Margaux Resources Commissions NI 43-101 Compliant Technical Report on its
Sheep Creek Gold Property
CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (The Newswire – July 6, 2017)
Margaux Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE: MRL, OTCQB: MARFF) (“Margaux” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce
that Bob Lane, M.Sc., P.Geo has been commissioned to prepare a NI 43 -101 com pliant technical report on the
Company’s Sheep Creek gold property, which is part of the Company’s larger Kootenay Arc project in southern British
Columbia.
Bob Lane is a well-known and respected member of B.C.’s exploration industry, from his work both as an exploration
geologist and consultant, and from his 18 year -term with the B .C. government, primarily as Regional Geologist for
the province's North Central and Northeast regions.
The Sheep Creek Camp has historic production of 736,000 oz Au at an average grade of 14.7 g/t Au, from 34 discrete
veins. Cut-off grade for historical mining at Sheep Creek was approximately 8 g/t Au (1). Historically, ownership o f
the Sheep Creek Camp was fractured with multiple owners, but now just Margaux controls the majority of the camp,
including 26 past-producing mines that account for approximately 85% of the historic gold production , allowing for
greater control and oversight of operatons.
A recent Geoscience B.C. study has shown that mineralization at Sheep Creek is analogous to the orogenic gold veins
in the Barkerville area, where significant exploration and development work is underway (2). By comparison, mining
ceased at the Sheep Creek camp in 1951 and there has been relatively little modern work done in the area since.
Margaux has completed a limited surface and underground sampling program on the Sheep Creek property ( refer
to Company news release dated February 8, 2017). Results included 71.5 g/t Au returned from one dump pile and
17.75 g/t Au returned from an in-situ underground vein in one of the historic adits.
Digitization Project
Margaux is also pleased to announce that the data digitization project contracted to Orix Geoscience (“Orix”) is
nearing completion. Historical g eochemical data of over 2 ,000 rock samples and over 17 ,000 soil samples , from
Margaux’s Kootenay Arc project, is being complied and digitized. In addition, geological and assay information from
79 historic drill holes has been extracted from original paper drill logs and added to Margaux’s extensive drill hole
database for the project.
A significant portion of the Orix digitization project pertains to the Sheep Creek property, and represents the first
time that this data has been available in a digital format.
Tyler Rice, Margaux’s President and CEO stated , “Having access to this historic data in digital format gives our
geological team a significant technological advantage over previous explorers. GIS compilation and 3D modelling is
underway to fully utilize this information, to better plan the 2017 exploration program and to generate targets for
our upcoming drill program.”
