Temex Reports Broad Zones of Gold Mineralization at Whitney Gold Project, Ontario

TORONTO, March 22, 2012 /CNW/ - Temex Resources Corp.

Temex is conducting an aggressive program to define near-surface gold resources typical of what has been mined at the adjacent Pamour and Hoyle mine sites. The Hallnor Mine was the highest grade past producing multi-million ounce gold mine in Timmins which remains Canada's largest gold producing area.

Drill Highlights:

        --  TW11-171: 4.90 g/t gold over 7.35 m including 14.10 g/t gold
            over 0.75 m
        --  TW11-181: 1.03 g/t gold over 85.95 m including 24.90 g/t gold
            over 0.50 m
        --  TW11-182: 1.21 g/t gold over 18.20 m including 6.44 g/t gold
            over 0.85 m
        --  TW11-185: 1.27 g/t gold over 49.10 m including 4.02 g/t gold
            over 5.15 m
        --  TW12-198: 2.31 g/t gold over 20.00 m including 34.60 g/t gold
            over 1.00 m

The drill results reported today are from nine holes drilled on three sections on the eastern portion of the Upper Hallnor Mine area.  Drilling intersected multiple zones of vein and vein stockworks which occur primarily in Timiskaming sedimentary rocks that hosted the Upper Hallnor mine horizons; the zones of gold mineralization are open in all directions.  Significant results are shown in Table 1.

A total of 52 holes for 15,100 metres have been drilled to date in this campaign which is designed to define gold resources that may be mined near surface.  Drill results will be reported over the next several months as the assays are received by the Company.

Whitney is an advanced gold project that includes 4 km of the prolific Timmins gold trend that has been mined for 100 years and remains the largest gold producing district of Canada. The Whitney property contains numerous near-surface gold targets including the Upper Hallnor; Upper Broulan Reef, C Zone, and Q Zone. The current drill program is being conducted under the joint venture between Temex (60%; operator) and Goldcorp Canada Ltd. (40%).

Notes: Temex implemented a quality control (QA/QC) program to ensure best practice in sampling and analysis.  Samples of split NQ-size core are transported by Company personnel in securely sealed bags for preparation and analysis at ALS Chemex facilities.  The remaining half of the core is kept as a permanent record and stored at a secure facility in Timmins.  ALS Chemex is an ISO9001-2008 and ISO 17025-2005 registered laboratory.  Core samples are analyzed for gold using a 30 gram fire assay with an AA finish and by gravimetric methods.  Samples observed by Company personnel to contain visible gold are assayed by metallic screen gold assay.  Intervals reported are core lengths.  True widths are unknown at this time.  Estimates if reported are historical in nature and are not in compliance with NI 43-101 'Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Deposits' and therefore should not be relied upon.
