Almadex Commences Drilling on the Sinter Zone, Paradise-Davis Project, Nevada
VANCOUVER, B.C. Almadex Minerals Ltd. ("Almadex" or the "Company") (TSX-V: “DEX”) is pleased to
announce that it has commenced a diamond drilling program at the Sinter Zone at its Paradise-Davis
Project, Nevada. Almadex hopes to drill two holes in the sinter zone before the end of the year. The sinter
zone covers an area of high level epithermal alteration and veining as described in more detail below.
Mapping of alteration and textures on this target has identified features typical of the surficial expression of
an epithermal system. The drilling will target feeder veins beneath this alteration.
About the Sinter Zone, Paradise-Davis Project
The sinter zone is located adjacent and to the north of the porphyry lithocap area (see map attached and
Almadex news release of September 22, 2022) and is interpreted to represent a separate hydrothermal
system. The sinter zone covers an area of subcrop boulders of sinter (surface hotspring silica deposit)
material, hydrothermal brecciation and epithermal quartz veining. Old workings, epithermal alteration and
veining occur over roughly 3 km along a northeast trend. Past sampling in the sinter zone includes 30
surface samples taken in 2022 that averaged 0.2 g/t gold and 2.2 g/t silver including a 30 cm chip sample
of a banded vein crosscutting the sinter which returned 1.2 g/t gold and a grab from a silicified breccia which
returned 1.5 g/t gold (see Almadex new release of September 22, 2022). Recent mapping and prospecting
along this trend have identified banded quartz veins and veinlets along strike and to the south of the sinter
zone. The scale of the vein system and epithermal alteration is encouraging. The Company has obtained
partial assay results from an RC drill program conducted in the area in the early 1990s which indicate some
of the holes returned anomalous gold over short intervals which confirms that the epithermal system is gold
and silver bearing.
J Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Almadex commented, “While field work continues to advance our newly
acquired portfolio of high-quality porphyry lithocap targets in the western USA, we are excited to be drilling
again, this time on a well defined zone of epithermal alteration we interpret to represent the upper part of a
large epithermal vein system. As 2024 comes to a close we are pleased to be testing another target in our
portfolio with our in house drilling and look forward to continuing this drilling oriented exploration into 2025.”
Qualified Persons
Morgan J Poliquin, PhD, PEng, the President and CEO of Almadex and a Qualified Person as defined by
National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101"), has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical contents
of this news release.
The analyses reported were carried out at ALS Chemex Laboratories of Reno, Nevada using industry
standard analytical techniques. For gold, samples are first analysed by fire assay and atomic absorption
spectroscopy (“AAS”). Samples that return values greater than 10 g/t gold using this technique are then re
analysed by fire assay but with a gravimetric finish. Silver is first analysed by Inductively Coupled Plasma
- Atomic Emission Spectroscopy (“ICP-AES”). Samples that return values greater than 100 g/t silver by
ICP-AES are then re analysed by HF-HNO3-HCLO4 digestion with HCL leach and ICP-AES finish. Of these
samples those that return silver values greater than 1,500 g/t are further analysed by fire assay with a
gravimetric finish.
