CANEX REPORTS CYANIDE SOLUBLE GOLD RECOVERIES OF 79.5% FROM THE
ELDORADO ZONE AT GOLD RANGE, ARIZONA
Calgary, Alberta - CANEX Metals Inc. (“CANEX” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce
favorable cyanide soluble gold recoveries from mineralized samples from the Eldorado Zone
at the Gold Range Project, Arizona.
Highlights
- Cyanide soluble gold analyses from sample pulps from the Eldorado Zone show
excellent recoveries and support a bulk tonnage heap leach target.
- 200 samples of oxidized and transitional material average 79.5% cyanide soluble gold.
- 8 samples have been submitted for bottle roll test work to provide a more detailed
metallurgical characterization of Gold Range mineralization.
Two hundred pulp samples from reverse circulation drilling at the Eldorado zone have been
analyzed for cyanide soluble gold using a 2 hour cold cyanide leach on 15 gram pulp samples.
The 200 samples returned a range of 25 to 127% cyanide soluble gold, averaging 79.5%. The
samples analyzed are mainly from visibly oxidized zones, although some mixed oxide and
sulfide (transitional) material was noted deeper in the system.
Dr. Shane Ebert, President of the Company stated, “These cyanide soluble gold results from
Eldorado confirm the potential as a bulk tonnage heap leach target and further de- risk the
exploration concept. The average cyanide soluble gold value of 79.5% compares very well to
current heap leach produc ers and development projects in western North America. The
Company has submitted 8 samples for advanced bottle roll test work to further understand the
leaching characteristics and chemistry of the Gold Range mineralization”.
January-February Gold Range Drill Program
In early 2021 the Company successfully completed 34 reverse circulation drill holes across 2.5
kilometres of strike length along the southern portion of the Gold Range Property. In total
2357.6 metres were drilled in holes ranging from 38 to 137 metres deep. Fifteen holes were
drilled at the Eldorado Zone to test and expand the Company’s previously announced bulk
tonnage oxide discovery, 5 holes tested various targets across the southern part of the
property and 14 holes tested the Excelsior Mine area.
Results for an additional 21 drill holes are pending and will be released as they are received,
compiled, and interpreted.
Quality Control
Reverse circulation drill cuttings were collected in numbered cloth sample bags from 5 foot
(1.52m) intervals during drilling and were picked up from site and analyzed by Skyline
Assayers and Laboratories in Tucson, Arizona (which is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited). A 1000g
pulp was prepared and gold was assayed using a 50g fire assay with an atomic absorption
finish (method FA-01-50g). Gold samples greater than 5 g/t are redone using a 50g fire assay
method with a gravimetric finish (method FA -02 50g). Cyanide soluble gold analyses were
done by Skyline using a 2 hour cold cyanide leach on 15 grams of pulp material with an atomic
absorption finish (Skyline code CN -1-H2-15g). The Company included certified reference
standards, blanks, and duplicates in every sample batch and then checked to ensure proper
quality assurance and quality control.
About CANEX Metals
CANEX Metals (TSX.V:CANX ) is a Canadian junior exploration company focused on
advancing its Gold Range Project in Northern Arizona. Led by an experienced management
team, which has made three notable porphyry and bulk tonnage discoveries in North America,
CANEX has identified and tested several targets which host the potential for bulk tonnage
oxide gold mineralization at its Gold Range Project. Recent drilling has identified near surface
bulk tonnage gold potential at the Eldorado Zone with Hole GR2 1-25 returning 1.3 g/t gold
over 21.3 metres including 5.1 g/t gold over 4.5 metres. The new discovery correlates with a
strong gold in soil anomaly and sheeted quartz veinlets and stockworks within metamorphic
rocks. The recent addition of the Excelsior Mine Property has added an ad ditional 2
kilometres of strike along a 3 kilometre long highly prospective mineralized trend that extends
from the Company’s Eldorado discovery to the historic Excelsior Mine. The Excelsior Mine
has seen historic underground and open pit mining along a z one 200 metres long and open
along strike. Gold mineralization is centered along the shallow dipping high grade Excelsior
Vein which is surrounded by a halo of sheeted quartz and quartz carbonate veins 20 to 50
metres wide.
The Company remains focused on testing and advancing key exploration targets on the Gold
Range Property through continued exploration and drilling.
