Amerix Precious Metals Corporation (TSX Venture: APM, Frankfurt: NJG) has retained the services of Mr. Clinton Davis, P.Geo., to conduct an initial review on the Company's Limão property in the Tapajos Region in central Brazil and to prepare a 43-101 National Instrument report on the merit of the property. Mr. Davis visited the property in late 2009 and an independent random grab sample taken from the sulphide rich syeno-granitic intrusive rocks returned a high grade result of 57.4 grams per tonne gold or 1.67 ounces per tonne.
Mr. Davis's review and property visit confirmed the gold potential on the Limão gold property as reported in the Company's news release on November 2, 2009. Fourteen samples taken by the Company from the syeno-granitic intrusive rocks averaged 38.5 grams per tonne gold or 1.12 ounces per tonne. Values ranged from 2.37 to 106.6 grams per tonne gold or 0.069 to 3.76 ounces per tonne gold.
The Limão property is situated along the northwest-southeast Tocantinzinho trend. This trend hosts notable gold properties such as Eldorado and Brazauro Resources's (TSXV:BZO) Tocantinzinho property and Magellan Mineral's Cuiu-Cuiu property. Between 1987 and 1990, Mineração Pompeia carried out systematic prospecting in the area which included geochemical and geophysical surveys followed by a small drill program in an area previously mined by locals. Holes drilled under an open pit returned promising results, such as 47 grams per tonne gold over 13 metres and 18.7 grams per tonne gold over 6.8 metres. During 1994 and 1995, Barrick Gold (NYSE:ABX) (TSX:ABX) conducted a review of the area and took 15 samples of the syeno-granite in the pit area and returned values from 1.75 grams per tonne gold to 25 grams per tonne gold. Additional work conducted and reported by Barrick Gold also identified several gold anomalies outside the area of the open pit. It must be noted that the previous exploration has not been verified.
The independent random grab sample taken by Mr. Davis was prepared and analyzed at SGS Geosol Laboratories LTDA (a certified laboratory) in Brazil, by fire assay (50-gram) method with atomic absorption finish. Mr. Jeffrey Reeder, P.Geo, and President and CEO of Amerix, is a qualified person as defined in National Policy 43-101, and is responsible for all technical information contained in this news release.
