Exploration update
Vantex has completed a MMI soil geochem survey over the Morriss and Hurd showings on the Galloway property. A strong bulleyes gold anomaly was detected over the Morriss showing and another one was detected about 600 metres to the north. Since the MMI geochem survey method seems to unveal buried gold deposits on the property, the company has decided to extend the survey on the project. On the Hurd showing, two generally north-south striking gold anomalies were outlined. One of them is related to the gold intersection in hole VDH-12-59 which intersected 2.68 g/t Au over 9.0 metres. The other gold anomaly remains to be tested by drilling.
