Toronto, Ontario – December 09, 2019 – PJX Resources Inc. (“PJX” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that the New Massive Sulphide (“NMS”) zone recently intersected in hole VA19-48 corresponds with a strong conductive Electromagnetic (EM) anomaly identified by recent down hole geophysics on the Vine Property. The NMS zone is very conductive and occurs at the edge of the newly identified strongly conductive EM anomaly which supports the NMS zone may be part of a larger body.
“This is very encouraging news,” states John Keating. “The NMS zone we recently intersected appears to be the same massive sulphide horizon that was intersected over 700 metres to the south by a hole drilled in the 1990’s. No holes have been drilled to test the NMS horizon between these holes or to the north and west. Down hole and surface geophysics suggest we intersected the edge of the NMS zone that has potential to be laterally extensive, similar to what occurs at the Sullivan deposit. Final compilation of the results is underway with drilling planned to start in January. In addition, recent drilling on the Gold Shear Property was just completed and results are pending.”
Down hole geophysics on drill hole VA19-48 also identified a moderate EM conductive anomaly that appears to correspond with the Sullivan Horizon, which is the geological horizon hosting the Sullivan massive sulphide deposit located 35 kilometres north of the Vine Property. This EM target occurs off the hole and has not yet been tested by drilling.
Highlights
- PJX drill hole VA19-48 recently intersected a new massive sulphide (“NMS”) zone, from 777.1 – 782.6 metres. The zone has 4 layers that consist largely of conductive massive iron- sulphides with anomalous zinc, copper, lead, and silver.
- Recent down hole EM geophysics, by Quantec Geoscience, has delineated two conductor anomalies, located at depths of about 340 metres (m) and 780m in drill hole VA19-48.
- EM anomaly at 340m depth appears to correspond with the Sullivan time horizon that hosts the Sullivan deposit. This is an off-hole anomaly as it is located away from the hole and was not intersected by the drill hole. The anomaly is located to the south and west of hole VA19-48 and has moderate conductivity thickness of 100 siemens.
- EM anomaly at 780m depth is stronger and corresponds with the New Massive Sulphide (NMS) horizon containing 4 layers of massive sulphide mineralization. Hole VA19-48 intersected the northern edge of the EM anomaly that extends to the south and west of the hole. The anomaly is very conductive with a conductivity thickness greater than 2,000 siemens.
- Historical hole KV90-41, drilled by Kokanee Exploration in 1990, intersected a 3.4 metrethick massive sulphide zone grading 5.65 lead, 2.7% zinc and 1.2 ounces/ton silver.
- The Kokanee hole is located south of PJX’s hole VA19-48. The holes are 700 metres apartand appear to have intersected the same mineralized NMS horizon.
- No holes have been drilled to test the NMS horizon between these two holes or on strikeand down dip to the north and west.
- Magnetotelluric (“MT”) Geophysics has identified a large MT target.
- The NMS zone occurs at the top of the large MT target.
- According to Quantec Geoscience data, the large MT target has an 800-metre strike lengthand can be traced down dip for over 2,000 metres.
- Recent thin section analysis of core samples by Vancouver Petrographics Ltd. has identified granofels alteration, beneath the NMS horizon, that is considered to occur in areas with high heat flow, such as venting environments on the ocean floor; a similar alteration occurs beneath the Sullivan Deposit.
The foregoing geological disclosure has been reviewed and approved by John Keating P.Geo. (qualified persons for the purpose of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects). Mr. Keating is the President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of PJX.
