AMERIX ANNOUNCES DRILL RESULTS FROM NOVA BRASILIA
Amerix Precious Metals Corp. is releasing additional assay results from the 2006 exploration program at the Nova Brasilia prospect on its Vila Porto Rico (VPR) gold property in Para State, Brazil. The program, which was completed in October, comprising a total of 2,564.5 metres of diamond drilling in 15 holes on the Nova Brasilia shear zone at VPR.
The drill and assay results revealed that gold is associated with sulfide-rich zones that have formed along brittle fractures. Several high-grade gold-bearing sulfide zones were intersected, and these zones appear to be continuous for a long distance (900 metres). The association of gold with pyrite and chalcopyrite in brittle-fracture zones makes the Nova Brasilia prospect highly favourable for prospecting by electromagnetic geophysical methods that are planned for early in 2007.
For previously released results please see Stockwatch's report of Sept. 21, 2006. The assay results from the Nova Brasilia program which have been received to date are provided on the Corporation's website.
