Pasinex Releases NI 43-101 Technical Report on its Golcuk Copper Project in Sivas Province, Turkey
VANCOUVER, July 30, 2013 /CNW/ - Pasinex Resources Limited (CNSX: PSE) (FSE: PNX) is pleased to report the release of a National Instrument 43 -101 Technical Report ("Technical Report") on its Golcuk Copper Project, (the "Project"), located in the Sivas Province of north-central Turkey. The Project occupies an area of 40 square kilometers centered around surface and sub-surface copper mineralization which occurs as disseminations, veins, and stockworks in a layered package of andesite, basalt, and associated volcaniclastics.
Technical Report Highlights
- Pasinex's Golcuk license clearly covers an under-explored area with considerable potential for the discovery of economic deposits of copper. It has clearly not yet been subjected to 20th or 21st century best-practice exploration methods, and therefore constitutes an exploration property of considerable merit.
- The Golcuk deposit is typical of what are known as "Basaltic Copper" or "Volcanic Cu red-bed" type deposits. Similar type deposits include the copper deposits of the Keweenaw Peninsula, in upper state Michigan, USA and the Sustut deposit in BC, Canada. The copper mines from the Keweenaw Peninsula produced over 11 billion pounds of native copper between 1854 and 1976. Sustut is a resource of approximately 5Mt @ 2% copper
- The Golcuk property has considerable potential for discovery of new centres of mineralization not contiguous with the existing known mineralization.
The Technical Report recommends a budget of US $800,000 for the next phase of exploration on the Golcuk property, divided between airborne magnetics, soil sampling, geological mapping and drilling.
The Technical Report will be filed on Sedar as well as on the Pasinex website.
