YELLOWKNIFE, NORTHWEST TERRITORIES--(Marketwired - April 1, 2015) - TerraX Minerals Inc. (News - Market indicators)(OTC PINK:TRXXF)(FRANKFURT:TX0) TerraX has received assay results from a further 22 holes drilled at Crestaurum during the 2015 winter drill program now underway on the Yellowknife City Gold Project ("YCG") in the Northwest Territories. Four holes (TCR15-017 to 020) tested extensions of the high grade gold mineralization in the Central Shoot, which is the least explored of the Crestaurum high grade zones. Results from the Central Shoot included:

  • 5.00 m @ 5.29 g/t Au, inclusive of 3.00 m @ 7.98 g/t Au, in hole TCR15-019

Eight holes (TCR1-021 to 028) were drilled in an untested area along a 400 metre extension of the Crestaurum Zone north east of the North Extension Shoot. Results included:

  • 8.86 m @ 2.86 g/t Au, inclusive of 2.00 m @ 10.24 g/t Au, in hole TCR15-025

The Crestaurum Zone is a discrete shear striking northeast and dipping southeast. It has been followed on surface for approximately 4 km. It has been drilled over 1.2 km of strike length to a depth of approximately 100 m vertical from surface by approximately 200 drill holes. The shear consistently contains moderate to low grade gold, and the higher gold grade mineralized shoots within the shear contain quartz veins and minor sulphide mineralization. A total of 28 holes were completed on Crestaurum, for which assay results from the first six holes were reported on February 26 and March 11, 2015 and the remainder are reported here.

Central Shoot Drilling

Hole TCR15-019 tested down dip of hole 85-181 (3.00 m @ 12.79 g/t Au) and up dip of hole 85-183 (2.00 m @ 0.71 g/t Au) to help determine the down dip extent of the high grade shoot in this area. TCR15-019 intersected the high grade veining and returned 5.00 m @ 5.29 g/t Au, inclusive of 3.00 m @ 7.98 g/t Au, successfully extending the dip of the high grade shoot. A cross-section of this drill intercept is available under "2015 Field Exploration" on our website at www.terraxminerals.com

TCR15-017 intersected 1.00 m of 1.64 g/t, confirming that this area lies below the plunge of the high grade shoot. Holes TCR15-018 and 020 tested a similar area down dip of TCR15-017, intersecting a wider mineralized shear (6.27 m @ 0.73 g/t Au in TCR15-020) that indicates that the zone may be approaching a better mineralized shoot at depth. This will be tested with future drilling

Drilling in New Area north of North Extension Shoot

Eight holes were drilled along 400 m of untested Crestaurum Zone structure north of the North Extension Shoot. This drilling tested approximately 150 m of the structure starting more than 200 m north of the known North Extension mineralization (5.00 m @ 62.90 g/t Au in hole 85-150). This drilling confirmed that gold mineralization continues northeast beyond the known Crestaurum Zone, allowing the geological model of the zone to be extended to the north. Mineralized structure was intersected in all holes with indications of a potential high grade shoot located around holes TCR15-023 to 025. Highlights include:

  • 8.86 m @ 2.86 g/t Au, inclusive of 2.00 m @ 10.24 g/t Au, in hole TCR15-025
  • 3.50 m @ 2.22 g/t Au, in hole TCR15-023
  • 10.65 m @ 1.17 g/t Au, inclusive of 1.00 m @ 9.69 g/t Au, in hole TCR15-024

Drilling in New Area between the South and Central Shoots

Ten holes (TCR15-007 to 016) tested a 200 m strike length area between the South Shoot and the Central Shoot, an area only tested by widely spaced shallow (30-50 m vertical depth) holes drilled in 1945. TerraX tested this area with closer spaced and down dip holes to determine the potential for another high grade shoot between the South Shoot and the Central Shoot. All holes reported today hit the mineralized shear where expected, confirming that the structure is continuous through this area, and intercepting substantially thicker shear zones (up to 17.18 meters), multiple mineralized horizons, and zones of significantly higher grade than the shallow historical holes. The indications for a possible high grade shoot in the area are good, and will warrant more drilling in the future. Highlights in this new area included:

  • 2.80 m @ 3.34 g/t Au in hole TCR15-008, and
  • 3.17 m @ 2.15 g/t Au in hole TCR15-013

A map showing all drill collar locations reported in this news release is available on our web site at www.terraxminerals.com.

Drill intersections at Crestaurum are designed to be normal to strike and near normal to dip and represent 90-100% of true thickness of the mineralized zone based on interpreted strike and dip of the zone, except hole TCR15-020 which is approximately 80% of true thickness.

Winter Drill Program Completed at Core Gold Area

The winter drill program at the Core Gold Area of the YCG is now complete, with additional holes having been added to the program which now totals 6,799 m of drilling.

Drill core is currently being logged and sampled from:

  • four holes drilled at the interpreted intersection of the Crestaurum Shear and Shear 20 (21.12 m @ 2.97 g/t Au in hole 94-01A) to provide information on the intersection zone of these two well mineralized shears; and
  • eleven holes drilled at Barney to test up and down dip and along strike from the main zone of mineralization drilled by TerraX in 2014 (22.42 m @ 6.35 g/t Au in TNB95-16W1).

TerraX collected 664 samples for assay from the drilling reported here. Results ranged from below detection to a high of 19.25 g/t Au. Drill hole collar locations were surveyed to sub-meter accuracy. Down hole surveying (Easy Shot) was completed on all holes. TerraX inserts certified standards and blanks into the sample stream as a check on laboratory QC. Drill core samples are cut by Diamond saw at TerraX's core facilities in Yellowknife. A halved core sample is left in the core box. The other half core is sampled and transported by TerraX personnel in securely sealed bags to ALS Chemex's (ALS) preparation laboratory in Yellowknife. After sample preparation, samples are shipped to ALS's Vancouver facility for gold and ICP analysis. Gold assays of >3 g/t are re-assayed on a 30 gm split by fire assay with a gravimetric finish. ALS is a certified and accredited laboratory service. ALS routinely inserts certified gold standards, blanks and pulp duplicates, and results of all QC samples are reported.

TerraX and GeoVector Management Inc. were responsible for planning the drill holes. GeoVector was also responsible for the management and supervision of the drill program.

About the Yellowknife City Gold Project

The Yellowknife City Gold Project encompasses approximately 94.9 sq km of contiguous land immediately north of the City of Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. Through a series of acquisitions, TerraX now controls one of the six major high-grade gold camps in Canada - and the least explored.

The project lies on the prolific Yellowknife greenstone belt and covers 15 km of strike length on the northern extension of the shear system that hosts the high-grade Con and Giant gold mines. The project area contains multiple shears that are the recognized hosts for gold deposits in the Yellowknife gold district, with innumerable gold showings and high grade drill results this past year that serve to indicate the project's potential as a world-class gold district. Since February 2013, TerraX has consolidated the project area by acquiring, optioning and staking numerous properties, including: Northbelt, Goodwin, Ryan Lake, Walsh Lake, and U-Breccia, as well as staking additional contiguous lands. Being all-season road accessible and within 15 km of the City of Yellowknife, the YCG is close to vital infrastructure, including transportation, service providers, hydro-electric power and skilled trades people
