Temex Launches Field Exploration Program on the Juby Gold Project, Ontario
TORONTO, June 14, 2012 /CNW/ - Temex Resources Corp. (TSXV: TME) (FWB: TQ1) ("Temex" or "the Company") announces that a field exploration program is underway on the Juby Gold Project. The Project is located in Tyrrell Township in northeastern Ontario, 100 kilometres south of Timmins, Canada's largest gold camp, and is situated along the southwestern extension of the Larder Lake - Cadillac Fault Zone between AuRico's Young Davidson deposit and Trelawney's Cote Lake deposit.
The surface program is focusing on the Juby Joint Venture Property ("Juby JV") and Golden Lake Property ("Golden Lake") both of which are contiguous to the 100% owned Juby Lease Property ("Juby Lease") host to the Juby Main Zone. Temex owns a 60% interest in the Juby JV and has the option to earn a 100% interest in Golden Lake (news release January 18, 2012).
The Juby Main Zone contains a National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101") compliant gold resource (news releases January 16 and February 28, 2012) of 22.3 million tonnes at a grade of 1.30 g/t gold for 934,645 ounces of gold in the Indicated category and 28.2 million tonnes at a grade of 1.00 g/t gold for 905,621 ounces of gold in the Inferred category, both at a cut-off grade of 0.40 g/t gold.
The program will consist of geological mapping, prospecting, soil sampling and geophysics and will follow-up on several new gold zones discovered late in 2011 (news release November 24, 2011) on the Juby JV as well as other priority targets. The new gold zones were discovered by soil sampling and prospecting and occur 1.5 kilometres southwest of the Juby Main Zone. These as well as the other priority targets represent potential satellite gold deposits proximal to the Juby Main Zone.
Soil sampling returned values ranging from 28 ppb gold to 1,747 ppb gold (1.7 g/t gold) defining an open ended trend with a minimum strike length of 1.5 kilometres and width of 0.5 kilometres in an area of virtually no previous exploration. These are the strongest gold in soil anomalies detected to date on the Juby Gold Project.
Limited follow-up prospecting discovered several gold-in-bedrock occurrences within this trend over an area approximately 250 metres long by 50 metres wide with individual grab samples assaying 0.59 g/t gold up to 8.26 g/t gold. Significantly, the gold mineralization is hosted by rock sequences typical of the Juby Main Zone including highly altered feldspar porphyry and sedimentary rocks that exhibit iron carbonate alteration and minor amounts of pyrite.
On Golden Lake, a program of soil sampling, prospecting and geological mapping was initiated in late May. Golden Lake is contiguous along strike to the west of Juby Main Zone providing Temex with immediate opportunity to expand the Main Zone to the west and a program of 8 holes totaling 3,255 metres was recently completed with analytical results pending.
Karen Rees, P.Geo., Vice President, Exploration of Temex Resources Corp., is the designated qualified person responsible for the preparation of the above portion of this news release.
