Oremex Update
Vancouver, Canada (ots/PRNewswire)
Oremex Resources Inc. (TSX-V: ORM) (the Company) today provided an update on the status of surface access at their flagship Tejamen Silver Property (Tejamen), State of Durango, Mexico. Discussions continue to progress with the Ejido of Tejamen (governing authority for the village and surrounding communal lands) with the guidance and public support of the Secretary of State for the Governor of Durango and the President of Nuevo Ideal, the regional district in which Tejamen is located.
The State Governor's Office has pledged support for the project itself, as well as assistance with the resolution of any outstanding issues with members of the Ejido of Tejamen in order to ensure that the project can proceed. The State Governor has designated members of his cabinet to assist with the negotiations.
At the recent opening of a new health facility in the region, local representatives of Tejamen presented the State Governor with a petition in support of the project, urging action to approve and advance start up of the project.
The President of Nuevo Ideal has publicly stressed the benefits that the project will bring to local and regional inhabitants which include significant employment opportunities, social development programs as well as the provision for small community enterprise.
Tejamen has an Inferred mineral resource of 50.8 million ounces
of silver in a total of 22.6 million tonnes grading a
silver-equivalent of 69.8 grams per tonne (Wardrop Engineering Report
NI 43-101 compliant April 2006). Snowden Mining Industry Consultants
("Snowden") completed a Preliminary Assessment Study (NI 43-101
compliant October 2006) for Tejamen. That report demonstrated that
the project could support a 10,000 tonne per day open pit, heap leach
mining operation which has a net present value of US$155 million at a
silver price of US$15 at a 7 percent discount.The TSX Venture Exchange has not reviewed and does not accept
responsibility for the adequacy and accuracy of this release.National Instrument 43-101 requires the following statement: that the preliminary assessment is preliminary in nature, that it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the preliminary assessment will be realized.
