Access Wire
Bedford, Nova Scotia - October 28, 2013 - NSX
Silver Inc. (NSY: TSXV) reports that it has
acquired by request to the Mexican government two mining
concessions covering a total of 856 hectares located in the
Municipality of Tecoripa, State of Sonora, Mexico. The mining
concessions, designated Guisa 1 and Guisa 2, are contiguous, and
are situated approximately 140 kilometers east of the capital city
of Hermosillo.
The
Guisa concessions are on the eastern flank of the
porphyry copper system that hosts the Cerro Verde Copper project
and a number of other porphyry deposits. Porphyry copper deposits
may host gold and silver deposits on their margins. Three of ten
grab samples taken on the Guisa concessions during NSX Silver's
initial prospecting phase returned values of significance as
detailed below.
--------------------------------------
|Sample #| |Gold (gpt)| |Silver (gpt)|
|------------------------------------|
| | | | | |
|------------------------------------|
|325765 | |0.216 | |31.0 |
|------------------------------------|
|325766 | |0.351 | |80.2 |
|------------------------------------|
|325767 | |0.100 | |22.8 |
--------------------------------------
Mineralization occurs
over a wide area and is not limited to distinct veins but is found
in stringers in the host andesites (volcanic rocks). Most of the
Guisa concessions are covered by these
volcanics which NSX Silver considers to be a more favourable target
than the adjacent granites. The Guisa concessions have not been
mapped in any detail and will be subject to a Phase 1 work program
incorporating a systematic geochemical survey as well as geologic
mapping.
NSX Silver personnel continue to
evaluate other acquisition opportunities in Sonora and elsewhere in
Mexico. Additional acquisitions will be announced as and when
completed.
Oso Blanco
Property
NSX Silver's core asset is the Oso
Blanco Property located in Sonora, Mexico located midway between
the cities of Hermosillo and Chihuahua. Geological
mapping and geochemical sampling completed to date have identified
several anomalous zones. Sampling has returned significant precious
and base metals values with the highest precious metal values being
2,030 grams per tonne silver and 9.4 grams per tonne gold. None of
the mineralized showings have yet been drill tested.
The Oso Blanco Property is situated
in the Sierra Madre Occidental ("SMO") in a cretaceous volcanic
suite, which is regionally denoted as the "Lower Volcanic
Sequence". These rocks are overlain and completely covered to the
East by a tertiary sequence of rhyolite tuffs and basalts
regionally known as the "Upper Volcanic Sequence". The interface
between these sequences, and in particular the upper parts of the
Lower Volcanic Sequence, is the host environment for several
significant gold and silver districts including the nearby
Sahuaripa, Mulatos, Dolores and Ocampo Districts and further south
the El Sauzal discovery. The geologic setting of these deposits
varies but they all occur at or within this highly prospective
interface.
Sample
Protocol
Rock chip samples were taken and
bagged, sealed and numbered on site. The sealed samples were
transported by Company personnel to ALS Chemex's preparation lab in
Hermosillo then forwarded to ALS labs in Vancouver BC for testing
using the ICP-61 protocols.
