ABOUT JIMINEX INC.
The Company is a junior mining exploration company focused on gold exploration in
Subject to regulatory approval, the Company recently reached agreements to acquire a 100% interest in both the 14.8 square km Parres Property and the 47.8 square km Misehkow River Gold Property.
The Parres Property is located in the Snow Lake mining camp of Manitoba near to the recent major copper-zinc-gold-silver and gold discovery at Lalor Lake by HudBay Minerals Inc. The Property covers 4 km of favorable mine geology between former producers, the Stall Lake-Rod Mine and the Osborne Mine. The Company plans to use a deep-penetrating electro-magnetic geophysical system to attempt to detect any conductive copper-zinc deposits which may underlie the property. The Company plans line cutting followed by this geophysical surveying to commence as soon as possible and to be followed by diamond drilling in early 2010.
The Misehkow River Gold Property is located in the Pickle Lake gold area of Ontario. This property represents a more regional exploration project in that approximately 20 km of iron formation having a potential to host gold deposits is situated on the mining claims. There are several historical significant gold-bearing drill intersections associated with the iron formation, a common host rock for the nearby Pickle Lake and the Musselwhite gold mining camps. The Company has recently had a VTEM airborne geophysical survey flown over the property by Geotech Ltd. and results are pending. Ground surveys followed by diamond drilling are planned for the 2010 summer and fall field seasons.
The Company is also earning a 50% interest from Beaufield Resources Inc. in the 37 square km Northern Eagle gold property. This property, straddling Trans-Canada Highway 17, is located 15 km west of the 21 million ounce Hemlo gold deposit currently being mined by Barrick Gold Corporation in Northwestern Ontario. The property represents one of the best target areas in the region for the potential discovery of another Hemlo-style gold deposit. Geological compilation and digital conversion of historical data to a geological computer model is almost complete. Deep-penetrating Titan 24 IP and magneto-telluric geophysical surveying by Quantec Geoscience is planned in the near future to be followed by deep diamond drilling in 2010.
Allan J. Willy, P. Eng., VP Exploration & Director of Jiminex Inc. is the qualified person responsible for the geotechnical information contained in this press release.
