MONTREAL, Canada December 14th 2010- Amex Exploration Inc. (AMX: TSX-V) is pleased to announce beginning of drilling in the new gold bearing structure on its 100% owned Cameron property located in Northern Québec. The property is located at about 25 kilometres to the NE of Lebel-sur-Quévillon in the north-western part of Quebec, and consists of 13 claims for a total area of 731 hectares.
Follow up trenching, based on new geophysic surveys (see press release of June, 15th,2010), combined with compilation data from previous trenching and grab sampling done by SOQUEM in the early 90’s, as led to the identification of a gold-bearing structure that returned an intersect of 1,07 g/t Au over 2,3 meters by channel sampling across the mineralized structure. This structure is characterized by an altered sheared quartz-feldspar-pyrite-sericite unit that is oriented more or less NE-SW and seems to be related to the regional ‘Wedding Fault Zone’
Geologically, the property is covered by volcano sedimentary rocks of the Abitibi Sub province which consists mostly of basaltic to andesitic rocks with five felsic horizons present in the trench area. The property is strategically located near the intersection of the Cameron and Chieftain regional deformation corridors and is cut by the regional NE trending Franquet and Wedding faults. To the northwest, shear-related gold mineralization has been discovered along the NW-SE Cameron deformation corridor at the Flordin deposit with reserves of 815 500T @ 5.1 g/t Au, at the Cartwright deposit with 83 000T @ 10.4 g/t Au and at the Lake Cameron Sud deposit with values of 5.1 g/t over 0.8 meter and 1.3 g/t Au over 13 meters (ref Roy et al. ET-97-02,1997,27 p.).
Following these first exciting preliminary results, Amex is now proceeding with a drilling program of
