Callinex Provides Exploration Update on IP
Surveys
VANCOUVER
,
Feb. 11, 2019
/CNW/ -
Callinex Mines Inc.
(the "Company" or "Callinex") (TSXV: CNX) (OTC:
CLLXF) is pleased to announce that it has a commenced a deep penetrating induced polarization ("IP") survey
at the Company's 100% owned Pine Bay Project (the "Project") located in the Flin Flon Mining District of
Manitoba, Canada
(
See Figures
1 and 2). The IP survey will be completed by Abitibi Geophysics using their
proprietary OreVision IP system, which can reveal targets at four times the depth of conventional IP. The
objective of the survey is to detect pyrite-rich mineralization that may host high-grade copper and zinc up to
depths of
580m
along three favorable volcanogenic massive sulphide ("VMS") horizons that host the Pine Bay,
Cabin and Baker Patton deposits.
In late-2016 the Company discovered a high-grade zone over
10.3m
that assayed 6.0% Zn, 1.8 g/t Au, 60.4
g/t Ag, 0.7% Cu and 0.4% Pb by extending a Placer Dome Inc. drill hole by 38 meters (See News Release
dated
October 18, 2016
). Notably, Placer Dome Inc. completed a borehole electromagnetic survey, which did
not provide any geophysical indications of this high-grade zone. Additional drilling by Callinex also intersected
several intersections of pyrite-rich mineralization that was unable to be detected with conventional
electromagnetic methods.
Nash Creek IP Survey
To date, approximately 156 line km out of a planned 190 line km have been completed at the Nash Creek
Project located in the Bathurst Mining District of
New Brunswick
. The remaining portion of the survey is
anticipated to be completed in the early-spring as a result of significant snowfall associated with recent
storms in the area. The Company will announce results from the IP survey upon completion of inversion
modelling.
Appointment of Chief Financial Officer
The Company is also pleased to announce that
Killian Ruby
, President and CEO of Malaspina Consultants
Inc., has been appointed as Chief Financial Officer for the Company. Mr. Ruby is a Chartered Professional
Accountant and was formerly an Assurance Partner at Wolrige Mahon LLP (now Baker Tilly Canada), and
prior to that a Senior Manager with KPMG, working predominantly with public companies.
The Company thanks Mr. Anderson for his services as CFO and wishes him continued success in his future
endeavours at Malaspina.
J.J. O'Donnell, P.Geo, a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101 and a Consulting Geologist for
Callinex, has reviewed and approved the technical information in this news release.
