Robex Starts Diamond Drilling Campaign in Nampala
QUEBEC CITY, QUEBEC -- (Marketwire) -- 03/23/11 -- Robex Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: RBX) (FRANKFURT: RB4) announces that it will be starting a diamond drilling campaign on the Mininko permit at Nampala. In all, 12 surveys will be conducted, eight of which in the oxidized portion of the deposit, to be combined with the results obtained earlier from reverse circulation (RC) holes and which will be used to calculate the slope needed to design the mine's plan. Four other surveys totalling 1,200 metres will be conducted under the oxidized portion to estimate its mineralisation. These holes, aimed at increasing the deposit's resource, will be added to those obtained during previous campaigns and included in the new resource calculation.
Recalling that Bumigeme Inc., a Canadian company with a vast experience in the development of dressing procedures and mineral plants operation, has been awarded the contract for performing the Nampala project feasibility study whose purpose is to define the application modalities of an open-pit mining operation using a 5,000 tons a day cyanide processing plant. The engineering firm Met-Chem has been hired to develop the mine plan for this Feasibility study, as announced in the March 2nd, 2011 press release.
Robex is also:
-the N'Golopene permit, located directly on the extension of the gold anomaly at the Syama mine (gold producing property owned by Resolute Mining Ltd., which contains over 6 million ounces of gold and produced 77,926 ounces in 2010);
-the Diangounte permit, located only a few kilometres from the Sadiola and Yatela mines (property owned by IAMGOLD and AngloGold Ashanti, which contains 8.5 million ounces of gold and produced 178,000 ounces in 2010);
-the Wili-Wili and Wili-Wili West permits, characterised by a large gold-bearing dispersion 2.8 km by 600 m wide and immediately adjacent to the Siribaya project owned by IAMGOLD and Merrex;
-the Sanoula permit, surrounded by Golden Rim permits, with which discussions are under way concerning an eventual joint venture;
-the Kolomba permit, which produced good results in earlier campaigns and is currently overrun with artisanal gold panners.
In addition, Robex has two drilling machines which render the company independent in conducting its drilling campaigns. Robex also has the advantage of an experienced team, which has just completed 73 surveys at Nampala.
