Micrex Development Corp.: St. Charles, Quebec Magnetite Project
October 20 2011 - 8:33AM
Marketwired
Micrex Development Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MIX) announces that the
helicopter-borne high resolution aeromagnetic survey for the St.
Charles project has been completed and interpreted.
Additional magnetic anomalies were identified, which likely
correspond to magnetite bearing rock not yet discovered. Known
magnetite occurrences are indicated as more continuous than
anticipated, a situation highly beneficial to the development of
the project. The prominent anomaly, corresponding to the formerly
known Grand Saguenay Mine, is about 600 metres in length, up to 300
metres in width, with an excellent downward propagation, and is
going to be the focus of the new drilling program that is about to
begin.
A second salient anomaly, similar in size and intensity,
corresponds to the former Javelin deposit. At least 3 other second
order anomalies are present, which were basically unknown from
previous work.
During the past weekend the geologist and local residents helped
to wash and clean up some of the new outcroppings, which are to be
drilled and blasted in order to collect a 65 ton bulk sample. This
material includes a 12 ton sample to be shipped immediately to
England for testing and design of the crushing equipment. An
additional 2 tons will be shipped to Corem, a world renowned
metallurgical laboratory in Quebec City, for bench scale testing of
the magnetite recovery process. A subsequent pilot plant test at
Corem, requiring a 50 ton sample, is planned for this winter.
Definition drilling of the deposit is expected to start in
November.
The Quebec project is now all in place and Micrex only needs to
wait for the results to make the final decisions.
Micrex is also evaluating its gold projects, namely the Bighorn
mine in the Atlin, BC area, and is expecting to commission an
exploration program this year.
The recent receipt of additional Deadwood mine data has
encouraged Micrex to go ahead with an exploration program on the
Deadwood and Sunburst properties in New Mexico. This work will
comprise a detailed magnetic survey and results will be
reported.
This press release has been reviewed by M. Rejean Girard,
geologist and head director of IOS Services Geoscientifiques Inc.
and the Company's Qualified Person for this project under the
meaning of NI 43-101.
