Apex Resources Confirms High Grade Gold Assays at Ore Hill

18.03.2019  |  The Newswire
Vancouver, March 18, 2019 - Apex Resources Inc. ("Apex") (TSXV: APX) is pleased to announce that its data compilation for the Ore Hill Property has confirmed the reported 1,500 metres long by up to 150 metres wide gold soil anomaly reported from previous exploration work. Numerous grab samples returned high-grade gold assays, including 119.0 g/t and 105.0 g/t, demonstrating widespread mineralization on the property. The Ore Hill property is located 15 km east of the community of Salmo in southeastern British Columbia.

Apex has now reviewed historic assessment reports and compiled the recent database and laboratory assay sheets for the Ore Hill project. The database indicates that in total 90 rock samples were taken for assay during the three-year period from 2016 to 2018. The previous operator, Margaux Resources Inc., obtained assays for 88 rock samples in their 2017-2018 exploration programs. Assays were also obtained for two rock samples taken by the property vendor in 2016. The rock sampling database indicates that 35 of the 90 rock samples returned gold values of 1.0 gram per tonne (g/t) or better. Samples also contained significant silver values, along with some samples containing significant lead and zinc concentrations.

The following table and figure summarize the 35 samples that assayed greater than 1.0 g/t Au.

Thirty-three samples reported in this release were obtained by Margaux Resources Ltd. and were primarily grab samples collected from outcrop or from the dumps of historic workings. Grab samples are designed to show the presence or absence of mineralization and to characterize mineralization. They are not intended to provide a representative indication of average grade of mineralization.

The results show that many of the high-grade samples occur along a gold-bearing crackle zone, up to 10 m wide, associated with a north-northeast-trending fault zone. The fault marks the contact between a quartzite formation and a limestone formation both of Lower Cambrian age. Near the north end of the sample area several parallel trends are observed suggesting there may be multiple shear zones on the property. This style of mineralization is distinctly different from the narrow high-grade gold veins that were worked historically. Historical production from the Ore Hill property is as follows: Summit: 1,205 tons averaging 0.72 oz/t Au, 1.01 oz/t Ag, 1.25% Pb, 1.18% Zn and Ore Hill: 2,470 tons averaging 1.15 oz/t Au, 2.19 oz/t Ag, 3.58% Pb, 3.37% Zn (BC Minfile 82FSW054 & 082FSW053).

The Ore Hill property overlies the south end of the Sheep Creek Gold District ("SCGD"). The district has historical gold production of 785,000 ounces at an average grade of 14.4 g/t gold from multiple high-grade orogenic gold veins. The SCGD is the third largest past-producing orogenic gold district in British Columbia. There are seven major historic gold districts within the Cordillera Region. They include the Motherlode District in California, the Bralorne, Cariboo, and SCGD in British Columbia, the Klondike/White Gold District of the Yukon, and the Juneau and Nome Districts in Alaska. Gold mineralization related to the Cordilleran orogeny has potential for both high-grade veins and bulk tonnage deposition.

In the historic SCGD, mining was directed at high-grade gold-bearing veins. The bulk tonnage potential was not previously investigated. Apex has applied for a 5-year area-based exploration permit including trenching and diamond drilling on the Ore Hill property.
