Silvore Fox Minerals Corp. reports that it has entered into a contract with Aeroquest International Ltd. (“Aeroquest”) to conduct a comprehensive airborne geophysical survey over the Corporation’s flagship Coxheath copper porphyry property in Nova Scotia, Canada. Aeroquest will fly a 462 line-kilometre survey of high resolution Aero TEM IV MAG-TDEM and Radiometrics over areas of interest encompassing the Corporation’s mineral claims at Coxheath.

In addition, the Corporation has also contracted CGI Controlled Geophysics Inc. (“CGI”) to manage this airborne program on behalf of the Corporation. CGI has extensive experience with modern geophysical techniques, data processing, project management and geophysical interpretation.

This phase of the exploration program, as per the Corporation’s Press Release dated May 28^th, 2010, is designed to provide new geoscientific information to help further the understanding of the mineral potential of the property. The results of the survey will aid in delineating the potential size and scope of the property’s structural framework and associated copper, gold, silver and molybdenum mineralization. In addition, the survey will provide important information on highly prospective and underexplored areas of the property, including the newly expanded, contiguous mineral rights. Follow-up field-work will focus on ground-truthing the results of this survey and the integrated data will be applied to develop a diamond drilling program that is anticipated to begin in September 2010. The details of the diamond drill program will be released at a later date.

“I am optimistic that the results of this survey will greatly advance our understanding of the geology and mineralization at Coxheath,” states Harry Cabrita, President and CEO. ”It will further enhance the efficiency of the exploration program that will have the assessment of economic significance as its primary objective.”

Creso Exploration Inc. announces the award of a 5000 meter drilling program on the Shining Tree properties that will start this week including deepening by a further 300 m the Minto Hole #2 (18.2 g/t Au over 65.7 meters from 49.3 m to 115 m and 4.61 g/t Au over 79.6 meters from 132.4 m to 212 m – see) in order to do more down-hole geophysics and better delineate the gold bearing zone. Concurrently, Creso will initiate a detailed helicopter survey at 30m line spacing that will focus primarily on the Minto, Matona, Tyranite and Duggan Zones to outline known gold mineralization areas.

Creso has signed two airborne geophysical contracts with Terraquest Ltd both of which will start in July. The helicopter survey which will include Single Sensor High Resolution Aero-magnetics, Radiometrics and XDS/VLF-EM systems is based on 1779 line kilometers to be flown at low altitude with a 30m line spacing. The fix-wing aircraft will survey the entire eastern half of the Shining Tree properties covering large areas of the Tyrrell, Knight and Milner Townships survey and will include High Resolution Aero-magnetics, Horizontal Gradiometer, Radiometrics and XDS/VLF-EM systems over 5853 line kilometers at a 100m line spacing.

The combination of these two surveys is particularly well adapted to the Shining Tree Area where contrasts in hydrothermal alteration, mineralized volcanic and intrusive rocks, and complex structural features are common. Radiometric surveys will aid in delineating potassium enriched alteration zones commonly associated with gold mineralization in the area.

Creso Exploration intersects 65.7 meters of 18.2 g/t g and 79.6 meters of 4.61 g/t Gold in Hole #2 on the Minto Project.

The Minto showing consists of a pod of carbonate sulphide breccias containing an estimated tonnage of 225,000 tons (204,000 t) grading 0.2 oz per t (6.8 g/t) Au to a vertical depth of 225m as determined and reported in 1984.  Gold is related to pyrite and quartz veining trending north south and northeast southwest.

From surface geology the upper zone presents a true width of 30 meters. The bottom zone is new and no true width has been determined yet. According to JVX Ltd, the down‐hole geophysical interpretation completed on the Minto property, indicates that the mineralized body extends in a north‐west/south‐east direction at a depth of 50 to 170 meters and is open at depth. The Corporation will drill a step‐out hole for the purpose of further defining the location of the body using more down‐hole geophysics.

In May 2010, Borehole Induced Polarization (BHIP) surveys were done on the Tyranite and Minto properties. Results from the Tyranite hole are not yet available. 3D conductivity and chargeability models from boreholes gradient IP data have been calculated for holes M‐0901 and M‐0902 on the Minto property.

