Pasinex Announces Start to Comprehensive Ground Penetrating Radar Surveys of Zinc-Lead Targets on Its Pinargozu and Akkaya Properties in Turkey and Closing of Over-Subscribed Private Placement

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 7, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pasinex Resources Limited (CSE:PSE) (FSE:PNX) (the "Company" or "Pasinex") is pleased to announce that, the Company began comprehensive Ground Penetrating Radar ("GPR") surveying over the Pinargozu Property on the 3^rd of April. Further, GPR surveying over the Akkaya Property is scheduled to begin on the 8^th of April, after which time the GPR survey equipment will be shared between these two properties and the nearby Horzum-Mine Property on an ongoing basis to identify drill targets on all three properties.

In order to ensure the best possible outcomes to these surveys, the Company has entered into a contract with International Groundradar Consulting Inc. ("Groundradar") whereby the Company will use GroundRadar's UltraGPR equipment for all surface GPR surveys and Groundradar will undertake all the preliminary data processing for the Company, ahead of geological interpretation of survey results jointly by Groundradar and Pasinex.

Groundradar has also been contracted to carry out all preliminary data processing of underground GPR surveys undertaken using a Mala 100MHz shielded antenna GPR device on the Horzum Mine.

As reported by Pasinex in a news release dated 3^rd of March, 2014, penetration depths from surface to 80 meters were achieved in the carbonate rocks on both the Pinargozu and Akkaya properties using an UltraGPR antenna. Radar reflection signatures indicative of geological features relevant to potential mineralization and drill targeting were visible over the full penetration depth.

Pasinex therefore believes that the results of these GPR surveys will materially assist in achieving optimal targeting of drilling planned for later this year at both Akkaya and Pinargozu.

Steve Williams, the Company's CEO, comments that, "Pasinex saw some very valuable results from our first round of ground penetrating radar, so based on this it was clear that we wanted to complete a detailed survey for Pinargozu and Akkaya. We believe that once this work is completed we will have very clear drill targets identified that we expect to start drilling soon after completion of the GPR work."

Pinargozu and Akkaya are owned 50% by Pasinex through Horzum AS, its joint venture company with Turkish mining company, Akmetal AS.
