Canadian Royalties Inc.: Exploration Update/MegaTEM� Survey Underway
MONTREAL, QUEBEC -- June 21, 2007 - Canadian Royalties Inc. (TSX: CZZ) announces that a property-wide airborne electromagnetic survey using the advanced MegaTEM� system is currently underway. The survey is provided by Fugro Airborne Surveys, and is anticipated to be completed prior to the start of the 2007 exploration program.
Exploration crews will mobilize to the site on June 30th, where two new drills have been delivered recently. The two new drills have significant depth capacity and will be used to test targets unattainable previously. A minimum of 15,000 metres of drilling will be executed, with a significant portion of the drilling allocated to testing newly generated MegaTEM� anomalies.
The exploration program is designed to explore for new resources having the greatest potential to impact the project while at the same time supporting mine development activities. The principle objectives of the program are as follows:
- Prospect, map and drill test anomalies generated by MegaTEM� and other geophysical surveys.
- Drill test conceptual geological targets.
- Infill drilling to confirm and add to reserves within specific mining envelopes.
- Drill test for deeper deposit extensions.
- Test peripheral geophysical targets that could affect current mine planning.
- Condemnation drilling at proposed infrastructure sites.
