Pasinex Resources Limited Announces New Mineralisation after Receipt of Magnetic Survey and Rock Sampling Results from its Golcuk Property in Turkey
VANCOUVER, Dec. 16, 2013 /CNW/ - Pasinex Resources Limited (CNSX: PSE) (FSE: PNX) is pleased to announce that is has received the bulk of the results of the ground magnetics survey in progress over its Golcuk licence in the province of Sivas in Turkey.
The results show considerable variability in the magnetic signatures of the rock units constituting the massive volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks within which the multiple centers of copper mineralization at Golcuk occur, and a much lower degree of variability within the sediments which overlie this package.
The magnetic patterns over the volcanic rocks should materially assist Pasinex in mapping their subsurface locations, and in particular, the subsurface locations of those strata mineralized in copper.

Figure 1 presents Pasinex's latest geological mapping at Golcuk, produced prior to receipt of the magnetic survey results, over which have been plotted the locations of various centers of copper mineralization identified at Golcuk. Figure 2 presents the magnetic survey results received to date, as well as the centers of copper mineralization.
The correspondence of 6 of the 9 centers of copper mineralization at Golcuk with the upper contact of the "Volcaniclastic rocks (basaltic)" Unit is evident in Figure 1. The entire length of this contact, as highlighted in red in Figure 1, is therefore regarded by Pasinex as a prospective location for copper accumulation, and, therefore, an exploration target. The magnetic survey results, in conjunction with a digital elevation model of the licence and further rock sampling, will be used to bring this target, more than 10 kilometers in length, to drill-ready status.
Pasinex notes that copper also occurs in potentially economic concentrations in three other stratigraphic levels on the Golcuk licence, namely in the sediments (at Funlu - see below - and in historical pits dug in the center of the licence), in the "Basaltic lava - basaltic agglomerate" Unit at New West, and in the "Agglomerate-tuff-limestone-mudstone" Unit at New South.
Pasinex routinely conducts surface rock sampling in the course of its geological mapping. A number of rock samples recently collected by Pasinex returned values highly anomalous in copper in the extreme east of the Golcuk licence in an area now named Funlu. Figure 3 shows the copper assays returned from Funlu outcrop samples, as determined in Pasinex's Niton XRF laboratory in Turkey. Outcrop samples were predominantly of volcaniclastic rocks.
With the identification of the Funlu Prospect, Pasinex has been able to show that the entire width of the Golcuk licence, a distance of 7.6 kilometers from Funlu in the east to New West in the west, is mineralised in copper, and therefore meriting sub-surface exploration by drilling for economic volumes of this mineralization where evidence of copper enhancements are evident at surface and can be traced in the subsurface by geophysical methods such as magnetics.
Steve Williams, CEO of Pasinex comments: "This latest information continues to highlight that Golcuk is a very prospective target for copper. We are seeing copper mineralization all around the Golcuk property. Pasinex is very focused on targeting one area in the Golcuk property and establishing a maiden resources there. With that we can then push on to project development at Golcuk and exploring for the larger opportunity in front of us at Golcuk."
