NSX Silver Reports High-Grade Silver Samples and Identifies Four Large Poly-Metallic Anomalies at its Oso Blanco II Concession in Mexico

BEDFORD, NS, Aug. 21, 2012 /CNW/ - NSX Silver Inc. (NSY: TSXV) is pleased to report on results obtained from a property-wide rock-chip geochemical survey being carried out on its Oso Blanco II concession located in the State of Sonora, Mexico approximately 270 kilometers east of Hermosillo.  Silver values up to 545 grams per tonne were returned from the samples and four large poly-metallic anomalies have also been delineated.

NSX Silver has completed a Phase 1 geochemical survey on a portion of its wholly-owned Oso Blanco II concession, which is located 5 kilometers from the Company's Dios Padre Silver Project. The geochemical survey covered a 5 km² portion of part of the Oso Blanco II concession known as the Wierigo Zone.  An additional 3 km² of the Huerigo Zone remains to be sampled.

The Company was attracted to the previously unexplored Huerigo Zone by alteration in surface rocks that is similar to that seen at the Dios Padre Project.  A total of 677 rock chip surface samples were taken at approximate intervals of 100 meters and shipped to ALS Chemex for assay. Of the total samples taken, 201 samples (29% of the total samples) contain anomalous values for one or more metals.  Anomalous zones are defined by multi-point silver assays that in many cases are supported by anomalous multi-element assay values that exceed the background populations.

Of the 201 anomalous samples, 71 samples or 35% exceeded 5 grams of silver per tonne.  Forty-seven samples reported in excess of 10 grams of silver per tonne of which 17 samples were greater than 30 grams of silver per tonne including 4 samples that were greater than 100 grams of silver per tonne.

Lead values as high as 2.05% and copper values as high as 1.56% were also returned, as well as, anomalous values for molybdenum (0.66% and 0.3%).

The geochemical survey identified four large anomalies that have been determined to be targets warranting further exploration.  These targets are hosted in the lower volcanic sequence that commonly hosts mineral deposits in the Sierra Madre Occidental.  Metals such as lead, zinc silver, copper, and molybdenum may occur coincident with other metals in the same anomaly, but not all metals occur in all the metal anomalies.  Silver is associated with lead and appears in three of the four anomalous zones.   Copper is found in two of the anomalous zones and to a lesser extent in a third anomaly, whereas molybdenum appears only in one anomaly.  Zinc is coincident with lead.

Phase II of the geochemical program will involve detailed sampling on a 50 meter grid at 25 meter spacing between samples or at any change in lithology.  At least 5 trenches are planned to test the anomalous zones of silver and lead as well as an as yet undetermined number of test pits.

Sample Protocol and QA/QC

Rock chip samples were taken and bagged, sealed and numbered on site. The sealed samples were transported by Company personnel to ALS Chemex's preparation lab in Hermosillo then forwarded to ALS labs in Vancouver, B.C. for testing using the ICP-61 protocols. A selection of 10% of the samples in the anomalous zones and 2% of those outside the anomalous zones has been resubmitted for quality control testing.
