TORONTO, Feb. 26, 2014 /CNW/ - Temex Resources Corp. (TSX-V: TME) (FWB: TQ1) ("Temex" or "the Company") announces that it has made the regulatory filing of the report entitled "Updated Mineral Resource Estimate for the Juby Gold Project, Tyrrell Township, Shining Tree Area, Ontario", further to the news release dated January 15, 2014 announcing the resource estimate on the Hydro Creek and Big Dome Zones of the Juby Gold Project (the "Project"). The report, dated February 24, 2014 was authored by GeoVector Management Inc. of Ottawa, Ontario in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 ("NI 43-101").
The Juby Gold Project is located in northeastern Ontario in the Timmins-Kirkland Lake mining camps, 45 kilometres southwest of AuRico Gold's Young-Davidson mine and along the Cadillac-Larder Lake Fault system, host to the Malartic, Kirkalnd Lake and Matachewan gold mining camps. The Hydro Creek and Big Dome Zones, for which the NI 43-101 resource estimate was recently announced, are located 3 kilometres along geological trend from the Juby Main Zone NI 43-101 resources with no drilling in between or further along trend to the west demonstrating excellent resource expansion potential.
Highlights of the Juby Gold Project:
Table 1 presents the resource estimate on Hydro Creek and Big Dome at various cut-off grades. Table 2 presents the global NI 43-101 resource summary for the Juby Gold Project at a cut-off grade of 0.40 g/t gold.

0.60 g/t | 13,080 | 1.42 | 595,950 |
1.00 g/t | 7,780 | 1.88 | 469,640 |
Note: Figures for Tonnage and Contained Ounces have been rounded.
The Hydro Creek and Big Dome Zones are 450 metres apart, have strike lengths of 1,100 metres and 950 metres, respectively, and occur over a combined strike length of 2.5 kilometres. The mineralized zones that comprise the resource are hosted in a moderately (45 to 65 degrees) southwest dipping sequence that consists of hanging wall mafic volcanic rocks, a central core of sedimentary rocks - quartz-feldspar porphyry units and footwall ultramafic rocks.
The resource estimate is based on 127 holes drilled for 36,103 metres by previous operators. Core was re-logged by GeoVector personnel, infill sampling of core was sent for assay, check and referee assays were done of pulps that were securely stored. A total of 18,026 individual assays from those 127 holes were used in the calculation of this resource.
Juby Project Global Resources
The Juby Gold Project covers 14,423 acres and includes the 100%-owned Juby Lease, the adjacent Golden Lake Property, on which Temex has an option to earn 100% (news release January 18, 2012), and the expanded land position via a purchase and sale agreement (news releases November 15 and 23, 2012). As a result of the consolidation, Temex now controls a 10 kilometre long strike length of the Tyrrell Structural Zone ("TSZ") along which the NI 43-101 resources are located. Global gold resources on the project, as a result of the resource update on the Juby Main Zone (news releases April 29 and June 13, 2013) and initial resources announced on the Hydro Creek and Big Dome Zones (news release January 15, 2014) are shown in Table 2 at a cut-off grade of 0.40 g/t gold, and summarized as follows:

Exploration Targets and Upside
The Hydro Creek and Big Domes Zones are located 5 kilometres northwest of the Juby Main Zone and Golden Lake Zone. There is no diamond drilling along the 3 kilometre long geological trend hosting these two gold deposit areas, offering excellent potential for resource expansion with further diamond drilling.
In addition, the 2013 field program discovered several new gold-in-bedrock occurrences and gold-in-soil anomalous trends on structures interpreted to be sub-parallel to the major structural features that host the gold deposits. The targets cover an area of approximately 3 by 5 kilometres over the north half of the claim group acquired in November 2012. These new occurrences, along with several others with limited to no diamond drill testing, will be evaluated in the 2014 field season. Structural mapping identified several new high priority target areas for follow-up prospecting across the Project. One of these targets in the northwest part of the Project is an area with several gold occurrences in and along a felsic intrusive unit, which is an excellent geological environment to host mesothermal gold deposits.
