VANCOUVER, BC / TheNewswire / May 19, 2017 - Goldex Resources Corporation (TSX VENTURE: GDX) ("Goldex" or the "Company") today is pleased to announce that the Company's geologist has identified multiple additional exciting exploration opportunities within the Company's concessions and identified regional exploration prospects.
While continuing to work closely with the Guatemala Ministry of Energy & Mines to get approval for a mining license the Company plans to do additional exploration work on El Pato's Northern zones that have shown multiple surface samples of up to 410 g/t of gold. The four Northern zone areas sampled El Poxte, El Jabillo, Plan de Guineo and El Pital lie roughly 1-2 km north and north east of the principal zones of El Pato within a similar geological environment, namely granodiorite host rock with epithermal banded quartz veins that contain pyrite and arsenopyrite. Veins are 0.15m to 1.5m in true thickness and trend northwest to north-northwest with low dip angles (20-35 degrees) to the northeast. Surface samples were taken by Alejandro Cacao, Goldex's senior Guatemalan geologist and Steven Park, a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. (see press release, April 4th, 2012).
The samples taken show the presence of very high grade gold numbers as well as significant silver grades. Out of the 58 samples taken, eight reported grades higher than 100 g/t Au with the highest value at 410 g/t Au. The sheer number of high grade samples suggests an exciting region for further exploration.

Samples were assayed by utilizing 30-gram fire assays with a gravimetric finish for gold and four acid digestion with atomic absorption finish for Silver. Grab samples are selective and may not be representative of mineralization on the property. The 58 samples taken include both float and outcrop rock chips of which six samples showed no significant results and are not listed. Float samples are denoted by a sample number ending with 'F'. Assays marked with an SP denotes Steve Park sampling while those marked with an AC denotes Mr. Cacao's. *Mr. Park did not sample in the El Pital area. (see press release, April 4th, 2012).
In addition to the potential of the Northern zones, Goldex also has multiple targets with strongly anomalous gold and/or base metals at the surface. One of those targets, Bendicion-Granadillas borders El Pato to the south and is larger in terms of size of its alteration system than the El Pato zone. To date this zone has produced surface samples containing grades up to 6855 ppm copper, 7055 ppm lead and 5298 ppm zinc from limited surface outcrop sampling. Comparable orogenic deposits in terms of origin, geochemistry of gold mineralization and geometry are the Molejon deposit in Panama (1 M oz), the El Sastre deposit in Guatemala (0.8 M oz.) and the Pogo deposit in Alaska (5.8 M oz.).
