Margaux Reports Additional Drilling Results
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Nov 6, 2014) - On November 5, 2014, Margaux Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MRL) ("Margaux" or the "Company") reported drill results for the first ten drill holes completed on its 2014 drill program on its Jersey-Emerald Tungsten Property (the "Property") near Salmo, B.C.
Drill hole E1411 was designed to continue testing the tungsten ("WO3") mineralized target, similar to holes E1401 through E1410 (see News Release dated November 5, 2014). Hole E1411 intersected altered granitic rocks, with mineralization different from the skarn that hosts the majority of the tungsten on the Property. The granitic rock contains significant bismuthinite, with associated gold as seen in the table below:
HoleID | UTMX (m) | UTMY (m) | Z (m ASL) | Dip | Az | From (m) | To (m) | Length* (m) | Au (g/t) | WO3 ** (%) | |
E1411 | 483954 | 5439795 | 1389 | -90 | 0 | 116.80 | 127.00 | 10.20 | 24.98 | ||
Incl | 118.20 | 118.80 | 0.60 | 55.40 | 0.46 | ||||||
Incl | 120.70 | 122.40 | 1.70 | 63.71 | |||||||
Incl | 123.10 | 125.00 | 1.90 | 58.74 |
* | The true widths of the mineralized intercepts may be less than the drilled lengths reported. |
Further interpretation using all drilling results is required to determine the true widths. | |
** | WO3 calculated as W x 1.2611 |
This gold intercept continues to provide evidence that the property has potential to host gold, similar to the Bismuth-Gold zone documented in the Company's 43-101 technical report (the "Report") dated March 15, 2014 and filed on SEDAR March 31, 2014. The Company is encouraged by the results of this hole and while drill hole E1411, as a single stand-alone hole, does not provide enough information to assess the size of this gold mineralization, it anticipates exploring this area in further detail in the future.
Qualified Person
The Company's 2014 drilling program at the East Emerald Project was conducted under the supervision of Mr. Edward Lawrence, P.Eng, who is the Company's Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. He has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure contained in this news release as applicable.
Quality Assurance and Quality Control ("QA/QC") Procedures
Drill core is logged and photographed at a secure building on the property. Mineralized intervals were halved using a manual core splitter, and sampled at site. The remainder of the core was kept in the box as a permanent record. Samples were placed into sealed bags that were delivered by a commercial trucking company to the AcmeLabs facility in North Vancouver, British Columbia.
The samples were assayed for tungsten and 36 other elements using aqua regia digestion with an ICP-MS finish. Over-grade tungsten was analyzed using a phosphoric acid leach with an ICP-ES finish, and over-grade molybdenum, lead, and zinc were analyzed using a four acid digestion with an ICP-ES finish. Over-grade gold was analyzed using a 30 g fire assay with an ICP-ES finish.
Margaux has implemented a rigorous industry-standard QA/QC program that includes the blind insertion of certified reference materials, duplicates, and blanks into the sample stream.
About Margaux Resources Ltd.: Margaux is based in Calgary, Alberta and a publicly traded resource company with oil and gas exploration and production and an option on the Jersey Emerald Tungsten-Zinc Property near Salmo, British Columbia.
