CMX Announces Ore-Sorting Test Completed with Assays Pending

CMX Announces Ore-Sorting Test Completed with Assays Pending

(TheNewswire)

CMX Gold & Silver Corp. ( CSE:CXC ) ( OTC:CXXMF ) (" CMX " or the " Company ") announces the successful completion of the ore-sorting test at the TOMRA facility in Sydney, Australia.  The sorted product has been sent to Bureau Veritas for assaying. Results are expected in late April 2023

CMX's plan for processing the stockpile on its 100%-owned Clayton Silver Property is to use state-of-the-art precision ore-sorting technology to high-grade the unprocessed rock and thereby enhance the grade of material delivered to a toll mill.  Dual Energy X-Ray Transmission technologies are effective at capturing sulphides and concentrating valuable metals.  Data from other sorting projects across North America indicate ore-sorting has the potential to increase the grade of sorted rock by 6 to 10 times.  The Company's expectation is that TOMRA's testing captured most of the metals in the 10% product from the first run, with the remainder in the 10% product from the second run of the first run's rejected material.  Confirmation will come from the assay results.

Jan Alston, President & CEO of CMX stated: "Completion of the ore-sorting test is an important milestone in advancing the Company's Clayton Silver Project.  Once we receive the assays for the sorted stockpile material, we anticipate this will provide confirmation of the value proposition that CMX can obtain significant cash flow from processing the stockpile next year."

The historic Clayton Silver Mine stockpile is estimated to contain up to 1,000,000 tonnes of metal-bearing rock.  In CMX's 2014/15 evaluation program, over 3,000 kilograms of sample material were collected from 16 locations selected to ensure representative results.  Analysis of the samples confirmed the presence of gold in each sample.  Assays indicated gold values up to 2.84 gm/t with an average of 0.80 gm/t for the 16 locations sampled.  Statistical averages of the 16 locations of the mine stockpile sampling program were: gold – 0.80 gms/t; silver – 24.31 gms/t; lead – 0.44%; zinc – 0.27%.

About the Clayton Silver Project

The Clayton Silver Property is in Custer County in south-central Idaho, a mining-friendly state.  The 1,134-acre property includes the former Clayton silver-lead-zinc mine on patented claims.  The Clayton Mine was developed on eight levels to a depth of 1,100 feet below surface and is comprised of approximately 19,690 feet of underground development.  Two major ore bodies were partially mined: the "South Ore Body" and the "North Ore Body".

The recorded production from the Clayton Mine included 7,031,110 oz silver, 86,771,527 lbs lead, 28,172,211 lbs zinc, 1,664,177 lbs copper, and minor amounts of gold from an estimated 2,145,652 tonnes of ore mined between 1934 and 1985.

Significant potential is demonstrated in hole 1501-A, drilled in the mid-1960's, which penetrated the mineralized zone at 1,425 feet.  At that depth, the hole intercepted 22 feet of 4.07 oz (126 gms) Ag/t, 5.75% lead and 5.37% zinc (note: true width is unknown).

Vertex Minerals Limited  Reward Gold Mine Production Update

Vertex Minerals Limited Reward Gold Mine Production Update

Perth, Australia (ABN Newswire) - Vertex Minerals Limited (ASX:VTX,OTC:VTXXF) (OTCMKTS:VTXXF) is pleased to announce the commencement of development of the first two stope blocks at the Reward Mine. Since commissioning the ventilation fan on Thursday 21 August, a total of 500 tonnes of ore has been blasted and bogged to the Amalgamated portal for processing.

Operational Milestones

- Vertex is today pleased to announce first freshly blasted ore sourced from the first two stoping blocks at the Reward Underground Mine.

- Ore is from development stripping (making ore drives larger for machine access) in preparation for mechanised stoping operations.

- Reward ore will be processed via the Gravity Only gold processing plant located at the entry to the mine.

- The material will start replacing feed from the low-grade surface ore stockpile, with the aim of achieving 100% feed from higher grade underground ore sources over the next few weeks.

- The underground electrical transformer is energised and 1,000 Volt power reticulated underground.

- The Primary Ventilation Fan was commissioned on Thursday 21 August, giving excitement to the Vertex Mining Team. Powered ventilation in the mine means mining can start in earnest.

- 1550 Decline is dewatered, with first ore blasted.

- Vertex aims to have developed multiple mining fronts, with over around 400m of strike, to achieve continuous feed to the plant.

Underground broken stocks include 200 tonnes at 5.4g/t from the 1325 strip, while the remaining 300 tonnes is pending assay grades but from 1438 stope area and 1555 decline strip.

The Company is spreading initial production areas around 400 metres of strike length to provide operational flexibility. Significant effort is underway setting up the 1720 stopes to the northern end of the mine, primarily accessed from the 1555 Decline. The Company is focussed on initially mining high grade ore, primarily from the Mica 1 and Mica 2 Veins. M1 and M2 are parallel veins and around 2m apart.

The Company is employing multiple mining methods to diversify risk and maximise head grade These include airleg gallery and shrink stoping, jumbo cut and fill stoping and narrow vein longhole open stoping.
