Temex Acquires Strategic Property Within Whitney Gold Project
Surface Exploration Underway
======================================================================
NEWS RELEASE 07-2007
TSX Venture Exchange:TME, Frankfurt Exchange:TQ1
TORONTO, ONTARIO: Temex Resources Corp. (TSX Venture Exchange:TME,
Frankfurt:TQ1) ("Temex" or "the Company") reports that it has acquired
a 100% interest in a key gold exploration property within the existing
Whitney Gold Project boundaries through a purchase and sale agreement
and further reports that it is initiating preliminary exploration on
the property immediately. The property, designated the PAM Property,
is centrally located within the larger Whitney Project in which Temex
has the right to earn a 60% interest from the Porcupine Joint Venture
(a 51:49 Joint Venture between Goldcorp Inc. and Kinross Gold
Corporation; see Temex NR March 31, 2005 for details).
The boundaries of the PAM Property are located less than 1 kilometre
from several significant past producing gold mines or significant
exploration projects on the Whitney Project including the Broulan Reef
Mine, the Reef Open Pit, the Mulholland Shaft Zone, and the Banner
Porcupine Shaft Zone. Ian Campbell, President and CEO of Temex
commented, "The PAM Property is key to the proper evaluation of the
area immediately to the northwest of the Reef Open Pit Zone and Broulan
Reef Mine trends. We already know the property hosts gold
mineralization from the limited amount of previous diamond drilling.
Furthermore, the very highly anomalous gold values in limited till
sampling in the northwest part of the property are north of the main
Hallnor and Broulan Reef gold bearing horizons and therefore may
indicate there is much more to this story."
Gold mineralization has been reported at a number of locations on, and
in close proximity to, the property including a report by Rollex Mines
Ltd. in 1960 that one drill hole intersected gold mineralization that
included a 0.46 metre interval that assayed 8.23 grams per tonne (g/t)
gold. Drilling by Hollander Mines Ltd. (1964) intersected gold at
different locations with assays up to 4.8 g/t gold over 0.91 metres.
All of the limited diamond drilling was concentrated in a small area in
the north central part of the property. While Temex cannot determine
the reliability of these historical assays since the work was completed
more than 40 years ago and therefore it should not be relied upon, the
Company considers the data to be relevant based on technical data from
adjacent work.
More recent overburden drilling aimed at till geochemical sampling and
bedrock definition by Mill City completed in 1988 on and near the PAM
Property revealed the presence of very highly anomalous amounts of gold
in till concentrate samples that remain unexplained. One of these till
concentrate samples was found to contain 11,276 ppb gold (11.27 g/t)
near the northwest corner of the PAM Property some 700 metres distant
from the area where the historical diamond drilling focused and gold
was intersected. Several more till samples from overburden drill holes
in the area on both the PAM Property and the Whitney Project contained
anomalous concentrations of gold that warrant follow-up exploration.
The Company is immediately initiating a program of grid establishment,
geological mapping, geophysics and diamond drilling on the PAM Property
as part of its exploration efforts related to the Whitney Project as
announced in a press release May 8, 2007.
Terms for purchase of the PAM Property include cash payments of $30,000
in two installments and the issuance of 200,000 Temex shares. A 3% Net
Smelter Returns royalty is reserved to the vendors, with Temex
retaining the right to purchase 50% of the royalty for $1,000,000. The
property purchase is subject to regulatory approval.
Temex, a well-funded Canadian exploration company, is focused on
advancing its gold, silver and diamond projects in Ontario. For
