Almadex Intersects 4.51 metres of 656.8 g/t Silver and 0.03 g/t Gold
at the San Pedro Silver-Gold Project, Mexico
VANCOUVER, B.C. Almadex Minerals Ltd. ("Almadex" or the "Company") (TSX-V: “DEX”) is pleased to
announce that it has intersected significant silver mineralisation in the first hole (SP-22-003) drilled in 2022
on its wholly owned San Pedro Project located in Jalisco, Mexico (Figure 1). This hole intersected long
intervals of brecciated rock from the collar. The mineralised zone was encountered close to surface, in the
vicinity of historic mine workings at surface. The mineralised breccia units locally contain silicified
fragments, found in a sericitic alteration. Base metal sulphides including galena and sphalerite occur in the
matrix and in fragments of the breccia. Highlights of this intersection shown on the attached plan and section
(Figures 2 and 3) are:
From 5.49m to 10.00m (4.51m) of 656.8 g/t Silver and 0.03 g/t Gold
Includes from 8.00m to 10.00m (2.00m) of 1090.0 g/t Silver and 0.07 g/t Gold
J Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Almadex commented, “Our projects portfolio is the result of years of effort
and invested intellectual capital. We have a track record of discoveries, and we feel the varied and exciting
projects in our portfolio have the potential to add to that record. We are following up these exciting results
with further drilling which we look forward to reporting on.”
The San Pedro project covers a large area of acid sulphate alteration, including zones previous described
as vuggy silica. Recent Terraspec analysis indicates sericitisation superposed on propylitic alteration in the
mineralised zones with acid sulphate alteration occurring at the north end of the project. Elevated base
metals and silver have been returned from outcrop sampling, and previous soil sampling surveys. Previous
RC drilling by past operators (shown on attached figures) including Cominco returned anomalous gold,
silver and base metals. The intersection reported today provides a focus for further exploration on the
property. Two additional holes have now been completed (Figure 2 and 3) subsequent to completing hole
SP-22-003, and assays are pending. Drilling is ongoing at present with one drill crew.
Qualified Persons
Jocelyn Pelletier, P.Geo, a qualified person as defined by 43-101 reviewed and approved the scientific and
technical contents of this news release. The analyses reported were carried out at ALS Chemex
Laboratories of Guadalajara, Mexico 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 1,000 g/t
are further analysed by fire assay with a gravimetric finish.
