AMEX EXPLORATION GOLD DISCOVERY INVESTOR NEWS

 

Montreal, February 21, 2017 – Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (“Amex” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to report that it has been informed by Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (NYSE:AEM, TSX: AEM)(“Agnico”) of its exploration work program for 2017 to be done on Amex’s 100% owned Perron property, located near the town of Normetal in the Northern Quebec Abitibi area.

Following the positive drilling results on the extension of the Mine Horizon, as outlined in the press release dated June 29, 2016 (see PR2016-06-29), Agnico has prepared a 6,500 meters drill program to be executed in two phases during 2017, a winter phase (February to April) followed by a summer phase (date to be determined).

The planned winter phase consists of eight diamond drill holes (DDH), totalling approximately 3,300 meters, that will essentially be located along the Normetal Mine Horizon, in different targeted areas at the eastern limit of the property, central part and at the western most limit of the known extension of this prospective horizon. To achieve this program, two rigs will be mobilized on the field once all permitting and access road are completed.

This work program for 2017 was prepared according to the terms and conditions of the Revised Option Agreement that requires Agnico to spend a minimum of $750,000 in exploration work before December 31, 2017, and an additional $1,500,000 to be spent before December 31, 2018. Also related to the Revised Option Agreement, two additional cash payments are scheduled as follows: $75,000 by December 31, 2017 and $100,000 by December 31, 2018 (in addition to $320,000 cash payments already received).

Victor Cantore, President and CEO of Amex comments, “This new exploration work program, demonstrates clearly the continuing interest of the our partner at the Perron property following the positive results from the last year of drilling on the Normetal Mine Horizon. We are very pleased to see that they are still committed to this property and shared evaluation of the potential to find valuable polymetallic mineralization.”

Amex Exploration Inc. is a junior mining exploration company, the primary objective of which is to develop and bring into production viable gold and base metals deposits in mining-friendly jurisdictions. Amex has two main projects: the 100% owned Perron gold project located 110 kilometres north of Rouyn Noranda, Quebec, consisting of 116 adjacent claims covering 4518 hectares; and the 100% owned Eastmain River gold properties consisting of 79 claims covering 4,173 hectares.

Montreal, March 1, 2017 – Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (“Amex” or the “Corporation”) announces that it has begun a ground exploration program on its Eastmain River properties and it has undertaken to complete a non-brokered private placement in the maximum amount of $650,000, through the offering of up to 5,000,000 units priced at $0.13 each.  Each unit will consist in one common share and one common share purchase warrant having an exercise price of $0.18 and a term of 18 months.

The recently begun ground exploration program on the 100% owned Eastmain River properties will consist of an induced polarization survey at a 200-meter grid spacing, which will be followed by a diamond drilling campaign to test the best geophysical targets. The Eastmain River North and South properties consists of 65 claims covering some strategic ground in the area, namely directly North of the Eastmain Resource’s Eastmain Gold Mine and South of the SOQUEM’s Lac Harbour gold property (see Figure 1).

These properties are situated in the Eeyou Istchee Territory, James Bay, Québec, approximately 350 km north of the town of Chibougamau. The claims are accessible from Chibougamau by the new 243-kilometer-long all-season road to Stornoway’s Renard diamond Mine (route 167 extension from Temiscamie). To date, Amex has completed a Heliborne Magnetic and Time-Domain Electromagnetic survey on the property. The 2017 winter IP survey will be carried by Geophysics TMC of Val D’Or, Québec while supervision and interpretation of the survey will be under the responsibility of Joel Dubé, P. Eng registered in Quebec.

“We have pulled together very interesting and well situated properties in the Eastmain River region,” said Victor Cantore, President and CEO of Amex Exploration. “Our properties are surrounded by other active and successful exploration programs which are yielding excellent polymetallic gold rich results. Our focus is to identify the best targets for follow up drilling this winter season. This drill program combined with the already announced drilling on our Perron property gives our shareholders excellent leverage to a number of discovery opportunities.”

At the Eastmain River North property, the 26 km-IP survey will cover an area of 3.8 km by 1 km of the same volcanic assemblage hosting the newly discovered gold and base metals showings of the Soquem’s Lac Harbour property (see SOQUEM website). The airborne geophysical survey conducted in August 2016 has clearly demonstrated the continuity of the same magnetic pattern from Soquem to Amex’ ground, pattern characterized by NE-SW alternating horizons of high and low magnetic anomalies. The airborne survey also allowed to identify some crosscutting structures where the magnetic pattern abruptly disappears or is displaced.

