VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 11, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pasinex Resources Ltd. ("Pasinex") (the "Company") (CSE:PSE) (FSE:PNX) is pleased to announce the sale of up to 5,000 tonnes of high-grade zinc mineralized material from its Pinargozu mine for an expected value to be well over US $1 million.
Mr. Steve Williams, President and CEO said: "We have been mining now for nearly six months at our Pinargozu zinc mine and have produced about 5,000 tonnes of material grading about +30% Zn. The sale of our mined product is a significant step forward for the Company and it indicates the important potential presented to us by the Pinargozu project and the Horzum AS joint venture. I now look forward to moving ahead to our next important milestones which are to start to build a resource at Pinargozu and, in 2015, to further expand mine production there."
The Pinargozu mine is a 50/50 joint venture, called Horzum AS, with Turkish mining company Akmetal AS ("Akmetal"). The sale of the high-grade zinc material is made by the joint venture to Akmetal, who in turn sell the material, together with other zinc products, to third parties.
Proceeds from the sale will be used to fund ongoing exploration and mining at Pinargozu and general costs for Pasinex Turkey operations.
