About TEMEX
TEMEX has several active exploratio
n projects in Ontario including ongoing land acquisitio
n and airborne geophysica
l surveying near the Noront Double Eagle Ni-Cu-PGE discovery in the Webequie area, as well as several surface exploratio
n and diamond drill programs on its precious and base metals projects.
Temex recently announced an update on its extensive activities and progress in the area of and immediatel
y adjacent to the Noront Double Eagle Ni-Cu-PGE discovery in the McFaulds Lake area of northern Ontario. Claim acquisitio
n has now been completed under a joint venture with MacDonald Mines Exploratio
n Ltd. ("Mac
Donald&quo
t;) however staking continues with other parties. A total of approximat
ely 1500 claim units covering some 24,000 hectares were acquired under the initial joint venture arrangemen
t. In some instances the claim boundaries are adjacent to the boundary of the Noront Double Eagle Property and in other instances the claims are well removed from the main Noront Property covering features thought to be geological environmen
ts similar to the Noront Ni-Cu-PGE discovery.
Based on the significan
t drill results reported by Noront, Temex and MacDonald have initiated an aggressive initial exploratio
n program on these extensive new properties consisting of a combinatio
n of ground and airborne geophysica
l surveying followed immediatel
y by diamond drilling. Airborne geophysica
l surveying has commenced and geophysica
l crews and support staff have been dispatched to the base of operations in the town of Webequie. Compilatio
n work suggests the claims acquired have never been subjected to any previous exploratio
n for Ni-Cu-PGE mineraliza
tion and for the most part the properties have not been covered by any kind of modern magnetic and electromag
netic geophysica
l survey. Limited available data indicates the presence of geophysica
l targets similar in scope to the geophysica
l features near the Double Eagle Ni-Cu-PGE discovery that warrant diamond drill testing. The diamond drill equipment required for the program is already on site and it is expected that drilling operations will commence in approximat
ely two weeks.
Temex is conducting diamond drilling on its precious metals properties located in northeaste
rn Ontario, with drill results pending on recently completed diamond drill programs on its Timmins Gold Project and on its Juby JV Gold Property in Tyrrell Township. Surface exploratio
n programs on both projects as well as the Gowganda Silver project is ongoing in preparatio
n for additional diamond drilling later this year and early in 2008. Additional
ly, Temex has just commenced a $1 million exploratio
n program on its Merico Ethel and Yarrow gold-coppe
r-uranium properties located near Elk Lake in which Uranium Star has an option to earn a 50% interest by funding 100% of the exploratio
n costs. A field program consisting of 5000 metres of diamond drilling and an extension surface exploratio
n program is underway.
