QF Zone Represents Additional Upside To The Project

MONTREAL – Amex Exploration Inc. reported on a metallurgical hole drilled down dip in the QF Zone that reported 3.43% Copper, 34.00 g/t Silver, 1.80% Zinc and 0.30 g/t Gold over 20.80 m. A secondary mineralized lens also returned 1.19% Copper, 7.44 g/t Silver, 0.15% Zinc and 0.11 g/t Gold over 15.70 m. The QF Zone sits approximately 200 m to the northeast of the Team Gold Zone and is a volcanic massive sulfide (VMS) body, which lies approximately 5 km from the past producing Normétal Mine that produced over 10.1 Mt of 2.24% Cu, 5.41% Zn, 0.53 g/t Au and 44.45 g/t Ag. The QF Zone is one of Amex’s most recent discoveries and was found within the same geological unit that hosted the Normétal Mine. The Perron project is situated approximately 120 km by paved highway from the Glencore Horne Smelter in Rouyn Noranda.

Jacques Trottier, Chairman, said, “While we do not plan to include the QF Zone in our upcoming resource, the metallurgy is still very important to us as this zone represents additional upside to the project. We have only just begun to define this target which is looking very similar to the past-producing Normétal Mine. The main important difference between our deposit and the historical mine, is that our system is more copper-rich rather than more zinc-rich.”
