VANCOUVER, BC / TheNewswire / May 23, 2017 - Goldex Resources Corporation (TSX VENTURE: GDX; Frankfurt: WKN-A2AEDT, Ticker: G6T2) ("Goldex" or the "Company") is pleased to announce it has entered into a Letter of Intent (LOI) with Mingeo International S.A. De C.V. (the "Vendor") for an option to acquire a fifty-one per cent (51%) interest in the Mingeo Property (the "Property") by spending US$500,000 by April 30, 2020 and another US$500,000 by April 30, 2022 or by bringing the property into production and fulfilling certain LOI obligations. The Property consists of six concessions totaling approximately 1947 hectares and is located within the major porphyry belt of Sonora.
Mingeo Project Highlights
The deposit lies within the carbonate rocks of the Mural or Morita Formation Cretaceous siltstones and Paleozoic carbonate sedimentary rocks of the Sonoran Bisbee-Cananea rift basin.
One of the main mineralized structures consists of a low angle dipping quartz epithermal vein/manto with approximately 15 ? to 20 ? dip to the NE and a thickness that ranges from 0.50 to approximately 3 metres. Mineralization has been observed to comprise medium grained disseminated pyrite, arsenopyrite, minor chalcopyrite and rare galena. Gangue minerals include quartz, calcite, and barite. Gold and silver values are believed to be associated with arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite and pyrite.
At this time two quartz vein/manto structures have been identified above and more below the main mineralized structure, but these other structures are yet to be explored in more detail. Several of these structures have been observed to continue along strike between 500 to approximately 1000 meters and show small old workings in the form of pits or adits. The vein/mantos are hosted within altered shales that in places may be highly fractured and/or may exhibit quartz stockwork veinlets and occasionally may have stains of copper carbonates.
Preliminary Metallurgical testing of seven samples of the quartz vein/manto material was carried out in 2013 by Kappes, Cassiday and Associates (KCA, Reno, NV) and their report indicated yields up to 96% gold recovery and 69% silver recovery using cyanide shake tests. Gravimetric tests were not carried out on the samples submitted at that time.