The Corporation has completed down‐hole geophysical testing on the MacMurchy property and intersected 7.4% nickel and 2 g/t platinum and palladium over one meter in hole D6‐07 confirming the nickel potential of the area. The MacMurchy property is located in the southwest corner of the MacMurchy Township some 10 km SSW of the Minto property.

The Corporation is currently evaluating bids for an agreement for a 200‐kilometer low level airborne (Mag, VLFEM, and radiometric) geophysical survey to cover the Minto, Tyranite and Duggan zone on a 30‐metre spacing in order to define geological structures and mineralized zones. Upon completion of the geophysical survey, the Corporation will undertake a 5000‐meter drill program on the Minto, Tyranite and Duggan properties.

Conductivity Model

The 3D conductivity model represented by an iso-surface value of 0.005 S/m shows three conductive features. The first conductive feature is at shallow depth and is strong in the west direction as well as in the east direction. The second conductive feature is disseminated in the middle while the third conductive feature is at depth and to the southeast. 

Chargeability Model

The 3D chageability model shows three chargeable features. The third chargeable feature (northwest – southeast) at depth is strongest. The second and third inversion shells correlate with the gold mineralization.

In May 2010, Borehole Induced Polarization (BHIP) surveys were done on the Tyranite and Minto properties. Results from the Tyranite hole are not yet available. 3D conductivity and chargeability models from boreholes gradient IP data have been calculated for holes M-0901 and M-0902 on the Minto property.

The Corporation has completed down-hole geophysical testing on the MacMurchy property and intersected 7.4% nickel and 2 g/t platinum and palladium over one meter in hole D6-07 confirming the nickel potential of the area.

Samples were assayed at the facilities of Swastika Laboratories of Kirkland Lake (Swastika, Ontario) a certified and accredited laboratory by a standard fire assay method. All samples with greater than 1.0 g/t Au were re-assayed by a pulp and metallics method. Above interval values are weighted averages.

Creso announces drill results from the MINTO Project located half-way between Timmins and Sudbury in Ontario - 65.7 Meters of 18.2 g/t g and 79.6 Meters of 4.61 g/t Gold in Hole #2.

The Minto showing consists of a pod of carbonate sulphide breccias containing an estimated tonnage of 225,000 tons (204,000 t) grading 0.2 oz per t (6.8 g/t) Au to a vertical depth of 225m as determined and reported in 1984 by Duncan Gold Resources, (White 2007) **. Gold is related to pyrite and quartz veining trending north south and northeast southwest.

Trueclaim Exploration Inc.  an explorer and developer of precious and base metals,  announces the completion of preliminary results of the airborne geophysical survey undertaken on the property and a summary of its activities on the Scadding Property.

The preliminary data from the recent airborne survey undertaken on the Scadding property and surrounding area has now been received, geo-referenced and overlain with our in-house interactive digital map base consisting of the underlying topography, claim fabric, geology maps, known mineral occurrences and other layers and classes. This survey, consisting of 2,943.9 line kilometres and covering an area of approximately 244.3 square kilometres, was undertaken by Terraquest of Markham Ontario. This survey was comprised of a total field magnetometer survey, horizontal gradient magnetometer surveys, a radiometric survey for each of Potassium, Thorium and Uranium as well as their recently developed triaxial VLF survey. Variations in the strength of the magnetic field have been used for to determine different rock types or alteration zones that could be related to gold mineralization. The variations in potassium content can be used to discriminate rock types as well as locating zones of anomalous potassium content (potassic alteration) within lithologies that normally have low values of this element. Potassic alteration has, in some cases, been known to be associated with gold mineralization. The triaxial VLF survey will allow for the better discrimination of conductors in a variety of orientations. The area of the survey included peripheral properties of several claim holders who also participated in the cost of the survey over their properties. At this time further work is being undertaken by Terraquest to enhance the quality of a final product.

The results of the preliminary geophysical interpretation of the survey show numerous anomalies that are now being examined on the ground by our field crews. Each person in the field has been equipped with a Garmin Map 60CSx handheld GPS units containing detailed 1:20,000 scale topographical maps of the area to ensure accurate and efficient location and examination in the field.

