Micrex Development Corp.: Deadwood Gold/Silver Mine Update
18 November 2011 - 3:21AM
Marketwired
Micrex Development Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MIX) is pleased to announce
that it has contracted Geotech Ltd. of Aurora, Ontario to complete
a helicopter-borne VTEM electromagnetic and magnetic geophysical
survey of the Deadwood-Sunburst Property, New Mexico, which covers
the historic Deadwood Mine and surrounding area.
Geophysical data from this survey will be integrated with
historic information from the property and will in part assist with
future drill programs. The company anticipates that the survey will
be completed prior to month end, and additional data will be
released as it is received.
The historic Deadwood Mine was developed upon an extensive
continuous vein system, which merges within the southern part of
the property. At Deadwood at least two shafts up to 180 m deep were
developed, as well as several level drifts with widths up to
several meters and strike lengths up to 300 metres. Historical
reports indicate average grades of material removed from the mines,
prior to their being shut down during World War II, at
approximately 0.127 oz/ton Au (Gold) and 6.96 oz/ton Ag (Silver).
Micrex has not confirmed historical grade or width information.
During 2007, a single diamond drill hole (DW07-01) was completed
at Deadwood to a depth of 189.28 meters. The hole was intended to
undercut the historic mineralization at Deadwood Mine; however, due
to drilling complications, it did not reach the intended target
depth. For DW07-01, the interval from 122.83 to 188.21 m (65.38 m)
intersected 0.49 g/t Au and 28.19 g/t Ag (1.10 g/t Au
equivalent(i)) The hole was prematurely ended within the fault/vein
zone; therefore, mineralization is considered open at depth.
DW07-01 intersected fine-grained, disseminated pyrite,
argentite/acanthite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, and galena within
silicified and/or brecciated volcanic rocks, and quartz/calcite
veins ranging from a few centimetres to several metres in size.
Fluorite and/or amethyst are also present in several of the veins
and breccias, as well as box-work textures of calcite. In addition
to the historic mineralization mined at Deadwood, this interval
attests to the potential of the system to host large intervals of
low grade Au-Ag mineralization.

metallurgical recoveries assumed to be 100 per cent).
Micrex has retained Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. of
Edmonton, Alberta to oversee this project.
