. Known analogous deposit include Lac Shortt and Lac Bachelor, which in addition to the host gold deposits, both show associations with local intrusions and structures of varying orientation.
