Almadex Reports Final Drilling From Q2 Drill Program at Davis/Paradise in Nevada
VANCOUVER, B.C. Almadex Minerals Ltd. ("Almadex" or the "Company") (TSX-V: DEX) is pleased to
announce the results of drilling from the final three holes of its May/June 2022 drilling program at its
Davis/Paradise project in Nevada.
Two holes (DP22-003 and 4) were drilled in the sinter target area of the project (Figure 1). The sinter target
covers a zone of silicification interpreted to represent an ancient hotspring deposit and paleo water table
environment. The hotspring layered silica deposits are locally crosscut by banded epithermal veins which
dip to the west and strike roughly N-NE. Two holes were drilled from pads permitted before detailed
mapping was conducted in this area. This detailed mapping indicates that the veins may dip away from the
drilling, so future drilling is planned to be carried out from pads that can better facilitate holes to drill deep
underneath the sinter area and cross cut veins at right angles to the structural measurements made on
surface. A summary of results is as follows :
DP-22-004 intersected a 2.0 metre interval from 59.50 metres averaging 1.16 g/t gold in a
crustiform vein.
DP-22-003 intersected a 0.5 metre interval from 269.0 metres that returned 0.32 g/t gold in a
banded vein and a 2.0 metre interval from 304.3 averaging 0.19 g/t gold at the bottom of the hole
in altered rock and veined volcanic.
As noted above, mapping suggests that these holes were not collared optimally to intersect the
banded veins mapped on surface in the sinter zone.
Both sinter holes were associated with elevated epithermal pathfinder elements, supporting the
interpretation that the altered zones and veins intersected are at high levels in the epithermal
system that formed them.
The final hole DP-22-005 was drilled in the Butler area. This first hole into this area did not intersect veining
and returned no values of significance. The attached map shows the location of all drilling completed by
Almadex to date. Prior to drilling, a surface prospecting, mapping and sampling program was initiated over
this very large multi target project. This work is ongoing and the Company expects to be able to report on
results of surface sampling and alteration mapping soon once data has been compiled.
J. Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Almadex commented, These new results from the sinter zone are the
first known drillholes in this area. Banded veins seen on surface cross cutting paleo water table alteration
are indicative of a dynamic hydrothermal system. These results show the presence of gold at high levels in
this system. Veins are mapped at surface dipping away from the collars of these holes. Future drilling is
planned to test for high grade gold at depth beneath the sinter and with azimuths and collars better designed
to cross cut the structures identified on surface.
Qualified Persons and QA/QC
Jocelyn Pelletier, P.Geo. 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.
Intervals that returned assays below detection were assigned zero values. Blanks, field duplicates and
certified standards were inserted into the sample stream as part of Almadexs quality assurance and control
program which complies with National Instrument 43-101 requirements. True widths for the drilling intervals
reported cannot be determined at this time.
About the Davis/Paradise Property
Almadex consolidated the Davis/Paradise Valley area during 2019 by optioning from the underlying owners
the Davis property, which adjoins the Paradise Valley property which had been staked by Almadexs
predecessor company. The property now comprises 358 claims totalling approximately 2,800 hectares with
multiple targets, located approximately eight miles southeast of Gabbs, Nevada and five miles northeast of
the Paradise Peak gold mine.
About Almadex
Almadex Minerals Ltd. is an exploration company that holds a large mineral portfolio consisting of
exploration projects and NSR royalties in Canada, the U.S., and Mexico. This portfolio is the direct result
of many years of prospecting and deal-making by Almadex’s management team. The Company remains
focussed on grassroots exploration, acquisition and drilling mineral projects, on its own and in partnership
with others, with the goal of creating new mineral resources and royalty holdings. The Company owns
several portable diamond drill rigs, enabling it to conduct cost effective first pass exploration drilling in
house.
