Amex drills 30.85 g/t Au over 6.35m in High-Grade Zone and Expands Denise

Jul 31, 2024


Amex Exploration Inc. is pleased to announce further drill results from the High-Grade Zone ("High-Grade Zone" or "HGZ") and Denise Zone ("Denise"), on the company's flagship Perron Project in the northwestern Abitibi region of Quebec. Today's results further define the High-Grade Zone and have expanded known mineralization of the Denise Zone at depth. Today's results will not make it into the Company's resource estimate, highlighting the immense growth potential that exists at the Perron project.

Highlights include:

High-Grade Zone

  • PE-21-347W5 returned 6.35 m of 30.85 g/t Au including 0.50 m of 342.10 g/t Au at a vertical depth of ~1100 m
  • PE-21-347W4 returned 7.80 m of 7.36 g/t Au including 0.70 m of 70.32 g/t Au at a vertical depth of ~970 m

Denise Zone

  • PE-20-186W2 returned 2.15 m of 16.58 g/t Au including 0.50 m of 66.35 g/t Au at a vertical depth of ~900 m
  • PE-21-347W5 returned 58.50 m of 0.71 g/t Au including 3.00 m of 8.31 g/t Au at a vertical depth of ~1150 m

Jacques Trottier, PhD, Executive Chairman of Amex Exploration commented, "Today's released drill holes were planned to target the depth extensions of the Denise mineralization on both sides of the central diabase dike. To reach these areas, the holes also traversed the High-Grade Zone, highlighting how proximal the two zones are to each other and providing us with further enhanced information about the HGZ through tighter drill spacing. Importantly, drill hole PE-20-186W2 at Denise West was designed to intercept a predicted mafic-ultramafic intrusion at depth to provide more geological information, but instead intercepted gold mineralization within the rhyolite, meaning the zone has much more room for growth to the west and at depth than originally thought."

Aaron Stone, P.Geo, Vice President Exploration of Amex Exploration continued, "Through the new interpretation of the Denise Mafic Intrusion (see Figure 4), the Amex team continues to see growth potential for resources at depth. This also opens up the possibility of reinterpretation of the same mafic intrusion in the High-Grade Zone, meaning a potential of more area for growth of the Western HGZ. We are also excited to target where the mafic intrusion and diabase dike are modelled to meet one another, to see if this could act as a trap for a pocket of very high-grade gold mineralization. We intend to test this target in the coming months along with other very interesting new targets elsewhere on the property."
