Temex Achieves up to 98% Gold Recovery in Metallurgical Testwork on High Grade Whitney Project, Timmins Gold Camp
TORONTO, June 13, 2013 /CNW/ - Temex Resources Corp. (TSX-V: TME, FWB: TQ1) ("Temex" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has made the regulatory filing of the report entitled "Updated Resource Estimate for the Juby Gold Project, Tyrrell Township, Shining Tree Area, Ontario", further to the news release dated April 29, 2013 announcing the updated resource estimate. The report, dated June 11, 2013 was authored by GeoVector Management Inc. of Ottawa, Ontario in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101").
The Juby Gold Project is located in northeastern Ontario in the Timmins-Kirkland Lake mining camps, 45 kilometres southwest of AuRico Gold's Young-Davidson mine and 60 kilometres east of IAMGOLD's Côté Gold project.
The project includes the 100%-owned Juby Property, the adjacent Golden Lake Property and the expanded land position which was incorporated under a major land consolidation purchase agreement in November 2012 (news releases November 15 and 23, 2012) which increased the Company's land holdings ten-fold to 14,423 acres.
As a result of the expanded land position, Temex now controls a 10 kilometre strike length of the Tyrrell Structural Zone ("TSZ") along which are located the Juby Main Zone gold deposit on the Juby Lease Property, its extension onto the Golden Lake Property, and numerous gold occurrences including those known as Big Dome and Hydro Creek on ground formerly held by Goldeye Explorations Limited ("Goldeye").
The updated resource incorporates diamond drilling by Temex testing a strike length of 3.5 kilometres of the 10 kilometre TSZ. The resource remains wide open along strike with the four last holes drilled at the western limit of the resource each cutting multiple intervals of typical Juby Main Zone gold mineralization highlighted by drill hole GL13-23, the westernmost hole of the deposit which returned 1.52 g/t gold over 45.15 metres, including 2.30 g/t gold over 22.25 metres starting at 73.85 metres down-hole.
On the newly acquired ground to the west, Goldeye previously reported significant drill intersections including 217 g/t gold over 2 metres, 13.10 g/t gold over 3.00 metres and 80.7 g/t gold over 2 metres on Big Dome and 5.89 g/t gold over 12.50 metres, 3.58 g/t gold over 20.20 metres and 4.28 g/t gold over 14.00 metres on Hydro Creek. These zones are located 4 and 5 kilometres directly on strike along the TSZ west of the Juby Main Zone NI 43-101 gold resources and there is no drilling along the TSZ between the areas.
Drilling to further expand the deposit along TSZ trend to the west and to test some of the numerous priority drill targets throughout the expanded land holdings, is being planned in conjunction with an on-going field program consisting of core logging, sampling and prospecting.
"We are extremely pleased by the rapid progress we have made at the Juby Project which again has demonstrated significant upside resource and discovery potential and with discovery costs well under $2 per ounce," commented Ian Campbell, President and CEO. "The resource remains wide open on Golden Lake for 1 kilometre where it strikes onto the newly consolidated ground to the northwest where numerous high-grade intercepts occur 4 kilometres away directly along trend and with no drilling in between. With this new model in hand we are now finalizing our plans and objectives for the next phase of work on the project which will include resource expansion drilling and evaluation of the numerous gold occurrences. We are well financed to carry out these programs."
