Margaux Resources Ltd. to Commence Ground-Based Geophysical Survey on its
Kootenay Arc Zinc District
CALGARY, ALBERTA -- (April 23, 2018)
Margaux Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MRL , OTCQB:MARFF) ("Margaux" or the "Company") is commencing a
ground-based geophysical survey (both VLF and Magnetic) on the Company’s Kootenay Arc Zinc District in southern
B.C. The 17-line kilometer survey will better characterize a near mine conductive horizon, as identified from a 2009
airborne HeliGEOTEM survey, for subsequent drill testing.
The horizon of interest is 750 m in length and located less than one kilometer from the Company’s past producing
Jersey-Emerald lead zinc mine. The conductive horizon occurs within Cambrian aged Laib Formation limestone and
dolomite, the host rocks for the Jersey-Emerald mineralization.
This conductor is untested by any previous diamond drilling. A historical soil grid over the region returned elevated
zinc in soils, to 2,257 ppm zinc, which are coincident with the airborne conductor. Approximately 450 m south along
strike of the conductor, a historic rock sample from banded sphalerite within dolomite returned 16.3% zinc, 0.24%
lead and 9.2 ppm silver. A further 450 m on strike to the southeast, a 2017 rock sample collected by Margaux
returned 32.8% zinc, 1.2% lead and 20.1 ppm silver.
Two historic drill holes (1994), located 300 m north of the conductive horizon, intersected a zone of semi -massive
pyrrhotite within limestone. A 0.9 m drill core sample returned 33.8 ppm gold, 34.4 ppm silver and over-limit values
of (>1%) lead and zinc.
“Margaux employs an integrated and multi-disciplinary approach to exploration. This geophysical survey represents
another tool for the Company to use,” commented Linda Caron, Margaux’s Vi ce President of Exploration, “ We
anticipate that the interpretation of this data will help us refine and prioritize drill targets on the Kootenay Arc Zinc
District”.
Notes
Except for one grab sample collected by the Company, rock, soil and drill core samples reported in this release are
historic samples. Margaux has copies of this historic data, including original analytical certificates. Analytical work
for the historic samples was completed by Chemex Labs Ltd (now ALS), a certified analytical laboratory. Multi-element
analyses were by ICP-AES while the reported gold assay is by metallic screen, fire assay/gravimetric finish. The drill
core interval reported in this release is a core interval. Additional drilling is re quired to understand the relationship
between core interval and true width.
Margaux’s 2017 rock sampling program included QA/QC protocols, including company inserted blanks and analytical
standards. The sample reported in this release was a grab sample tha t was shipped to ActLabs’ Kamloops, B.C.
laboratory (ISO 9001:2008, ISO 17025, CAN-P-1579 certification) for preparation and analysis. At the lab, the sample
was crushed to 80% passing a 10 mesh (2 mm) screen, then a 250 g split of the crushed sample was p ulverized to
95% passing 105 microns. The sample was analyzed for gold by FA/AA finish on a 30 g sample of pulverized material,
and for a multi -element suite by ICP -MS following aqua regia digestion. Overlimit zinc and lead assays were also
done.
