PJX Resources - Sullivan Mining District - Intrusive Related Gold, Copper, Cobalt Target Identified on the Eddy Property

TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / November 22, 2021 / PJX Resources Inc. ("PJX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that compilation of historical data and recent work have identified gold, copper, and cobalt mineralized zones above what may be a series of intrusives at depth on its Eddy Property. The 4km by 5km target area has potential to host intrusive related copper, gold, and cobalt type deposits as well as orogenic type gold deposits. Possible intrusives at depth are defined by ring shaped features identified by an airborne magnetic survey flown for PJX.

This new target area, called the Wuho Creek target, occurs on the northern part of PJX's Eddy Property located in the Vulcan Gold Belt of the Sullivan Mining District near Cranbrook, southeastern British Columbia, Canada.

Copper, silver, cobalt and gold mineralization in a 2007 drill hole in conjunction with iron-oxide breccia outcrops with gold mineralization, cobalt in stream sediments, and large clay altered areas at surface support the potential to also discover a possible IOCG (Iron-Oxide-Copper-Gold) type deposit at depth. The Olympic Dam mine, in Australia, is an example of an IOCG type deposit.

Highlights

• Historical hole (Z-07-01) drilled in 2007 by previous explorers on the Zeus zone in the Wuho target area intersected 10m of 1.23% copper within a broader 57m (116-173m) interval of 0.60% Copper, 3.8 g/t silver, 87 g/t bismuth, 36 ppb gold, 64 ppb cobalt. (see photo A below).
• Copper, silver, cobalt and gold mineralization occur within tectonized and intensely altered sediments with quartz, albite, abundant pyrite, and local chalcopyrite from 69.8-219.4m in hole Z-07-01.
• Highest gold (517.1ppb) and cobalt (266.4ppm) as an individual analysis was from 218.5 to 219.4m.
• VTEM airborne magnetic survey flown for PJX has identified ring shaped features that may represent ring structures formed by collapsed intrusives at depth. (Figure 1 below)
• Large mineralizing systems that form large deposits can occur where multiple phases of intrusives have collapsed at depth and release fluids and gas that transport gold, copper and other elements which can become trapped in the top of the intrusive or proximal country rocks and form deposits.
• One large primary ring feature (approximately 4 km diameter) appears to be disrupted by a secondary ring feature (approximately 1.5 km diameter).
• Within and peripheral to the primary ring feature is additional evidence in support of a large mineralizing system that could form gold, copper and cobalt deposits. (Figure 2 below)
  • Large clay altered zones suggest areas where fluids have passed through the rocks from a possible mineralizing system at depth.
• Rock grab sample of the Coronation iron-oxide breccia taken by prospectors working with PJX analyzed 7 g/t gold.
• Five of ten historical rock grab samples by prospectors of the Big iron-oxide breccia returned values ranging from 40 to 633 ppb gold with a sixth sample analyzing 13,650 ppb (13.65 g/t) gold.
• Historical heavy stream samples with over 200ppm cobalt occur in Wuho Creek.
• Gold and iron-oxide occurrences are found along major structures (Palmer Bar and Baldy faults) on the margins of the ring features. These structures provide additional pathways for gold, copper, silver, and cobalt mineralizing fluids.
• Multiple ring features/structures support potential for multiple phases of intrusives that can be beneficial in increasing and focusing fluids to form gold and copper deposits.
• Zeus zone occurs along the intersection of the possible primary and secondary ring structures.

PJX plans to determine if the Zeus zone has a preferred orientation (strike and dip) to help vector toward additional mineralization. Geophysics and soil sampling surveys are also planned to define additional drill targets in the large clay altered zones and possible ring structures on strike with the Zeus zone.

"The Wuho Creek copper, silver, gold, cobalt target is one of a number of large mineralized areas with deposit potential that PJX has identified in the Sullivan Mining District." states John Keating, President and CEO of PJX Resources. "We've consolidated the largest land package along with historical data in the mining camp to be able to effectively use new exploration techniques, technologies, and computer modelling to identify large new targets with deposit potential that were missed in the past.

We recently announced the Gar granitic intrusive target with grab samples of sheeted veins ranging from anomalous to 28,841 ppb (28.84 g/t) gold on our Zinger Property (see August 17, 2021 press release), as well as the Tackle Creek gold target area and Lewis Ridge gold, copper, zinc, lead, silver target area that are both on our Dewdney Trail Property (see September 16, 2021 press release).

Drilling to test along strike of the high grade David Gold Zone on our Gold Shear Property was completed in October with assay results expected to be available in the new year.

2021 has been a busy and promising field season. We believe the Sullivan Mining District has potential to host multiple gold and base metal deposits. We invite you to watch our 3 minute video explaining why." (https://youtu.be/iCbzQDi6ANo or www.pjxresources.com).
