VANCOUVER, June 19, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Pasinex Resources Limited (CSE:PSE) (FSE:PNX) is pleased to announce the results of the first four diamond drill holes from its 50% owned Pinargozu zinc-lead project in Adana Province, Turkey. Pinargozu is also 50% owned by Pasinex's partner in Adana, Akmetal Madencilik San ve Tic A.Ş.
Highlight of this first phase of drilling is borehole PPU14-15 which intersected 16.80 meters of mixed oxide and sulphide zinc/lead/silver ore grading 39.0% zinc, 1.6% lead and 85 grams per ton silver within a total drilled length of 24.80 meters. The difference between intersected length and drilled length is partly accounted for by cavities within the mineralization, and partly by poor core recovery in areas of friable ore. All assays were carried out by SGS Turkey in Ankara on half-core prepared by Pasinex in Adana.
Borehole PPU14-15 was drilled to test the depth extent of massive mixed oxide/sulphide Zn/Pb/Ag mineralization exposed on the 707 level of the Pinargozu prospect while preparing a drill location in late 2013 – subsequent mining of which on this level has shown it to have a width of two to four meters and a length of approximately twenty meters. Borehole PPU14-15 indicates that the mineralization extends at least 20 meters below the 707 level (Figure 1).

The mineralization in borehole PPU14-15 lies between marble (0m to 13.80m) and grey limestone (44.00 to 58.00m), and is considered to be situated at the same stratigraphic level as the zinc (with subsidiary copper) mineralization at the neighbouring Horzum Mine.
Table 1 below presents the detailed core recovery and analytical results for borehole PPU14-15.

Steve Williams, CEO, comments "That we have encountered such a large accumulation of mineralization so early in our exploration of Pinargozu is most encouraging. The fact that the mineralization is open at depth, and at the same stratigraphic level as the Horzum Mine, bodes well for the prospect of finding a deposit of a similar scale at Pinargozu. The fact that Pinargozu mineralization appears to be richer in lead and silver than Horzum is an added bonus."
