Pasinex Resources Limited announces copper and gold anomalies on its Dadak Property in Afyon Province, Turkey
VANCOUVER, April 29, 2013 /CNW/ - Pasinex Resources Ltd. (CNSX: PSE) (FSE: PNX) (the "Company" or "Pasinex") is pleased to announce that it has identified a large copper in soil anomaly on its Dadak Property in Afyon, Turkey. The anomaly is in the shape of an equilateral triangle of approximately 500 meters on each side, it peaks at above 500ppm Cu, and is supported by anomalous soil gold levels, peaking above 100ppb Au, along at least one side of the anomaly. This anomaly occurs in an area never before reported as anomalous in copper or gold. A second, gold-only, anomaly has also been identified on the property.
These anomalies occur in the -200# fraction of soils developed over schists and carbonate rocks, including marble, in close association with andesites and pyroclastics of Miocene age, the same age as the intrusives and extrusives within which Eldorado Gold's large Kisladag porphyry gold mine occurs, 120km to the west of Dadak. The marble, as well as quartz veining and hydrothermal alteration also identified in association with the anomaly, indicate proximity to an intrusive body, potentially mineralized in copper and gold.
High levels of copper in outcrop samples taken from within the anomaly, supported by anomalous gold, provide further support for a proximal intrusive body.
Pasinex will continue to explore the Dadak Property with its focus on porphyry copper and epithermal gold mineralization - these being the expected mineralization used to justify the staking of the Dadak Property by Pasinex in 2012. Skarn mineralization will now also be a Pasinex target on the property.
All gold values reported were determined by the ALS-Chemex laboratory in Turkey according to their TL42-PKG analytical protocols, which provide an aqua regia gold digestion followed by an ICP-MS finish for Au, as well as ICP-MS and ICP-AES finishes on 51 additional elements, including copper. All copper values reported were also determined by this protocol, expect for the southern-most three lines, for which gold values are not yet available, and whose copper levels were determined by a Niton XRF instrument at Pasinex's laboratory in Horzum. Pasinex implements strict quality control protocols at its Horzum laboratory, and is satisfied that its Dadak results are comparable to those reported by ALS-Chemex.
Steve Williams, CEO of Pasinex, commented: "Pasinex is very pleased with these results. It is particularly satisfying to see our exploration strategies vindicated, this time in Afyon, where last year Dadak was indicated as a target for porphyry copper/gold deposit types."
