V.SXG Samex Mining $1.96 Samex is right on schedule! Samex's results this year, from their Santa Isabel and Walter Projects in Bolivia, indicate economical mining potential. Gold, copper, zinc and related metals exist in porphyry and vein systems on several of their properties. All SXG needs is to prove up one major pay zone, which we feel should come as their drilling program progresses this winter. SXG made new highs at $7.20, earlier this year, when gold and copper prices were higher and related stocks were running. We plan to take a position in SXG over the next month, in anticipation of the usual Jan. to May mining stock run in '97. 1-800-828-1488 email: samex@direct.ca
November 22, 1996 News Release * DRILL PROGRAM AT WALTER GOLD/POLYMETALLIC PROJECT * MANAGER OF GEOLOGICAL & TECHNICAL SERVICES APPOINTED * EMPLOYEE STOCK OPTION GRANTED
A drill rig has arrived at the Walter Gold/Polymetallic Project in Bolivia and a 2,000 meter core drilling program will commence shortly. Veins and porphyry intrusions on the property host gold, silver, zinc, lead, copper, arsenic, and bismuth (see Analytical Results - News Release #17 - October 25, 1996). Veins in the Walter South zone have an average grade of 0.36 ounces per tonne gold equivalent based on the combined metal value of the gold, silver and base metals. The dacite porphyry intrusion averages 1.1 grams gold/tonne, 28 grams silver/tonne and 5.6% zinc. Sampling at surface and underground suggests that grades in the intrusion could increase with depth.
A total of eighteen "Bolivian-style" polymetallic veins have now been discovered within the vein swarm at the Walter South zone. Ongoing underground exploration at Walter South is currently expanding vein reserves in drifts and crosscuts at depths up to 100 meters below surface. The drill program is designed to test the continuity of the veins and intrusion to 350 meters depth. If successful, underground drifting will begin at deeper levels to further expand reserves. Other "Bolivian-style" polymetallic vein systems in this region are known for their persistent mineable mineralization to depths of 900 meters and lateral distances of up to 2 kilometers along strike. Veins at Walter South can be traced for 2 kilometers to the Walter Central area where more than a dozen veins with similar metallic content and grade are exposed along with a dacite porphyry intrusion. This extensive vein strike-length is indicative of the significant tonnage potential of the Walter property.
The Company is pleased to announce the appointment of Nancy Sinnott M.Sc., P.Geo, as Manager of Geological & Technical Services at the Company's corporate office in Vancouver.