At this time three teams are simultaneously working on the property. Team 1 consists of a geologist and helper currently stripping, washing and mapping in the immediate area of the Scadding minesite to enhance information collected from our phase 1 drill program to be combined in our existing 3D model for enhanced targeting in the proposed phase 2 drill program. Team 2 consists of a geologist and 2 prospectors who are currently examining and sampling airborne anomalies and other sites outside the area of the Scadding minesite. The information collected from this work will be used to determine the best areas for further examination by detailed ground geophysics, geochemistry, stripping, washing, mapping and potentially diamond drilling where warranted. Team 3 consists of the senior geologist and a logistics coordinator and is focused on co-ordination of field activities, collection of data, preparation and submission of data as well as assessment reporting. Currently in addition to the submission of upcoming assessment work, detailed local sitemaps are being prepared for the examination and mapping of the many known gold, base metal and platinum group metal showings known on the site.

A geochemical and magnetic susceptibility analysis of the core was also undertaken comparing some of the gold mineralized areas with non-mineralized areas. This study has revealed some interesting correlations that are currently being studied further. It is felt that the results of this work may help in discriminating non-mineralized chlorite from the mineralized chlorite in which most of the gold occurs at the minesite.

BOWMORE Exploration Ltd. has announced that it has contracted MPX Geophysics Ltd. of Markham Ontario, to conduct a helicopter-borne geophysical survey on its recently acquired “Natora-South” now called “CHIVAS” property covering over 24,000 hectares in Sonora, Mexico. The Chivas property is located in the Sierra Madre Occidental known for its numerous gold-silver mines. The airborne survey is scheduled to commence this week and will be completed by May 25. The flown pattern takes into account the geological trend and the major structures interpreted from the government regional magnetic survey. A total of 568 km will be flown covering an area of 75 square kilometres. The high sensitivity aeromagnetic survey was designed to detect any major structure or underlying intrusion known to be associated with the gold mineralisation in the district. The radiometrics will identify with more accuracy the zones of alteration interpreted from the Aster image. Argillic and silica alteration zones are recognized in association with mineralisation in the district at Dolores, Mulatos, Pinos Altos and Ocampo major gold mines. Such alterations identified during the survey will be the object of a ground follow up, supported by mapping, prospecting and geochemical sampling.

The data interpretation will be realized by a geophysicist once the survey is completed and the data sets are made available. Bowmore will integrate this new data with existing geological mapping and historical exploration records to generate an interpretation that will be used to direct a more focused gold exploration program. Through the analysis of the survey results Bowmore will study the correlation between the identified structures to the known gold occurrences and alteration zones of the property. The property encompasses Cretaceous limestones overlain by a volcanic series of Cretaceous to Triassic age and intruded by Triassic felsic intrusions similarly to the geological setting described at “Minefinders” Dolores mine located 15 km East, “Alamos” Mulatos deposit 40 km south and “Gammon Gold” Ocampo deposit 80 km south. All these deposits report reserves exceeding 1 million ounces.

--  The Chivas property exhibits several areas with strong argillic and/or
    silicic alteration observed from an ASTER satellite image as observed at
    the Dolores deposit located 15 km to the east. So far, only 2 of those
    areas have been investigated by restricted drilling;
--  A structural control of the mineralisation is described in several of
    the major surrounding gold deposits; major structures are suggested by
    the regional magnetic map and by the topography within the Chivas
    property block and will be verified by the actual magnetic survey.

Amex Exploration inc. has announced as well that MPX Geophysics Ltd., is starting a helicopter -borne geophysical survey on the recently group of properties bought from Blue Note Mining that includes its 100% owned Nueva Escondida and Natora North under the same contract, the survey will also cover the Natora-South property recently optioned by Bowmore and now called the Chivas property. The group of properties cover over 48,000 hectares in Sonora, Mexico and are all located within the Sierra Madre Occidental gold belt known for its numerous gold-silver mines.

West Africa has in recent years been the world’s fastest growing area for discovery, development, and production of gold, with Mali at the forefront. Merrex has established a permanent, well-equipped exploration camp adjacent to the town of Berekegni.

The ground geophysical program across the Siribaya mega-structure is complete. Gradient array IP on 100 metre spaced lines covered approximately sixteen square kilometres to the north and to the south of Zone 1B, and pole-dipole IP on an orthogonal grid array of 11 E-W lines of 1.5km each and of 16 N-S lines of 1km each surveyed the one square kilometre area of Zone 1B. Several anomalies have been detected and the interpretation of the data is continuing. Identified anomalies will be targeted in future drill programs.

