Alix Resources and Caribou Copper Resources Receive Positive Rock Assays at Corky

29.07.2011  |  Marketwire
VANCOUVER, July 29, 2011 - Alix Resources Corp. (“Alix“) (TSX VENTURE: AIX) (FRANKFURT: 37N) and Caribou Copper Resources Ltd. (“Caribou“) (TSX VENTURE: CKR) are pleased to announce positive assays from rock samples collected on the Corky Property, located 125 kilometers northwest of Haines Junction in the Whitehorse Mining District of Yukon. Assay results confirm the presence of copper mineralization both visually and from preliminary assay results. Complete assays with up to 2.14 wt.% Cu and 2.14 g/t Au have now been received.

The 750 hectare Corky Property hosts a copper-molybdenum-gold porphyry system positioned within the Kluane Range of southwestern Yukon, along the northeast edge of the Wrangellia Terrane. Geology consists largely of late Paleozoic and upper Triassic volcano-sedimentary rocks intruded by early Cretaceous and Oligocene diorite to quartz monzonite, with the convergence of contacts between these units occurring over the east central portion of the property. The bulk of sampling and majority of anomalous results occur over this east central portion, which covers roughly 159 hectares.

Exploration is being conducted on behalf of the joint venture by UTM Exploration Services Ltd. (Smithers, B.C.). A total of 68 composite grab samples of each lithology in outcrop weighing from 0.42 to 2.96 kilograms were collected, as were seven composite grab float samples (0.9-1.58 kg) and five soil samples where outcrop was not available. Samples were delivered to AGAT Laboratories (Burnaby, B.C.) and analyzed for base metals using an aqua regia ICP-MS (201074) or aqua regia AAS protocol (201075), and for gold using a fire assay ICP-OES protocol (202055). Blanks and standards were run concurrently with the samples. Results for some of the better outcrop samples are shown in the table below.

Outcrop samples from the Corky Project with Cu>300 ppm. Values are in parts per million (ppm) unless otherwise noted.

Limits of detection (LOD) are as follows: Cu, Pb = 0.1 ppm; Zn - 0.5 ppm; Cu wt.% = 0.02 wt.%; Au, Ag = 0.01 ppm.

The outcrop results are coincident an anomalous area generated through soil geochemical sampling conducted in 2008 by Strategic Metals Ltd. A helicopter-borne magnetic survey conducted by Strategic Metals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: SMD) in 2010 also generated anomalies that are roughly coincident with the geochemical results. Both the historical and new geochemical data are the basis for the 2011 drilling program that is presently underway at Corky.

Alix obtained the Corky property as part of a five-property Yukon portfolio from Strategic Metals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: SMD) in an option agreement whereby Alix can obtain 100% of the five properties by issuing 9.9% of its outstanding share capital to Strategic and making cumulative cash payments totaling $3,000,000 over a four-year period (see Alix News Release January 31, 2011). In May 2011, Caribou entered into an agreement with Alix whereby 49% interest in the five properties can be obtained by issuing 500,000 common shares and spending $600,000 on the properties over two years (see Caribou News Release May 11th, 2011). Caribou also shares its proportionate amount of the underlying agreement with Strategic Metals Ltd. on these five properties.
