CANEX Reports Cyanide Soluble Gold Recoveries of 94 to 99% from Bottle Roll Tests at Gold Range, Arizona Drill Rig Mobilizing

 

Canex Metals Inc. (TSXV:CANX) ("CANEX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce exceptional cyanide soluble gold recoveries from bottle roll test work on mineralized samples from the Gold Range Project, Arizona

 

Highlights

 
  • Metallurgical test work on 8 bottle roll samples from the Gold Range Project achieved final cyanide soluble gold recoveries ranging from 94 to 99%, averaging 97%.
  •  
  • The test work showed rapid leach kinetics with the majority of gold extracted within the first 6 hours, and maximum extraction almost complete within 24 hours.
  •  
  • Sodium cyanide and lime consumption are well within acceptable levels and the overall results indicate Gold Range gold mineralization is well suited for heap leach recovery.
  •  
  • A drill rig is being mobilized to the project and drilling should commence shortly.
  •  

Dr. Shane Ebert, President of the Company stated, "The bottle roll samples were mainly taken from the Eldorado and Excelsior Zones and represent a range of gold grades from varying depths in the system. We are very encouraged to see exceptional recoveries from throughout the mineralized zone, demonstrating the system could be amenable to heap leach processing and significantly de-risking the bulk tonnage heap-leach exploration concept at Gold Range."

 

Bottle Roll Test Work

 

Eight samples of mineralized reverse circulation drill cuttings from the Gold Range Project were submitted to SGS Laboratories in Burnaby British Columbia for bottle roll testing to better understand the cyanide soluble gold recovery and leach characteristics of the Gold Range mineralization. Four of the samples were from the Eldorado zone, three samples were from the Excelsior zone, and one sample was from the Contact Zone located between Eldorado and Excelsior. The samples represent low grade gold mineralization (0.2 g/t gold), intermediate grade mineralization (0.5 to 0.8 g/t gold), and higher-grade zones (2 to 3.4 g/t gold) and were from a range of depths from 7 to 64 metres down hole.

 

Each sample was air-dried then crushed to 100% passing 10 mesh. A 1 kg charge from each sample was subject to standard leach conditions (cyanide concentration of 0.5 g/L NaCN with 48 hour retention time) and assayed at 0, 2, 6, 24, and 48 hours.

Sodium cyanide and lime consumption where well within acceptable levels at 0.24 to 0.32 kg/t and 0.7 to 1.5 kg/t, respectively. All of the samples were found to be non-refractory and appear to contain fee milling gold. The samples display rapid leach kinetics, with the majority of gold extracted within the first 6 hours and maximum extraction almost complete within 24 hours.

The results confirm that the mineralized zones recently discovered at the Gold Range project are well suited to heap leach extraction methods and reinforces the Company's objective of exploring for and defining zones of bulk tonnage gold mineralization.

 

Drill Program Update - RC Drilling About to Commence

 

A track mounted reverse circulation drill rig is currently being mobilized to the Gold Range Project. An announcement will be made once drilling has commenced. This third round of drilling will consist of approximately 50 drill holes and in excess of 3000 metres and will focus on stepping out and expanding new gold discoveries and testing new targets.

 

About Canex Metals

 

Canex Metals (TSX.V:CANX) is a Canadian junior exploration company focused on advancing its Gold Range Project in Northern Arizona. Led by an experienced management team, which has made three notable porphyry and bulk tonnage discoveries in North America, CANEX has identified and tested several targets which host the potential for bulk tonnage oxide gold mineralization at its Gold Range Project. Recent drilling has identified near surface bulk tonnage gold potential along a recently identified trend extending from the Eldorado to Excelsior Zones. Hole GR21-37 from Excelsior returned 1.6 g/t gold over 35.1 metres including 8.2 g/t gold over 4.6 metres. These new discoveries occur along a 3 kilometre long highly prospective mineralized trend that has seen limited modern exploration.

 

The Company remains focused on testing and advancing key exploration targets on the Gold Range Property through continued exploration and drilling.

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.
