Pasinex Resources Limited (CNSX: PSE) (FSE: PNX) is pleased to announce that is has initiated a ground magnetics survey of the entire Golcuk licence.
Figure 1 below shows the extent of the survey already completed, together with the outline of a much smaller magnetic survey carried out in 2008 by the previous owner of the licence.
The purpose of the survey is to aid in geological mapping of the licence, and, in particular, to throw light on any structures which may be controlling the bedrock copper mineralization present at at least five different sites within the Golcuk licence. While one of these sites, the Golcuk Main Prospect, has been known for centuries, and one, Golcuk West, was documented by the previous owners of the licence, three new sites of bedrock copper mineralization have been found on the Golcuk licence by Pasinex in the last six months (Figure 1). These are the Golcuk South Prospect (found in June 2013, and described in a news releases dated July 11 and September 25, 2013), the Bayram Prospect (found in August 2013) and the Baykus Prospect (found in November, 2013).
The Bayram Prospect lies approximately 1.3 kilometers northwest of Golcuk South (Figure 1) and presents itself as malachite and lesser bornite and azurite mineralization in basalt outcropping discontinuously over a distance of approximately 800 meters. Figure 2 shows copper levels in a combination of outcrop chip and channel samples at Bayram, as determined by Niton XRF in Pasinex's laboratory in Horzum. Bayram is also only 700 meters southwest of the Golcuk West Prospect, to which it may be structurally related. It is hoped that the current magnetic survey will make clear this relationship, should it exist.
The Baykus Prospect lies 1.2 kilometers to the north east of the Golcuk Main Prospect (Figure 1), and is characterized by malachite and lesser bornite in basalt. The lateral extent of this mineralization is still being determined.
Since the last news release describing the Golcuk South Prospect, Pasinex has completed channel sampling on another three outcrops at the prospect (Figure 3), according to the methods described in the news release dated September 25, 2013.
While the relatively high copper levels in the new channel averages (0.78 to 1.41% copper) are encouraging, un-mineralised outcrop is also present in the area of the sampling. Trenching and drilling through the soil cover between the channel-sampled outcrops is necessary to establish whether mineable volumes of bedrock are present in the area, and arrangements are ongoing in this regard.
Steve Williams, CEO of Pasinex comments: "The Golcuk project continues to advance for Pasinex with new mineralized areas found and some very encouraging channel sample results from Golcuk South. Pasinex look forward to taking the Golcuk project to the next level with trenching and drilling planned for 2014."
Clinton Smyth, P.Geo and VP Exploration for Pasinex, is the qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 who has verified the written disclosure of all scientific and technical information in this news release.
