Gold Range Permit Amendment and March Surface Program
In January 2024, the Company filed an exploration permit amendment for the Gold Range project to allow for new drill pads at the WestGold area to further expand upon a new gold discovery announced on May 8, 2023, where hole GR23-120 intersected 35 metres grading 0.7 g/t gold, including 7.6 metres grading 2.5 g/t gold. The permit amendment has been accepted by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) subject to an increase in the reclamation bond amount of
In March 2024, the Company will undertake a surface sampling and mapping program designed to fill in surface sampling and mapping gaps within and surrounding the WestGold area to aid in future drill planning. The Company sees potential to significantly expand the area of known gold mineralization at the Eldorado zone and further work will be conducted at that zone. Additional target areas on the property will also be advanced and evaluated as future drill targets.
The Company is planning to conduct shortwave infrared and near-infrared spectroscopy studies on samples from across the main deposits and along the entire 4-kilometre mineralized trend to identify alteration minerals and look for alteration patterns that might provide useful exploration vectors. CANEX personnel will also inventory and document the condition of recently acquired mine buildings and other assets at the Excelsior Mine.
About Gold Range
The Gold Range project is a new bulk-tonnage oxide-gold target located within an underexplored metamorphic terrain in Northern Arizona. CANEX controls 5 kilometres of strike length along a highly prospective district scale structure where mineralization is being defined through surface sampling, mapping, and reverse circulation drilling. The main exploration target defined by surface work is 4000 metres long by up to 500 metres wide with multiple subparallel exploration targets identified. The target zone remains open along strike under basin cover. Drilling by CANEX has returned strong results including 1 g/t gold over 59.5 metres, 1.6 g/t gold over 35.1 metres, and 2.2 g/t gold over 24.4 metres.
