WEX Western Exploration Inc

TORONTO, July 29 /CNW/ -- TORONTO, July 29 /CNW/ - Win-Eldrich Mines Limited (TSXV- WEX) ("Win-Eldrich" or the "Company") announces that it has spent the past five months developing access to the lower ore blocks defined in the 2008 NI 43-101 technical report via a 1500 foot extension of the primary decline. Based on this report, the lower ore blocks contain 47,602 tons of proven reserves with an average molybdenum grade of 2.91% (2,773,908 lbs). In June our new decline intersected the Sylvia vein at or below the lowest drill hole interval that defined these lower ore blocks, and in the past few days the Company has begun to mine this reserve. The average molybdenum grade of three grab samples from the initial intersection was 3.0%, which tends to support the average grade of 2.91% from the 2008 43-101 technical report which was based on numerous drill holes. From this level the Company has access to 225 feet along the dip and about 300 feet along the strike of the eight foot wide vein, which could allow for more than a year of full production at 100 tons per day. The Company also granted an option to purchase 25,000 common shares to each of its five directors, and an option to purchase 75,000 common shares to each of three key employees and an officer of the Company, exercisable at a price of $0.29 per share for five years.
