Micrex Development Corp.: Drilling Program Completed at St. Charles Québec

Marketwired Canada
Micrex Development Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MIX) is pleased to announce it has
completed the last 5 holes which were added to the initial 14-hole campaign and
aimed to test the northward and southward extension of the "Grand Saguenay"
apatite-ilmenite bearing magnetite mineralization. The program thus totals 19
holes for 3185.1 metres on the wholly-owned St Charles magnetite project.
Table 1 presents a summary of mineralized intersections from the 19 holes. The
location of the holes is presented in map 1. The holes SB-11-17, SB-12-18 and
SB-12-19, recently completed, intersected the northern extension of the
magnetite layer and confirmed the existence of a second layer, between 5 to 10
metres thick, less than 100m west of the main body. The mineralization remains
open laterally to the north and at depth.
494 core samples, typically 3 metres in length, were cut with a diamond saw and
shipped to ALS-Minerals, an ISO-17025 accredited laboratory. The samples are
being assayed for iron, titanium and phosphorous using the X-Ray Fluorescence
(XRF) method. Also, 320 of these samples are currently being processed in the
IOS laboratory for magnetite recovery by Davis tube testing and density
measurement. Upon receipt of assay results, Micrex intends to proceed with a
resource estimate for the main magnetite layer.
The president of Micrex, Mr. Stan Marshall, states "I am very pleased with the
completion of the drilling and look forward to receiving the 43-101 compliant
resource figures". In the meantime, samples of the mineralized material have
been sent to prospective customers for assays and private evaluation, with
acceptance expected shortly.
The St-Charles project aims to produce Ti-magnetite for industrial purposes,
with a co-production of ilmenite for the titanium dioxide industry and apatite
for the phosphate industry. Ti-magnetite concentrates are currently being tested
for various applications by potential clients. Micrex has not completed a
preliminary economic on this project.
This press release has been reviewed and approved by Mr Rejean Girard, P.Geo,
qualified person for the St-Charles project.