With respect to the Eastmain River South property, the 40 km-IP survey will cover the southern part of the claim block which is contiguous to the Eastmain Mine. Geologically speaking, this property is located at the hinge of a major regional fold that affects the entire Eastmain Greenstone Belt. Indeed, the detailed heliborne magnetic survey has delineated a fold feature characterized by a high magnetic anomaly, the nose of the fold is located at the westernmost end of the property. The detailed survey mimics clearly the results of the regional governmental survey, where not only this interpreted fold appears, but also where a larger fold repetition can be interpreted. Of note is that the NW trending limb of this regional feature crosses onto the Eastmain Mine approximately 1.5 km southwest of the NW trending mine horizon. This trend is also underlined by a subtle magnetic anomaly and Eastmain Resources has recently announced some impressive results of the last round of drilling completed at the Julien Target located at the NW extremity of the mineralized trend. Holes EM16-92 returned significant mineralized intersections such as 24.8 g/t Au, 25.7 g/t Ag and 1.1 % Cu over 9.3 metres (see PR Eastmain Resources January 19, 2017).

This winter geophysical survey should be followed, in March by a diamond drilling campaign, totalling at least 1,000 metres, aimed at testing the best geophysical and geological targets.

Montreal, April 11, 2017 – Amex Exploration Inc. (“Amex”) (TSX-V: AMX) is pleased to announce the beginning of an approximately 2000-meter drill program on its 100% owned Eastmain River North property (“ERN”). This program consists of 13 diamond drill holes (DDH) that were selected and planned from the combined results of an airborne Magnetic and Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) survey (see PR 2016-08-02) and a ground induced polarization survey. (see PR 2017-02-27).

The 26 km-IP survey covered an area of 3.8 km by 1 km of the same volcano-sedimentary assemblage hosting the newly discovered gold and base metals showings of SOQUEM’s Lac Harbour property. The airborne geophysical survey demonstrated the continuity of the same magnetic pattern from SOQUEM to Amex’s ERN property, pattern characterized by NE-SW trending horizons of high and low magnetic conformable anomalies. Amex has identified 9 high priority targets on the ERN property for immediate diamond drilling of approximately 2,000 m.

This property is situated in the Eeyou Istchee Territory, James Bay, Québec, approximately 350 km North of the town of Chibougamau. The claims are accessible from Chibougamau by the new 243-kilometer-long all-season road to Stornoway’s Renard diamond mine (route 167 extension from Temiscamie). Amex acquired the property by staking in 2016 and has carried out in August 2016 an Heliborne airborne Magnetic and Time -Domain Electromagnetic survey. The 2017 winter IP survey has been carried by Geophysics TMC of Val D’Or, Québec while supervision and interpretation of the survey was under the responsibility of Joel Dubé, P. Eng registered in Quebec.

Amex Exploration Inc. is a junior mining exploration company which primary objective is to develop and bring into production viable gold and base metals deposits in mining-friendly jurisdictions. Amex has two main projects: the 100% owned Perron gold project located 110 kilometres north of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, consisting of 116 adjacent claims covering 4518 hectares; and the 100% owned Eastmain River gold properties consisting of four distinct properties totalling 135 claims covering 7,102 hectares.

Montreal, May 1st, 2017 – Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (“Amex” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an option agreement to acquire an undivided 100% interest in the Gowan Property.

This property is located in the Gowan Township in the Porcupine Mining Division Ontario, approximately 16 km due east of Glencore’s Kidd Creek Mine. The Kidd Creek Mine is considered to be a world class copper zinc volcanagenic massive sulphide deposit. The Kidd Mine has been in production for over 50 years and produced in excess of 150 million tons of ore. (ref. Kidd Operations Glencore).

The Gowan Property is a strategically located 256 hectare property covering a prospective package of felsic volcanic rocks similar to those which host the Kidd Creek Mine. The property hosts a number of historical drill hole intersections with significant copper, zinc, gold and silver intercepts. No significant work has been conducted on the property since the late 1970’s. It is anticipated that “state of the art” geophysical surveys will be conducted on the project in the future to evaluate the property’s potential at depth and further examine the extent of known mineralization. Subject to favourable results from the initial geophysical program a follow up program of diamond drilling would be conducted.

