Orex Exploration Inc.: Corporate Update
16 December 2011 - 12:30AM
Marketwired Canada
OREX EXPLORATION INC. (TSX VENTURE:OX)(FRANKFURT:O5D) would like to provide
shareholders with the following corporate update.
As indicated in our news release of September 29, 2011, the results from the
2010 and 2011 drilling campaigns demonstrate the presence of gold mineralization
across our Goldboro Gold Property in the form of numerous, narrow high-grade
gold veins. These two drilling campaigns added drilling on 1 additional km of
strike length on which no works were realized before; after these campaigns,
Orex Exploration has now drilled along the entire 2.5 km strike length of the
Goldboro Gold Property. Furthermore, these drilling results suggest a deposit
potentially mineable by selective underground methods focussed on the veins or
by a shallow open pit operation.
The following are selected highlights of the 2010 and 2011 drilling campaigns,
which have been previously presented in past news releases of the Company:
