January 10, 2023 – Rouyn-Noranda, Québec, Canada. GLOBEX MINING ENTERPRISES INC. (GMX – Toronto Stock Exchange, G1MN – Frankfurt, Stuttgart, Berlin, Munich, Tradegate, Lang & Schwarz, LS Exchange, TTMzero, Düsseldorf and Quotrix Düsseldorf Stock Exchanges and GLBXF – OTCQX International in the US) is pleased to provide shareholders with an update on drilling by Maple Gold Mines Ltd. (MGM-TSXV) on the Eagle Mine property under option from Globex (See Globex Press release dated July 19, 2021).
Maple has announced final results “from (5) follow-up holes for which partial results were previously reported (see Maple news release of December 13, 2022) targeting northwest extensions of the main mine horizon and along multiple sub-parallel gold horizons (see Figures below).”
“The company’s latest drilling in the northern splay of the main mine horizon (the “North Mine Horizon”) has returned the best intercept to-date.”
Highlights: (per Maple press release)
- Drill hole EM-22-015 intersected 10.3 g/t gold (“Au”) over 7.8 metres (“m”), including 41.1 g/t Au over 1.0 m in the North Mine Horizon.
- Further up-hole, EM-22-015 intersected 4.3 g/t Au over 3.9 m, including 6.6 g/t Au over 2.0 m, demonstrating the potential for the North Mine Horizon to be wider than what was previously interpreted (see Figure 2).
- The EM-22-015 intercepts are located down-plunge from historical high-grade, near-surface drill results from a geologically similar hole (E-19: 19.6 g/t Au over 7.9 m, as well as 17.5 g/t Au over 5.6 m further up-hole) in an area with limited drilling that remains open further down-plunge (see Figure 3).
- EM-22-015 has now returned seven (7) separate intercepts over a 120 m interval starting from 142.5 m downhole.
- Assays are still pending for roughly 20% of the Company’s 2022 drilling at Eagle.
“Drill results continue to support the Company’s view that multiple sub-parallel gold horizons exist beyond what was historically mined at Eagle and have expanded our target areas along a broader mineralized corridor over a stratigraphic thickness that now exceeds 100 metres in width,” stated Matthew Hornor, CEO of Maple Gold. “There is an apparent concentration of >10 g/t gold starting near surface and extending down-plunge to the EM-22-015 intercepts along the North Mine Horizon in an area with limited drilling that remains open further down-plunge. This represents just one of several compelling follow-up targets that we are excited to pursue in 2023.”
Globex is pleased with the progress by Maple to date on the optioned Eagle Mine Property.
