Margaux Resources Ltd. to Commence Ground-Based Geophysical Survey on its Kootenay Arc Zinc District

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 Vice 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 required 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 that 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 pulverized 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.
