Almadex Initiates Exciting New Exploration Project
Almadex Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V: DEX) has officially embarked on a thrilling journey by acquiring a 100% interest in the Red Antler exploration project. This remarkable development marks a significant milestone for Almadex as it integrates this new venture into its ongoing exploration efforts.
Understanding the Red Antler Project
The Red Antler property is characterized by unique geological features, particularly rhyolitic volcanics that have undergone alteration alongside quartz veining. During the initial field visit, the team identified advanced argillic alteration in volcanic rocks as an essential criterion for this site's potential. The team performed preliminary assessments across a 2 by 1 km area, noting the distinct vein textures typical of a low sulphidation epithermal system—a promising sign for early-stage exploration.
Sample Analysis and Early Findings
To gain more insight into the mineral potential, 34 grab rock samples were collected from both outcrops and float material. The results from these grab samples were particularly encouraging—12 samples returned over 1 g/t silver, with one sample achieving a remarkable 24 g/t silver. The average across all samples was 1.4 g/t silver. This discovery speaks volumes about the high level of preservation of the epithermal system, which could translate to a favorable mining environment.
Future Exploration Plans
Almadex is not resting on its laurels. Recently, the company conducted a stage two mapping and sampling program to refine understanding of the vein geometry and geochemistry. Additionally, preliminary surface geophysics were undertaken to gather further data. Almadex plans to release these results once they have been compiled and thoroughly interpreted.
Management's Vision
J Duane Poliquin, Chairman of Almadex, expressed enthusiasm regarding the ongoing regional exploration programs that have allowed the company to identify new acquisition targets. Poliquin noted that the Red Antler project presents a promising epithermal vein system, which the team is eager to explore further in the months ahead. He conveyed confidence that the year ahead holds tremendous potential for Almadex and its development projects.