Mr. Victor Cantore, President of Amex Exploration stated, “We continue to add attractive prospective properties to our portfolio. With the addition of the Gowan property we are expanding into Ontario and into the highly prolific Porcupine Belt. Our goal is to be opportunistic and acquire appealing properties at excellent valuations. Our Team is very excited about the prospects of this property, and for a relatively modest exploration program we believe we can quickly identify the potential at Gowan, offering our shareholders additional discovery opportunities.”

As per the terms of the Agreement, to earn its 100% interest, Amex must issue a total of 400,000 common shares of the Corporation and make cash payments totalling $20,000, to the vendor, all in equal instalments over a four year period and, incur exploration expenses in the total amount of $25,000. 100,000 common shares and the first cash payment of $5000 will be due at the closing of the transaction, expected to take place within the next ten days. In addition, upon exercise of the option, the vendor will be granted a 2.5% Net Smelter Royalty (NSR) of which 1% can be bought back for the amount of $1,000,000 within 6 months of the publication of a feasibility study.

This transaction remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and securities issued will be subject to a four months hold period.

MONTREAL, Canada-June 28,2017 – Amex Exploration Inc. (“Amex or the Company”) (AMX: TSX-V) announces that Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (the “Optionee”) has informed the Company of its decision to let its option to acquire 51% of the Perron property lapse. Under the terms of the option agreement entered into June 21, 2013, and amended twice thereafter to extend the termination date at the request of the Optionee, the Perron Property fully reverts to Amex, who will now control and direct all exploration activities. Pursuant to an extensive review of the data to be provided by the Optionee on all the work completed to date, in the amount of $2.5M, Amex expects to launch an exploration program that will primarily focus on the original Amex discovery hole PE-13-03 which returned an intercept of 41.4 meters at 2.19 g/t Au, including of 19.1 g/t Au over 2 meters (see PR2013-03-19).

“Now that Perron is back in our hands, we will be launching an exploration program to be defined following a full review of the extensivedatabase and the creation of a3D model which will highlight the main gold features of Perron,”said Jacque Trottier, Chairman of the Board and Head of Exploration at Amex.“We are eager to start working on the property again and to be able to focus our exploration efforts in areas which we feel have the highest potential to host a gold rich polymetallic deposit on the property. Since the original discovery hole made in 2013, Perron has always been a very interesting target and we are excited to be directing the exploration program again with the added benefit of the exploration work completed by Agnico Eagle in the area.

“I am very pleased to have recuperated 100% of this propertyso that Amex can put together a focused exploration program that can test the potential of our initial discovery, which was not the primary focus of recent exploration,” said Victor Cantore, President and CEO.

The Optionee was to drill 6,500 meters in 2017, of which they completed drilling on 8 out of 16 targets. Most of the targets were located within the Normetal Mine Horizon where the Optionee has concentrated its exploration work since 2015. The Normetal Mine Horizon is approximately 1 km from the Amex Perron discovery area.

Montreal, July 27th, 2017 -AmexExploration Inc. (“Amex”) (TSX-V: AMX) is pleased to announce the conclusive results of the 2017 winter drill program confirming the gold potential of its 100% owned Eastmain River North property(“ERN”) (see PR 2017-04-11). This program consisted of 9 diamond drill holes (DDH) that were selected and planned accordingly from the combined results of an airborne Magnetic and Time Domain Electromagnetic (TDEM) survey (see PR 2016-08-02) and a winter ground induced polarization survey(see PR 2017-02-27).

The 26 km-IP survey covered an area of 3.8 km by 1 km of the same volcano-sedimentary assemblage hosting the newly discovered gold and base metals showings of SOQUEM’s Lac Harbour property (see SOQUEM website) where rock, channel and boulder samples have returned values up to 24.38 g/t Au (rock) and 9.14 g/t Au over 0.5 m (channel). Additionally, some past drilling reported base metal values up 1.9% Zn over 0.86 m and 1.85% Cu over 0.49 m in two distinct drilled holes. The airborne geophysical survey conducted in August 2016 had clearly demonstrated the continuity of the same magnetic pattern from Soquem to Amex’s ERN property, pattern characterized by NE-SW trending horizons of high and low magnetic conformable anomalies. The airborne survey also allowed toidentify some crosscutting structures where the magnetic pattern abruptly disappears or is displaced.

