Pershimex Announces the Signing of a Letter of Intent for the Custom Milling of the Bulk Sample of 5,000 Tons From the Pershing-Manitou Site With the Sleeping Giant Mill of Abcourt Mines Inc.
09 February 2022 - 12:30AM
Pershimex Resource Corporation
("
Pershimex" or the
"
Company") (TSX VENTURE:
PRO) is
pleased to announce the signing of a letter of intent (signed on
January 28th 2022) for the custom milling of the bulk sample of
5,000 tons from the Pershing-Manitou site, Courville property, with
the Sleeping Giant mill owned by Abcourt Mines Inc.. This letter of
intent was the last document required to finalize applications for
bulk sampling and site restoration authorization from the
government. The bulk sampling request involves the extraction of
5,000 tons of mineralized material from the surface crown pillar of
the former Pershing-Manitou gold mine. This volume of material will
be taken from the volume previously defined by the recent Mineral
Resource Estimate (MRE).
Indeed, the MRE
report filed on SEDAR on January 24, 2022 (NI 43-101 Technical
Report and Mineral Resources Estimate for the Pershing-Manitou
Project, Abitibi, Quebec, K. Williamson, 3DGeo Solution Inc.)
confirms the presence of 9,200 tons grading at 7.2 g/t Au, for a
total of 2,100 ounces of gold in the measured
category. To define this category of resources, Pershimex
invested less than $1 million on the field and completed
approximately 3,000 meters of drilling.
The extraction of the bulk will allow Pershimex
to confirm its exploration model while generating a possible profit
on this operation. The technical data collected will be used to
maximize future development work and thus increase the value of
each ounce of gold at the Pershing-Manitou deposit.
President Statement
Robert Gagnon, President and Chief
Executive Officer of the Company, declares: "The signing
of this letter of intent for custom milling with Abcourt Mines
Inc., is the culmination of more than 3 years of sustained efforts,
which started with the discovery of some native gold flakes in a
pile of 2,000 tons of material deemed sterile. The pile covered all
of the mineralization contained in the surface crown pillar of the
former Pershing-Manitou gold mine. It had to be removed and
processed in a milling plant in the region in order to be able, to
see the extent of the mineralized system exposed on the
surface."

Gagnon, Professional Geologist, and President of Pershimex, a
