Calgary, Alberta / TheNewswire / September 27 2016 - Margaux Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MRL) ("Margaux" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has successfully identified high-grade Zinc-Lead and Silver during its ongoing 2016 surface prospecting program on its Jersey-Emerald Property, in British Columbia.
The Company identified samples which included 26.20% lead with 7.91% zinc and 646 g/t silver and 12.75% lead with 11.60% zinc and 228 g/t silver. All samples were taken from areas beyond the historic working area, extending the Company's interest beyond the historic mine workings. Margaux is extremely encouraged by these results which continue to expand the potential of the Jersey-Emerald Property.
Key results obtained from the ongoing prospecting program are presented below (see map and table).

Note: The reader is cautioned that these assays represent prospecting samples and may not be representative of the grade or width of the mineralization. There is presently insufficient data with respect to the size and extent of the mineralization to determine its significance.
Gossan zone (samples P253-1,2, MRL 11-1, 2, 3): The old gossan zones at Jersey-Emerald mine have great potential to discover additional lead-zinc ore. The mapped limonite outcrop (P253) is about 45 meters by 25 meters.
Iron Mountain (sample P126): An East-West trending, subvertical, narrow lead-zinc-silver mineralization is identified in limestone at the top of Iron Mountain. The East-West trending fault cuts bedding of limestone and has similar trending to gold-bearing quartz veins in the region which is of geological significance.
Nevada Mountain (sample P195-1): Zinc-tungsten mineralization is discovered at Nevada Mountain, where limestone, argillite and skarn is observed, East of the Jersey-Emerald mine. There is a strong magnetic anomaly at Nevada Mountain; the mineralization could be related to the magnetic anomaly.
Tungsten King I (sample P157-1): Identified an old mineral occurrence with high grade lead-zinc-silver mineralization. The mineralization is fracture controlled and warrants further exploration.
Margaux retained the services of Victor Zhao and Chaoxian Zhou from Continental Geology & Mining Consulting Inc. ("CGMC") to conduct field work on the Jersey-Emerald property from July 11 to 25, 2016. As part of their work with the Company, Dr. Zhao collected the grab samples discussed in this press release.
