TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / November 14, 2019 / PJX Resources Inc. (TSXV:PJX) ("PJX" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that the New Massive Sulphide ("NMS") mineralization recently intersected by drilling may be part of a laterally extensive horizon. Magnetotelluric (MT) geophysics supports that the conductive NMS zone may extend for kilometres to the northwest. The Sullivan massive sulphide deposit also occurred in a laterally extensive horizon. The Vine Property is located 35 kilometres south of the Sullivan Mine that closed in 2001, near Cranbrook, British Columbia, Canada.
"Only seven drill holes have tested the NMS horizon in vicinity of the large MT target," states John Keating. "Two of these holes intersected massive sulphide mineralization with zinc, lead, copper, and silver. The two holes are 700 metres apart with no other holes between them. The holes have only tested a small part of the large MT target. There remains a large unexplored area with potential to discover a significant deposit."

Highlights
- Recent PJX drill hole VA19-48 intersected a new massive sulphide ("NMS") zone, from 777.1 - 782.6 metres. The zone has 4 layers that consist largely of iron-sulphides with anomalous zinc, copper, lead, and silver.
- Historical hole KV90-41, drilled by Kokanee Exploration in 1990, intersected a 3.4 metre thick massive sulphide zone grading 5.65 lead, 2.7% zinc and 1.2 ounces/ton silver.
- The two holes are 700 metres apart and appear to have intersected the same mineralized NMS horizon.
- No holes have been drilled to test the NMS horizon between these two holes or on strike and down dip to the north and west.
- Magnetotelluric ("MT") Geophysics has identified a large MT target.
- The NMS zone occurs at the top of the large MT target.
- According to Quantec Geoscience data, the large MT target has an 800-metre strike length and can be traced down dip for over 2,000 metres.
- Recent thin section analysis of core samples by Vancouver Petrographics Ltd. has identified granofels alteration, beneath the NMS horizon, that is considered to occur in areas with high heat flow, such as venting environments on the ocean floor; a similar alteration occurs beneath the Sullivan Deposit.
The foregoing geological disclosure has been reviewed and approved by John Keating P.Geo. (qualified persons for the purpose of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects). Mr. Keating is the President, Chief Executive Officer and a Director of PJX.
