Panex Enters into Agreement to Acquire Highly Prospective Gold Project in the Moto Gold Belt, Democratic Republic of Congo

Marketwired
Panex Resources Incorporated (the "Company," or "Panex")
(OTCQB:DBGF), is pleased to announce that it has entered into an
agreement with Amani Consulting SPRL to acquire a 65% interest in a
group of two tenements (Exploitation Licences 5046 and 5049) which
cover 610sq km of prospective ground in the Oriental Province,
northeast Democratic Republic of Congo, Central Africa. The
tenements are located within thirty kilometers to the west of
Randgold Resources' multi-million ounce Kibali Gold deposits as
shown in Figure 1. Both projects occur within the Kilo-Moto Belt in
one of the world's principal greenstone belts which hosts Anglogold
Ashanti's deposits to the east, Loncore and Kilogold deposits to
the south and 50Moz of gold discovered in Tanzania since 1994.
The Giro Project area is underlain by highly prospective
volcano-sedimentary lithologies in a similar structural and
lithological setting as the Kibali gold deposits. Both primary and
alluvial gold was mined from two main areas, the Giro and Tora
areas, during Belgian rule and today these areas are mined
extensively by artisanal miners.
At Giro, the Belgians mined two quartz veins at the Giro
deposit, the Giro quartz vein which trends to the northwest and the
Kibigada vein which trends to the northeast withr a combined
strikelength of 500m. They also mined elluvial gravels over an area
of 700m x 400m where mined grades were 0.25 - 2g/t Au. Deep
artisanal workings cover a distance of 2km on two apparent
northwest trending shear zones potentially offset by the Kibigada
structure. Mineralisation at Giro is potentially from surface and
extends over more than 2km.
The Mangote and Kai-Kai Belgian workings lie on a major
west-east structure parallel to the younger gneissic contact to the
north over a minimum of 3km at Tora. A number of Belgian drill
sections across the mined areas recorded grades of 0.8m @ 21.6g/t
Au, 0.6m @ 37g/t Au, 0.35m @ 485g/t Au and 0.2m @ 85.2g/t Au. There
is no record of methods used to analyse samples and it should be
noted that only quartz veins were sampled historically with no
available information on wallrock potential.
At least three additional extensive alluvial workings occur
within the project area confirming the potential for new discovery
of primary mineralized targets.
The area has not been explored for over 50 years (since the
Belgian colonial era) and has never been subjected to modern
exploration.
The Company is targeting broad mineralised shear structures with
excellent potential to host multi-million ounce gold resources from
surface from at least 5 target areas within the project.
