TORONTO , June 17, 2014 /CNW/ - Temex Resources Corp. (TME.V) (TQ1.F) ("Temex" or "the Company") announces initial results from the
definition drill campaign on the Whitney Gold Project (the "Property")
located in Timmins, Ontario . The Property is held under a joint
venture in which Temex owns 60% and is the operator, and Goldcorp
Canada Ltd. ("Goldcorp", as manager and on behalf of the Porcupine
Joint Venture, a joint venture between Goldcorp Inc. and Goldcorp
Canada Ltd.) owns 40%.

2 for details on drillhole locations)
-

metres (6.98 g/t gold over 9.30 metres using a capped grade of 55.00 g/t gold)
commencing at the overburden/bedrock interface (27.00 to 33.30 metres
downhole)
-
TW14-352: 11.25 g/t gold over 6.50 metres including 33.58 g/t gold over 1.90
metres (12.50 to 15.90 metres downhole)
-
TW14-357: 8.22 g/t gold over 10.30 metres including 27.28 g/t gold over 2.20
metres (31.00 to 41.30 metres downhole)
-
TW14-344: 3.93 g/t gold over 5.10 metres including 16.90 g/t gold over 0.40
metres (27.50 to 35.90 metres downhole)
-
TW14-359: 2.71 g/t gold over 17.20 metres including 5.35 g/t gold over 6.20
metres (29.50 to 38.80 metres downhole)
-
TW14-345: 2.06 g/t gold over 22.50 metres including 5.35 g/t gold over 1.90
metres (31.70 to 54.20 metres downhole)
Commented Ian Campbell , President and CEO, Temex Resources Corp., "These
results continue to solidify our confidence on the 110 Zone, selected
as the initial start-up for our advanced exploration program. These
drill results are from the western portion of the Zone and build on our
most recent results, again with excellent near surface high grade gold
mineralization over significant widths, further demonstrating the
opportunity for low capital expenditure/early start-up in the heart of
the Timmins gold camp."
The current program is focussed on the 110 Zone, located on the eastern
part of the Property, which was selected as optimal for advanced
exploration bulk sampling through a small open pit and due to
anticipated low capital and operating costs based on ease of access,
surface exposure and shallow dip. The purpose of the drilling is to
further define the geometry of the structure to a vertical depth of 50
metres in order to facilitate detailed engineering and geotechnical
work.
Twenty-six of the thirty-three drill holes reported on this program to
date intersected the 110 Zone quartz vein structure continuing to
demonstrate excellent continuity of the Zone over the 230 metres of
strike length now tested. Holes TW14-342 to TW14-360 progressively
defined the Zone another 120 metres further west of the previously
reported drilling. Four holes intersected visible gold within the Zone
(Table 1) while four other holes intercepted an unmineralized fault
window through the middle of the zone.
The 110 Zone, typical of mineralogy historically mined at the Hallnor
Mine, is comprised of sheeted extension vein stockworks accompanied by
quartz, sericite and disseminated pyrite alteration haloes. It is
ideally suited to open pit extraction due to its unique shallow 40
degree north dipping structure and shallow exposure at the bedrock
surface.
Results from additional holes will be reported as they become available.

Notes:
*Denotes visible gold in core.
Temex has implemented a quality control (QA/QC) program that includes
insertion of blanks, commercial standards and duplicate core samples in
order to ensure best practice in sampling and analysis. Drill core
samples are cut at Temex on-site facilities using a diamond saw with
the samples transported by Temex personnel in securely sealed bags
directly to Activation Laboratories (Actlabs) facilities in Timmins,
Ontario for preparation and analysis. Core samples are analyzed for
gold using fire assay on a 30 gram split with an ICP finish. Where
initial results exceed 3 g/t gold, a second assay is completed on
another 30 gram split using fire assay with a gravimetric finish. When
visible gold is noted in the drill core, samples are analyzed with
screen metallic and the procedure is up to 1000 g split is taken and
sieved at 100 mesh; the entire +100 mesh fraction is fired and the -100
mesh is fired in duplicate. As part of in-house QA/QC Actlabs inserts
certified gold standards, blanks and pulp duplicate samples. Random
additional repeats are also analyzed as required. Additionally Temex
routinely inserts its own internal certified gold standards and
blanks. Results from all internal QC samples and repeats are
reported. Intervals reported are core lengths. True widths are
unknown at this time.