The highlights of the Amex2017 winter program consist of the confirmation of the gold potential of the ERN property having intersected various anomalous gold intersect in 3 out of 9 first phase drill holes ever drilled on this property. Twodistinct types of gold mineralization were encountered, namely a fine pyritic and magneteticstratabound gold mineralization hosted in a narrow cherty finely laminated tuffaceous horizon (0.19 g/t Au over 0.30 meter in hole AMX-17-03) located at the interface of two volcanic units, and a disseminated gold mineralizationhosted in some altered pyritized and hematizedfelsic intrusive (0.27 g/t Au over 1.0 meter in hole AMX-17-06 and 0.69 g/t Au over 1.0 meter in hole AMX-17-07). Although relatively narrow, these intersects not only confirm the gold potential of this property, but opens new never explored favorable grounds to host various gold type deposits. As for a first phase of exploration, these results are quite positive and warrantfollow up exploration work.

“Our first pass of drilling at the ERN property has confirmed gold mineralization and we are pleased to have follow up targets to pursue,” commented Victor Cantore, President and CEO of Amex. “In addition to this follow up, we will start ground work on our promising Eastmain River South property which is contiguous to the Eastmain Mine.Amex has a large land position in the Eastmain camp. The area is actively being explored by numerous companies and multiple discoveries are possible.” Cantore continued “We are also reviewing the data received from Agnico Eagle on our Perron property which has recently reverted back to Amex. With more than $7.5M already spent on Perron, we will create a focused exploration program following data interpretation and 3D modelling. With numerous highly prospective properties we have multiple exploration targets which we will be prioritizing over the coming months and we are well financed for our immediate exploration plans.”

The Eastmain River Northproperty issituated in the Eeyou Istchee Territory, James Bay, Québec, approximately 350 km North of the town of Chibougamau. The claims are accessible from Chibougamau by the new 243-kilometer-long all-season road to Stornoway’sRenard diamond mine (route 167 extension from Temiscamie).  Amex acquired the property by staking in 2016 and in August 2016 carried out an airborneMagnetic and TimeDomain Electromagnetic survey. The 2017 winter IP survey has been carried by Geophysics TMC of Val D’Or, Québec while supervision and interpretation of the survey was under the responsibility of Joel Dubé, P. Eng registered in Quebec.

MONTREAL, Canada – August 8, 2017 – Amex Exploration Inc. (“Amex or the Company”) (AMX: TSX-V) announces that a 3D modelling contract for the Perron Gold property has been awarded to InnovExplo. All data for the modelling will come from the work previously performed by Amex Exploration as well as all the work done by Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (AEM) from 2013 to 2017. From this modelling, drill targets will be identified and a drilling program will be presented. The 3D model as well as drilling proposal should be finalized by the end of September.

Stéphane Faure, Geo, PhD of InnovExplo will be in charge of the Amex work program. He is a well acquainted with the Perron property and the geology of the area. Once the modelling is complete, Amex expects to launch an exploration program that should primarily focus on the original Amex discovery hole PE-13-03 which returned an intercept of 41.4 meters at 2.19 g/t Au, including of 19.1 g/t Au over 2 meters (see PR2013-03-19).

“Now that we have recovered all of the data from the work performed on the property to date, the creation of 3D modeling based on mineralization, structure, geochemistry and geology will enable us to better understand the main gold features of Perron. This modeling will optimize the success of future drilling on this very prospective property that could host various types of economic gold deposits.” said Jacques Trottier, Executive Chairman of Amex.

MONTREAL, Canada – August 14, 2017 – Amex Exploration Inc. (“Amex or the Company”) (AMX: TSX-V) is pleased to announce the results of an NI43-101 compliant technical report (Report) on the 100% owned Cameron property located 26 km north of Lebel-sur-Quévillon in the north-western part of the province of Quebec and 150 kilometers to the North East of Val D’Or. The Cameron property, as outlined in this Report, covers 13 claims over 731 Ha. Since commissioning the Report, Amex has added 3 more properties to the Cameron Project which now comprises 263 claims covering 14,743 hectares. These new claims are not covered in this Report.

Jacques Marchand, P.Eng. Geo. prepared the Report on the Cameron property and has visited the Cameron property area several times from 2013 to 2015 and completed a detail geological survey of the main area. The area is mostly covered by altered and sheared mafic rocks south of the south-east trending Cameron deformation corridor and north of the Chieftain deformation zone. It is crossed by the north-east Wedding, Franquet and Opawica faults. These structures are widely known for their gold and base metal mineralisation.

