MGX Minerals Completes Sampling at White Moon and Captain Properties

MGX Minerals Inc. (CSE:XMG) reported updates on the phase one exploration program at its White Moon magnesium project in San Bernardino County, California. At White Moon, 15 rock ship samples were collected from surface outcrops and have been sent to ALS Minerals in Vancouver, BC, for geochemical analysis. At the Captain magnesite prospect, geologic mapping has been conducted and three rock chip samples from outcrops were collected.
The White Moon land package was acquired in June 2015 and consists of patented and unpatented BLM claims. MGX management has commenced an internal study to evaluate the various logistical and engineering requirements of a proposed plant.
As quoted in the press release:

White Moon Rock Chip Sampling and Geologic Mapping
A total of 15 rock chip samples were collected from surface outcrops occurring throughout the Property. Rock sample interval lengths ranged from 0.5 to 3 meters. The samples will be sent to ALS Minerals (“ALS”) in North Vancouver, British Columbia for ME-XRF-26 whole rock geochemical analysis. The Company has also completed geologic mapping at White Moon. Mapping coverage occurred across an area of approximately seven hectares and focused on outcrops occurring along the northwest-trending sedimentary bed unit where magnesite mineralization was identified in historic exploration work documented by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) (see DMG Open-File Report 85-18).
Captain Magnesite Prospect
MGX has also conducted limited exploration of the Captain magnesite prospect (“Captain”), which is located approximately three miles south of White Moon on adjacent BLM unpatented claims. Magnesite mineralization at Captain is exposed along two closely-spaced parallel bands that outcrop over a length of approximately 15 meters. Two small pits exist where magnesite ore was mined and stockpiled on site during the 1940’s. Geologic mapping at Captain was conducted over a two hectare area and three rock chip samples from outcrops were collected over 1 to 1.5 meter intervals.
