KELOWNA, BC, Dec. 3, 2020 /CNW/ - Metalex Ventures Ltd.
(TSXV:MTX) (the "Company") has been exploring for gold,
base metals and diamonds in southern to central Quebec since 2002 and to date 8,579 heavy
mineral samples have been collected and analyzed from a survey area
of over 250,000 square kilometres.
Forty-nine high priority gold anomalies, containing both
anomalous concentrations and physical amounts of gold, have been
identified within the survey area. These anomalies are
defined by multiple samples that not only contain gold, but
associated pathfinder elements and other associated metals that
indicate that a bedrock source is nearby.
Metalex has staked claims covering three of the highest gold
anomalies. One of the gold anomalies staked is also
accompanied by the most anomalous scandium result in the
dataset.
Scandium added to aluminum produces alloys that are far stronger
and are 30 to 40% lighter than steel. Consequently,
scandium-aluminum alloys are very valuable and in demand in the
aerospace, automotive and military industries.
To fund exploration on the three recently staked gold claims and
to define the up-ice source areas of 46 additional high priority
gold anomalies, Metalex is reviewing financing options. In
connection with the financing, Metalex is proposing to consolidate
its shares and settle debt related to exploration expenses
totalling $2.75M owing to companies
associated with Dr. Charles Fipke,
the Chairman of the Company, by the issuance of shares. These
transactions are all subject to the acceptance of the TSX Venture
Exchange.
The technical information and results reported here have been
reviewed by Mr. Chad Ulansky
P.Geol., a Qualified Person under National Instrument
43-101, who is responsible for the technical content of this
release.