From 2010 to 2015, 25 diamond drill holes totalling 6,810m were drilled on the project. Four holes were on Induced  Polarisation anomalies and the remainder were on the 91-13 trench area. Several Induced Polarisation anomalies remain untested. One gold bearing area has been defined on surface and by diamond drill holes in the 91-13 trench area. Mineralisation, reaching 11.2g/t and 10.0g/t Au over 0.3m, 9.1g/t Au over 0.8m and 4.1g/t Au over 1.5m are seen within lenses. The system is dimensional, the zone remains open and has a potential for extension and densification of the mineralisation, mainly at depth but also laterally.

The report concludes that given the potential for an economic gold discovery, an exploration program of CDN$600,000 is recommended that would include:

  • the interpretation of previous work and to improve the three dimensional system
  • removal of the thin overburden cover of two trenches covering the northern and southern flanks of the current trench and extending eastward to recover, at surface, the mineralization found in holes Ca2015s01 and 08
  • complete a geological survey, covering the trenches and the surrounding area
  • drill at depth into the trench area and at 100m depth under the best untested IP anomalies
  • initiate a mineralogical and grade control on all mineralised samples.

“The Lebel-sur-Quévillon area has been the subject of a recent massive staking rush which saw Osisko Mining alone stake 216,000 hectares of land. The region hosts past gold mines, current producing gold mines and new gold discoveries. Our Cameron project is well located in this highly prospective area and we are actively speaking with potential partners to assist us in developing Cameron while we focus on our Perron project where we can benefit from more than $7.5M that has already been spent in exploration work. A project partner on Cameron will enable us to realize the potential of this project without shareholder dilution,” said Victor Cantore, President and CEO of Amex.

Amex is also pleased to announce the official launch of its new website at www.amexexploration.com. The Company encourages investors visit the site and to sign up to receive press releases via email. The subscription form can be found on the home page.

MONTREAL, Canada – October 24, 2017 – Amex Exploration Inc. (“Amex or the Company”) (AMX: TSX-V) announces that further to the 3D modelling contract for the Perron Gold property that was awarded to InnovExplo (see PR2017-08-08), Amex has identified 14 new drill targets in previously untested sections of the Perron property. From these targets, a 4,360 meter drill program has been prepared and will starts as soon as all permits are in place. (See Figure 1)

The new priority targets were outlined from a combination of multiple data base sources, including drill core, whole rock geochemistry, normative alteration mineral zonation, gold and base metal contents, local VTEM and MAG airborne surveys and down-hole pulse EM geophysics. The data was inputted into a 3D model using Leapfrog application in order to localize potential extensions of previously identified mineralization from prior drilling and to identify new high potential mineralized areas. The new areas have never been drilled and are within a perimeter of at least 100 meters of any past drillings.

From the 3D Model, 4 of the 14 drill targets (Fig 1, B-C-D-E) were identified immediately next to Amex discovery hole PE-2013-03, where values of 3.84 g/t Au + 23 g/t Ag + 1.4% Zn + 0.10% Cu over 15.2 meters (including 19.07 g/t Au + 102 g/t Ag + 5.0% Zn +0.38% Cu over 2.0 meters) were intersected (see PR2013-03-04). These 4 holes will test the extensions of the interpreted intersected mineralization of hole PE-2013-03 as feeders and a potential overlying stratabound VMS (volcanogenic massive sulfides) that could be lying at the Rhyolite-Basalte contact. These targets are of top priority and will be drilled early in the drill campaign depending on field logistics.

Another 5 targets, located at about 1 km to the East of the discovery hole area (Fig 1, F-G-H-L-N), have been identified to evaluate similar potential synvolcanic mineralized feeders and overlying VMS in an interpreted adjacent and parallel basin that is underlying by ultramafic ‘body’ which could have acted as a driving hydrothermal heat source for this type of mineralization.

