Globex Mining Enterprises Inc.: New Gold Zone Returns 9.52 g/t Au over 7.1 m in Proximity of Former Arntfield Gold Mine Horizon


ROUYN-NORANDA, QUÉBEC--(Marketwired - Sept. 25, 2017) - GLOBEX MINING ENTERPRISES INC. (TSX:GMX)(FRANKFURT:G1MN)(STUTTGART:G1MN)(BERLIN:G1MN)(MUNICH:G1MN)(XETRA:G1MN)(OTCQX:GLBXF) is pleased to inform shareholders that Globex has received the first assay results of channel sampling from the most eastern trench excavated on the Francoeur/Arntfield property, 18 km west of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. The first trench is on what is thought to be a poorly explored gold structure immediately south of the main Francoeur-Wasa Fault which is the localizing structure for the Francoeur and Arntfield gold deposits.

Sixteen channel samples of approximately 1 metre each were cut and analysed for gold (see map attached or map on Globex's website). The north end of the trench is moderately altered andesite which grades from 0.03 g/t Au to 0.14 g/t Au. Immediately south, the rock becomes heavily altered (carbonate, sericite, albite, silica) and is strongly sheared. Very fine pyrite varying from 1/2% up to 10% is observed. The southern portion of the trench returned 9.52 g/t Au over 7.1 m including 15.4 g/t Au over 4.1 mThe southernmost channel sample assayed 15.33 g/t Au over 1.1 m before being hidden beneath overburden.

Sample # Sample length (m) Gold (g/t)
D110459 1.0 1.39
D110461 1.0 2.06
D110462 1.0 0.99
D110463 1.0 2.40
D110464 1.0 14.33
D110465 1.0 29.55
D110466 1.1 15.33

A single channel sample (D110467) taken approximately 2.5 m to the east of sample D110465 assayed 7.78 g/t Au over 1 m in an area where the mineralized rock is mixed with un-mineralized andesite (see map).

The rock units strike roughly east-west and dip from 50° to 60° to the north. The true width of the mineralized horizon is unknown at this point in time.

Sample Preparation:

All samples were delivered to Expert Laboratories Inc., located at 127 Boulevard Industriel, Rouyn- Noranda, Quebec. The laboratory conducted all aspects of the sample preparation. Samples were dried and crushed to 90% passing a -10 mesh screen. A 300-gram subsample was taken for pulverization to a nominal 90% passing -200 mesh with the remaining crushed rejects being retained.

Gold Assaying

A 29.166-gram sub-sample of this pulp (1 assay-ton) was taken and was fused following the standard procedures used in a fire assay method. The gold content of all samples was determined using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (Method Code: Au FA-GEO, lower detection limit 5 ppb). Any samples found to contain greater than 1 g/t Au were subjected to a re-assay, whereby the gold content was determined using a gravimetric fire assay method.
