(firmenpresse) - HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/27/12 -- Gregory Isenor, P.Geo., President and CEO of Merrex Gold Inc. ("Merrex") (TSX VENTURE: MXI) is pleased to provide the following update on the continuing diamond drill program at the Siribaya Gold Project in West Mali:
Diamond Drill Program Highlights
Commentary
"The recent diamond drill assay results continue to evidence the continuity of gold mineralization within the eastern substructure" said Merrex President and CEO Greg Isenor. "The possibility of cross-structures as controls of mineralization, as seen in other deposits in West Mali, and the benefit of reorienting the drill direction to more north south in some areas are being considered. We are encouraged by the extent of the mineralization, and diamond drilling to increase the resource is continuing."
Diamond Drill Program Update
Assays have been received and compiled for a further 14 diamond drill holes at the Merrex-Iamgold joint exploration program at the Siribaya Gold Project in West Mali. All drill holes were in the eastern substructure. See map attached.
The continuity of gold mineralization is expanding within the eastern substructure with significant intersections in hole SRD11-128 (assays include 15 metres of 0.97 g/t Au) and hole TYD11-49 (assays include 10 metres of 0.79 g/t Au).
The 2012 diamond drill program is underway with 10,000 metres planned.
