Oremex Announces Additional Drill Results From San Lucas Drill Program
Vancouver, Canada (ots/PRNewswire)
Oremex Resources Inc. (TSX-V: ORM) (the "Company") announces that it has received additional results from a recently completed 7,000 metre, 47 hole drill program at its San Lucas Property ("San Lucas"), Durango, Mexico. The program was designed to test extensions of mineralization both down dip and along strike to silver-gold-lead-zinc mineralization defined in a 2005 drill program. Of the assays received for the balance of holes, the most significant silver results are contained in reverse circulation drill holes SL-20, 49, 50 and 51 along the main mineralized zone as follows:
<< Ag (grams Ag Interval From-to per (ounces Zn Pb Drill Hole (metres) (metres) tonne) per ton) (%) (%) SL-20 14 30-44 26.1 0.8 0.4 0.3 16 64-80 45.7 1.3 greater than 1.0 0.5 Incl. 6 64-70 60.9 1.8 greater than 0.7 0.8 SL-49 16 92-108 81.7 2.4 0.3 0.1 Incl. 2 94-96 615.6 18.0 0.3 0.1 SL-50 4 14-18 43.3 1.3 less than 0.1 0.2 4 30-34 168.6 4.9 0.2 0.4 2 50-52 96.0 2.8 0.4 0.1 SL-51 4 98-102 37.9 1.1 0.1 0.2 >>
Compilation of information from previously mined underground workings along with low grade lead and zinc intercepts in reverse circulation drill holes suggest that there is potential for a large, low grade zinc-lead body of mineralization below higher grade silver intercepts intersected in near surface drill holes and workings.
Reverse circulation samples were collected following standard industry practice and were analyzed by Inspectorate America Corporation using 30 element ICP with a fire assay technique with a gravimetric finish for gold and silver. The majority of the San Lucas Property remains open for exploration. Linda Thorstad, P. Geo. is the qualified person who reviewed the technical data presented in this news release.
