Amex Recovers in Excess of 99% Gold and Silver in Metallurgical Testwork From Three Composite Samples from the HGZ at Perron
MONTREAL, QUEBEC / August 27, 2020 / Amex Exploration Inc. ("Amex or the Company") (TSXV:AMX)(FRA:MX0)(OTCQX:AMXEF) is very pleased to report metallurgical results from the High Grade Zone (HGZ), located in the Eastern Gold Zone (EGZ) on the 100% owned Perron property in northwestern Quebec, Canada. Complete metallurgical results are provided in Table 1. All three composite samples, representing high, medium, and low grade mineralization characteristic of the HGZ, were found to be amenable to gravity, flotation, and cyanidation, with overall gold and silver recoveries greater than 99%. It is likely, based on these results, that a simple gravity-cyanidation flowsheet would be sufficient to achieve very high recoveries. Metallurgical work was completed by SGS Canada Inc., a leader in metallurgical and analytical studies.
Kelly Malcolm, Vice President Exploration of Amex said, "As we continue to rapidly advance the Perron project towards a future maiden resource, we wanted to confirm the amenability of the mineralization to conventional milling operations with a particular interest in the gravity recoverability of the gold and silver in the system. Results exceeded our expectations, confirming the simple nature of the coarse gold in the High Grade Zone. These initial results indicate that not only would most conventional milling operations result in very high metal recoveries, but also that mineralization at Perron is suitable for the majority of nearby active mills in the Abitibi region of Quebec and Ontario. The Company plans to complete additional metallurgical work in the future on the Denise, Grey Cat, and Gratien zones as well, with all of those zones sharing similar visible gold and low sulfide mineralization."
