MGX Minerals (CSE:XMG) announced that it is preparing to re-assay a historic drill core previously compiled at the company’s flagship Driftwood Creek project. The drill core was originally collected by Tusk Exploration in 2008. The sample will be submitted for dead-burned magensia analysis.
According to the press release:
The drill core, which was originally collected by Tusk Exploration Ltd. in 2008, was part of a seven-hole, 692 meter NQ-sized diamond drill program testing the thickest portion of the Western Zone at Driftwood (see Figure 1, Table 1). Approximately 325 meters of strike length and 140 meters of thickness were tested (Klewchuk, 2008).
The Company will submit the original 2008 drill core to ALS Minerals in North Vancouver, British Columbia for dead-burned magnesia (“DBM”) analysis. Samples will be roasted at a temperature of 1,700° Celsius prior to using XRF whole rock analysis. This procedure will reduce the carbon content of each sample and provide a more accurate representation of the potential marketable DBM product.
