Drilling Starts at Pasfield Lake, Saskatchewan
=======================================================================
Vancouver, BC - Triex Minerals Corporation (TXM-TSX.V) (the "Company")
is pleased to announce that drilling is now underway at the Pasfield
Lake property in the Athabasca Basin, Saskatchewan. Property details,
including ownership, location maps and results from previous programs
are available on the Company's website at www.triexminerals.com.
Northwest
Diamond Drilling of Manitoba has been contracted to complete
the current program, which is expected to last six to eight weeks.
Targets will be tested on both the southeast side of Pasfield Lake
where the Cable Bay Shear Zone has never been drill tested before, and
on the northwest side of the lake where the Company completed two
previous drill programs in 2007. Drill targets are based on the
integration of geological features (uplift block), regional shear
zones, geochemical anomalies, and geophysical features, including
basement conductors, gravity lows and changes in near-surface
resistivity.
This drill program follows up on three successful ground programs
completed in 2008, all of which refined existing targets and delineated
new ones. Approximately 70 line-kilometres of transient magnetotelluric
surveys (AMT) were completed in April, both infilling and extending a
previous survey. In June, a 140 line-kilometre airborne 3-D Full Tensor
gravity gradient survey was completed to augment a prior survey and
provide more detail for forward-modeled gravity profiles across the
margins of the basement uplift block at Pasfield Lake. A systematic
soil and bio-geochemical survey (>1,000 samples on 9 lines) was carried
out in July on the east side of the lake, which defined a significant
anomaly (multiple elements in multiple samples from multiple lines)
between the shear zone and the margin of the uplift block.