Located approximately another 1 km to the East, two additional target holes have been planned to better test an isolated airborne VTEM conductor that can be followed over a distance of about 400 meters of strike length following the highly potential Rhyolite-Basalte contact zone, and is limited on both ends by interpreted synvolcanic faults. (Fig 1, I-K)

Finally, three additional drill targets have been selected. One is located at 1.5 km to the North-East of hole PE-2013-03 and will test the northern contact of the ‘Beaupré Rhyolite’ with the Normetal Mine Horizon where previous drilling (Fig 1, J) has encountered high grade gold values up to 11.45 g/t Au over 0.5 meter in hole 163-16-033 (See PR2016-06-29). The two last holes are located at about 1.0 km to the West of hole PE-2013-03, in the immediate vicinity of the Perron Gold Deposit testing some new interpretation of the mineralized system in this area. (Fig 1, A-M)

“The 3D modelling has given us an impressive, detailed model based on well documented data that was compiled from all available geological information recovered from previous work performed on the property. This newly constructed picture provides us with a better understanding of the various geological features that were responsible for the generation of different types of gold and gold-bearing polymetallic mineralization that has been drilled in the past. We have selected our top priority targets and we are very anxious to drill. I am personally convinced that this phase of drilling will be a turning point for the future development of this outstanding and promising property,” said Jacques Trottier, Executive Chairman of Amex.

Montreal, November 13, 2017 – Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (“Amex” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to report that it has receive the necessary permit to start a 4,360 meter drill program on Amex’s 100% owned Perron gold property, located near the town of Normetal in the Northern Quebec Abitibi area. The drill targets were generated using a 3D model, the results of which were announced on October 24, 2017.

This drilling program, consists of 14 new drill targets totalling 4,360 meters located in part near Amex discovery hole PE-2013-03, where values of 3.84 g/t Au + 23 g/t Ag + 1.4% Zn + 0.10% Cu over 15.2 meters (including 19.07 g/t Au + 102 g/t Ag + 5.0% Zn +0.38% Cu over 2.0 meters) were intersected (see PR2013-03-04). The 14 targets were selected using multiple data sources that were inputted in a 3D model using Leapfrog application to localise the potential extensions of previously identified mineralisation. (See PR2017-10-24).

“We are anxious to begin this new phase of drilling on Perron using our well defined and detailed 3D model. The Perron property host near 10 km of the Normetal Archean Greenstone Belt who’s geological setting is very similar to the Doyon-Bousquet-LaRonde mining camp. Based on the modelling to date, I believe there is an opportunity to host multiple types of discoveries from high grade gold veins to gold rich VMS polymetallic discoveries. Unlike other belts in Quebec and Ontario, the Normetal belt has seen very little exploration and this is the first time a company has drilled with so much data to guide the exploration program. It’s an exciting time for Amex and I look forward to updating you on our results,” said Jacques Trottier PhD, Executive Chairman of Amex.

Montreal, December 19, 2017 – Amex Exploration Inc. (TSXV: AMX) (“Amex” or the “Corporation”) is pleased to announce that it has initiated a new exploration program starting with a ground geophysical survey at the newly expanded 100% owned Gowan property (See PR2017-10-19).

This property is located in the Gowan Township in the Porcupine Mining Division Ontario, approximately 16 km due east of Glencore’s Kidd Creek Mine, considered to be a world class copper zinc volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit. This mine has been in production for over 50 years and produced in excess of 150 million tons of ore. (ref. Kidd Operations Glencore). Geologically the Gowan property is strategically located covering a prospective package of felsic volcanic rocks similar to those which host the Kidd Creek Mine.

The ground geophysical program will evaluate a total of approximately 7 different targets defined by government airborne geophysical surveys. The new anomalies are proximal to historical mineralized intercepts from drill holes completed by a previous exploration group (Alamos Petroleum). Highlights from two drill holes completed by Alamos include a massive to disseminated sulphide zone from Alamos Hole 2 which returned 12.5 feet of 0.635% copper including a shorter interval which assayed 0.95% Cu over 3 feet. Significant anomalous silver values were also associated with these intercepts. Alamos Hole No. 3 testing a separate target area on the property returned three distinct mineralized zones. The upper zone in hole No.3 returned 0.68% Cu and 0.02 oz./ton gold across 1.5 ft., and the middle zone assayed 1.24% Cu  across 1.2 ft. Lastly, the lower intercept in the Hole No.3 assayed 1.23% Zn and 0.17% Cu over 2 ft. (The reader is cautioned that these reported intercepts are historical in nature taken from an Alamos Petroleum internal summary report by R.S. Middelton, 1975, and pre-date NI-43-101. The corporation has not drilled holes to verify these historical numbers.)

No significant work has been conducted on the property since the late 1970s. It is anticipated that “state of the art” geophysical surveys that will be conducted on the project will assist in further evaluating the known mineralized zones and potential new zones associated with proximal new airborne electromagnetic (EM) anomalies.
