Margaux Resources Ltd. Reports Additional Drilling Results

CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Dec. 2, 2014) - Margaux Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MRL) ("Margaux" or the "Company") is pleased to release results from holes E1412 through to E1423 from the Company's 2014 core drilling program at the Jersey-Emerald Tungsten Property (the "Property"), located near the town of Salmo in south-eastern British Columbia.

Drilling is currently continuing on the Property, extending the program from the original drill program that comprised 5,740 metres in 32 holes. Drilling is focussed on the East Emerald Tungsten target.

Highlights from holes E1412 to E1423 include:

  • 0.59% WO3 over a drilled length of 2.65 m in E1412
  • 0.22% WO3 over a drilled length of 6.71 m in E1413
  • 0.35% WO3 over a drilled length of 4.00 m in E1414
  • 0.33% WO3 over a drilled length of 6.45 m in E1419 including 0.65 grams per tonne Au
  • 0.14% WO3 over a drilled length of 1.40 m in E1422 including 1.32 grams per tonne Au
  • 0.27% WO3 over a drilled length of 7.05 m in E1423

Core samples continue to be received at the laboratory and analysis is ongoing. The composites for tungsten (WO3) for holes E1412 to E1423 are shown in Table 1.

* The true widths of the mineralized intercepts may be less than the drilled lengths reported. Further interpretation using all drilling results is required to determine the true widths.
** WO3 calculated as W x 1.2611

On November 5, 2014, Margaux released the results from the first 10 of the 32 holes drilled. Highlights from the first 10 holes include:

  • 0.23% WO3 over a drilled length of 8.65 m in E1402
  • 0.49% WO3 over a drilled length of 2.75 m in E1404
  • 0.50% WO3 over a drilled length of 4.50 m in E1409
  • 0.52% WO3 over a drilled length of 3.35 m in E1410 including 2.19 grams per tonne Au

Note: The true widths of mineralization are likely less than the drilled lengths presented above.

Drilling continues to identify broad zones of mineralized skarn that contain significant tungsten.

Gold

On November 6, 2014, Margaux released the results from hole E1411.

  • 24.98 g/t gold over a drilled length of 10.2 m in E1411

This gold intercept from altered granite supports the bismuth-gold potential of the Property as described in several publications and summarized in the Margaux technical report dated March 14, 2014 (available on www.SEDAR.com).

Gold has been intercepted in skarn in holes E1410, E1419, and E1422. These results (Table 2) demonstrate the potential for gold within and proximal to tungsten mineralization.

Lead-Zinc-Silver

Some holes that were collared stratigraphically above the tungsten zone passed through the Jersey lead-zinc horizon. Samples from this horizon returned elevated values for lead, zinc, and silver (Table 3).

These intercepts suggest the potential for additional lead-zinc-silver resources on the Property. The current lead-zinc resource estimate, as summarized in the Margaux technical report dated March 14, 2014 (available on SEDAR.com), has an indicated resource of 1.9 Mt averaging 1.96% lead and 4.10% zinc, and an inferred resource of 4.98 Mt averaging 1.95% lead and 3.37% zinc, using a 3.5% combined lead-zinc cut-off grade.

Qualified Person

The Company's 2014 drilling program at the Property was conducted under the supervision of Mr. Edward Lawrence, P.Eng, who is the Company's Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. He has reviewed and approved the technical disclosure contained in this news release as applicable.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control ("QA/QC") Procedures

Drill core is logged and photographed at a secure building on the Property. Mineralized intervals were halved using a manual core splitter, and sampled at site. The remainder of the core was kept in the box as a permanent record. Samples were placed into sealed bags that were delivered by a commercial trucking company to the AcmeLabs facility in North Vancouver.

The samples were assayed for tungsten and 36 other elements using aqua regia digestion with an ICP-MS finish. Over-grade tungsten was analyzed using a phosphoric acid leach with an ICP-ES finish, and over-grade molybdenum, lead, and zinc were analyzed using a four acid digestion with an ICP-ES finish. Over-grade gold was analyzed using a 30 g fire assay with gravimetric finish.

Margaux has implemented a rigorous industry-standard QA/QC program that includes the blind insertion of certified reference materials, duplicates, and blanks into the sample stream.

About Margaux Resources Ltd.: Margaux is based in Calgary, Alberta and a publicly traded resource company with oil and gas exploration and production and an option on the Jersey Emerald Tungsten-Zinc Property near Salmo, British Columbia.
