Cantex Announces Drill Confirmed Strike Extended To 2.6 km At Its Silver-lead-zinc-germanium Deposit On Its 100% Owned North Rackla Claims
KELOWNA, Sept. 9, 2024 - Cantex Mine Development Corp. (TSXV: CD) (OTCQB: CTXDF) (the "Company") is pleased to announce a substantial extension of the drill confirmed strike length of the Massive Sulphide Zone. Main Zone Drilling
Cantex is pleased to report that drilling has extended the Main Zone mineralization strike length by 250 metres to 2.6 kilometres. This is a substantial increase.
Since restarting work in late August Cantex has completed eight drill holes at the Discovery Sector of the Main Zone. Every hole has intersected the expected silver-lead-zinc +/- germanium mineralization. Consistent with previous drilling in this Sector the geologists logging the core report seeing up to 3% chalcopyrite (a copper sulphide) in the mineralized zones suggesting that this portion of the Main Zone may in fact be near the central feeder of the mineralization. If this is the case the mineralization has the potential to have significant additional strike extent to the northeast.
The location of the pads from which the 2024 drilling has been undertaken is shown in Figure 1. Cross sections showing the mineralization intersected from drill pads MZ53B and MZ60 are presented in Figures 2 and 3 respectively.
Drilling continues at the Discovery Sector of the Main Zone with two drills.
Summary
Cantex is pleased to have made a significant extension to the Main Zone mineralization. The Zone has now been drill confirmed over a strike length of 2.6 kilometres and to a depth of over 700 metres. The mineralization remains open along strike and to depth.
