TEMEX INTERSECTS BONANZA GOLD GRADES OF 36.20 G/T GOLD OVER 4.85 METRES WITHIN 23.82 G/T GOLD OVER 7.70 METRES NEAR SURFACE ON WHITNEY PROJECT, TIMMINS, ONTARIO
Temex Resources Corp. has provided assay results from the surface diamond drilling campaign on the Whitney project located in Timmins, Ont. The drill program, which resumed in March, is being conducted in the past-producing Upper Hallnor mine area and is targeting additional high-grade gold resources in the Upper Hallnor and Bonetal areas, the expansion of current in-pit gold resources, as well as follow-up drilling of a significant new gold discovery reported earlier this year.

Drill core samples are cut at Temex facilities using a diamond saw with the samples transported by Temex personnel in securely sealed bags to a bonded freighting company and from there directly to facilities operated by SGS Canada in Sudbury and Mississauga, Ont., for preparation and analysis. Core samples are analyzed for gold using fire assay on a 30-gram split with an ICP finish. Where initial results exceed three g/t gold, a second assay is completed on another 30-gram split using fire assay with a gravimetric finish. As part of in-house QA/QC SGS Canada inserted certified gold standards, blanks and pulp duplicate samples. Random additional repeats are also analyzed as required. Results from all internal QC samples and repeats are reported. Intervals reported are core lengths. True widths are unknown at this time.
