Pasinex Identifies Lead-zinc Anomaly at Akkaya, Adana Province
VANCOUVER, Sept. 19, 2012 /CNW/ - Pasinex Resources Ltd. (CNSX : PSE) (the "Company" or "Pasinex") is pleased to report that ongoing fieldwork on the Company's 50% owned Akkaya Property has identified two, significant geochemical anomalies which coincide along a known, northeast trending zinc mineralized belt of carbonate-dominated and minor clastic sedimentary rocks. The Akkaya anomalies are located along a 80 kilometer-long corridor between the historical Horzum Zinc Mine in the south and the historical Akcal/Belbasi Zinc Mines near Tufanbeyli in the north. The larger of the two anomalies stretches 600 meters in length and 300 meters in width along the southern portion of the property. This news release should be read in conjunction with the series of maps and conceptual models captioned as 'Pasinex Akkaya Results,' available on the Company's website at, 'http://pasinex.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/Akkaya-results-Sept-2012.pdf.'
Akkaya Property
The Akkaya Property is a part of the joint-venture land package that was staked by Pasinex and Akmetal AS and the Company is targeting limestone rock which has the potential to host lead/zinc mineralization in the Horzum region of Adana province. These types of host rocks are well-documented as primary targets for Mississippi-type lead/zinc deposits and, despite the existence of a number of small zinc mines and mineral occurrences in the corridor, there are no recorded exploration initiatives of this large region for new zinc deposits using modern exploration methods. It is for this reason that Pasinex remains optimistic about this property and will work diligently to have Akkaya drill-ready by the end of 2012.
2012 - Soil Geochemistry Results
Highest Zn (ppm) | Lowest Zn (ppm) | Highest Pb (ppm) | Lowest Pb (ppm) | Zn>500 (ppm) | Pb>500 (ppm) | Pb>1000 (ppm) | |
Soil | 949.62 | 15.35 | 4387.69 | 6.18 | 34 samples | 42 samples | 10 samples |
Total Soil Samples: 623 |
The soil program consisted of 623 of samples taken every 25 meters on lines oriented east-west and separated by 100 meters. The samples were taken from the "B" soil horizon and were analyzed with a Niton XL3t 950 GOLDD+ XRF by the Company. Results ranged from 15.35 - 949.62 ppm Zn and 6.18 - 4387.69 ppm Pb. Quality control was carried out by check analysis at the ALS Chemex laboratory in Pinarbasi/Izmir, Turkey. Pasinex is satisfied with the accuracy and precision of the Niton XRF results.
