Initial Drilling On The Bruner Property
KELOWNA, BC - Cantex Mine Development Corp. reported the first five of fourteen reverse circulation drill holes on its 100% owned Bruner property in Nevada. The property is located in Nye County, Nevada. The drill holes were drilled using reverse circulation drilling with hole diameters between 140 and 146mm. A representative split of the sample was collected off the drill and sent for geochemical analysis. Another split of the sample has been stored on site. Samples were securely transported to the ALS Chemex Laboratory in Reno, Nevada. Here the samples were dried and crushed to 70% passing 2 mm before a 250 gram split was pulverized to 85% passing 75 micrometers. The samples were then analyzed using the AuME-TL43 technique which involves the Aqua Regia digestion of a 25 gram charge and analysis by ICP-MS and ICP-AES.
Drill testing at the Weepah South property determined that the source of the conductive geophysical anomaly was graphite interbedded in Paleozoic carbonate rocks rather than the hoped for conductive gold mineralized target. Analytical results confirmed that gold mineralization was not present and no additional work is planned for these claims. Five drill holes were completed on the 100% owned Baxter Springs property and analytical results are pending.Roads and three drill pads have been constructed at the Carico Lake property. Three holes totaling 1,100 meters are to be drilled as soon as a suitable drill is available.
