Canamex Acquires Additional Patented Claim (Private Land) and Provides Drilling Update at Bruner Gold Project, Nye County, Nevada
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Mar 24, 2014) - Canamex Resources Corp.. (TSX VENTURE:CSQ)(OTCQX:CNMXF)(FRANKFURT:CX6) (the "Company") is pleased to announce it has closed on the purchase of an additional 20-acre patented mining claim (private land) at the Bruner gold project located in Nye County, Nevada.
Elk Lode Patent
The 20-acre Elk Lode patented claim was purchased to complement the patented and unpatented land covered in the option to purchase agreement under which the Company is earning its interest at Bruner (see Canamex News Release dated October 15, 2010). The Elk Lode claim was identified during a due diligence land search and lies nearly adjacent to the existing patented land package at the property. Altogether the patented (private) land position totals approximately 500 acres, and includes the historic resource area* where drilling is currently underway to provide sufficient modern drill hole data to allow preparation of a maiden NI 43-101 report on the gold mineralization contained therein.
Engineering Studies
The Company has commenced engineering studies on portions of the patented claim group. Once sufficient drilling of the historic resource area is completed to allow preparation of a maiden NI 43-101 report, the Company will be in a position to address permitting the project for development. Doing the engineering studies in parallel with completing drilling of the historic resource area may shorten the timeframe to development, should a decision be made to advance the project to the development stage.
Drilling Update
The first core hole (B-1401C) at the historic resource area has been completed and delivered to ALS Minerals in Reno, Nevada for photographing, sawing, sampling and analyses. Results will be reported after they have been received and analyzed. Drilling of the planned 53 hole program (see Canamex News Release dated March 7, 2014) is proceeding on a two-week on, one-week off schedule.
President & COO Comments
"We are pleased to have concluded the purchase of the Elk Patent, which we have been pursuing for over six months, as it offers the Company more flexibility as it contemplates how best to develop the property down the road," said Greg Hahn, President and COO. "We have initiated engineering studies on the Bruner property in parallel with drilling of the gold mineralization, in order to be in a position to advance the project rapidly in the event our drilling continues to be successful and financial markets and gold prices are favorable," concluded Hahn.
Greg Hahn, Certified Professional Geologist (#7122) is the Qualified Person who has prepared and reviewed this press release in accordance with NI 43-101 reporting standards.
*The historic resource area refers to an area on the Bruner property that was the subject of a historical resource estimate reported on the property not in compliance with NI 43-101 standards. A qualified person (within the meaning of NI 43-101) has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resource or mineral reserves, and the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. The historical estimate is relevant solely for purposes of directing target areas for the Company's current exploration programs.
