Ground Geophysics Identifies Drill Targets at Perron Eastern Gold Zone
MONTREAL, Sept. 05, 2018 - Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (“Amex” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce that an IP geophysical ground survey has just been completed at the 100% owned Perron Property located in Abitibi, Quebec. This survey covers approximately 2 km2 of the recently identified Eastern Gold Zone (See PR-2018-03-01) using a 100 to 200 meter spacing grid totalling 16.3 km of cut lines (see fig.1). The survey was done by Abitibi Geophysique Inc. using their proprietary technology "OreVisionIP". Results of this survey will be integrated into the 3D model that Innovexplo and Amex has created for the next drilling targets at the Eastern Gold Zone as well as its potential lateral extensions and other similar gold bearing structures. A follow-up drill program is being prepared with the support of the updated 3D model that should help to better define the geometric and genetic relationship of this new Eastern Gold Zone.

The Eastern Gold Zone was identified during the last drilling program at Perron with holes PE-2017-01A and PE-2017-03 combined with historic holes PE-1997-35 and PE-2013-04 (see table 1 and 2). This gold bearing structure can be followed over a strike length of at least 200 meters from near surface down to a vertical depth of at least 450 meters within an envelope that varies from about 20 meters to more than 50 meters of width that have returned drilled intersect of up to 7.89 g/t Au over 7.5 meters (see fig.2 and 3).
