TerraX extends Ptarmigan Zone 400 meters northwest; Ptarmigan channel sampling returns 53.85 g/t Au over 1.80m

25 July 2018

TerraX Minerals Inc. is pleased to announce further assay results from the Company’s ongoing summer field program  on the Yellowknife City Gold project.
David Suda, President and CEO stated: “The summer program continues to yield results that confirm the potential of the Yellowknife City Gold Project as a district scale camp. Surface results, magnetic imaging, and geochemistry data will provide a roadmap to future drilling on our most prospective targets. The Northbelt remains our core area of focus but we are systematically sampling 10km away on the Eastbelt with encouraging results”
Continued channel sampling and prospecting assay results come from the area immediately northwest of the past producing Ptarmigan Mine on Eastbelt. Detailed mapping and prospecting extends the Ptarmigan zone 400 meters northwest of previously reported channel sampling with a 19.00 g/t Au grab sample along the Ptarmigan trend. Channel sample results were cut from outcrop southeast of previously reported channels (24.75 g/t Au over 5.50 m including 44.82 g/t Au over 3.00 m reported on July 12, 2018) following the Ptarmigan vein trend and sampling across the gold mineralized structures. Assay results for gold range up to 124 g/t Au in a 0.70 m channel sample from Channel ECH18-039.  Mineralized intervals for the sampled areas (ECH18-034, 038, 039 and  ECH18-041) are indicated on the maps available here and include:

  • ECH18-034 - 4.76 g/t Au over 2.00 m
  • ECH18-038 - 6.60 g/t Au over 2.10 m 
  • ECH18-039 – 53.85 g/t Au over 1.80 m
  • ECH18-041 - 18.13 g/t Au over 3.10 m