The Siribaya mega-structure has a CIM compliant NI43-101 resource estimate of 4,015,000 tonnes grading 2.39 g/t Indicated (308,200 oz Au) and 946,000 tonnes grading 2.29 g/t Inferred (69,500 oz Au). The NI43-101 resource area is open to the north, south and at depth. The Siribaya mega-structure has yielded ore-grade drill intercepts in a number of selected targets along its entire length.

From June to August 2009 Merrex undertook a high resolution airborne magnetic/radiometric survey on its 800 square kilometre Siribaya Gold Project, including the region of the Siribaya mega-structure and Zones 1A and 1B. The airborne survey conducted by Xcalibur Airborne Geophysics of South Africa totalled 10,122 line-kilometres with 50 metre flight line spacing. Quality control and enhancements were done by Paterson, Grant & Watson Limited of Toronto. The enhanced data were interpreted by Merrex technical personnel.The 2009 high-resolution airborne magnetic/radiometric survey identified extensive structures within the Babara-Kofia Permit Area. Within the 1.5 km wide x 12 km long Siribaya mega-structure, the high resolution airborne survey has revealed a second major sub-structure running parallel to the 1B sub-structure. Soil samples collected at Babara and Kofia and initial termite mound sampling at Babara during the 2009 exploration season have been assayed and analysed.

The survey was initiated by Professor Siyan Malomo, Director General of the NGSA, and it was conducted in two phases. Phase 1 was financed entirely by the Government of Nigeria. All of the airborne geophysical work – data acquisition, processing and interpretation, was carried out by Fugro Airborne Surveys. Phase 1 was completed in September 2007 and included 826,000 line-km of magnetic and radiometric surveys flown at 500 m line spacing and 80 m terrain clearance; and 24,000 line-km of time-domain electromagnetics surveys flown at 500 m line spacing and 80 m terrain clearance using the TEM PEST system. Phase 2, completed August 2009, surveyed blocks not covered in Phase 1. It included 1,104,000 line-km of magnetic and radiometric surveys flown at 500 m line spacing and 80 m terrain clearance. These levels of survey are intensive: often a total of seven aircraft of three different types were active at one time.

MPX Geophysics Ltd. of Markham, Ontario, has begun high resolution, low level, helicopter-borne magnetic and radiometric surveys over 6127 hectares (1359 line kilometers) of the Santana property and peripheral areas for Corex Gold Corporation.

Magnetic susceptibility will be used to delineate fault structures and associated zones of alteration. The radiometric survey will aid in outlining zones of potassic alteration associated with epithermal and porphyry systems.

Target: A multimillion-ounce epithermal gold deposit amenable to open pit mining and heap leaching.

Property

• Located 50 km SE of Alamos Gold’s 3 million Mulatos mine (Sierra Madre Occidental mountain range in the east-central portion of the State of Sonora, Mexico)
• Project area covers 7,700 hectares
• Accessible via paved highway within 15km
• Corex has right to acquire 100%

Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical survey has defined a 700 by 350 metre chargeability and resistivity anomaly coincident with the East Zone Breccia target at its Pucamayo epithermal gold-silver project in Peru. About another project of Condor Res. read here http://explorationgeophysics.info/?s=condor .  In addition, further sampling, prospecting and mapping has confirmed significant mineralization at both the West Zone gold-silver bonanza vein system and the East Zone high sulphidation breccia target.

The Pucamayo project has never been drilled.

Geophysical Survey. A total of 15.3 line kilometres of IP was completed over both the East and West Zones, along with 46.1 line kilometers of magnetics and Gamma Ray Spectrometry. The geophysical survey over the East Zone breccia target outlined a broad NNE trending and vertically continuous chargeability anomaly measuring approximately 700m long by 350m wide, with a coincident moderate resistivity anomaly within the breccia exposures. This large anomaly is coincident with the favourable geology, alteration and precious metal values as determined by field mapping and sampling, and confirms the depth potential of this large epithermal precious metals target. The geophysical results will be used to prioritize trenching and drilling plans for the breccia

In addition, at the West Zone vein targets, the geophysical survey outlined resistivity and chargeability anomalies coincident with the main NNW-striking vein and provide priority trenching and drill targets for follow-up.

Future Work. The recent exploration at Pucamayo continues to confirm the presence of highly anomalous precious metals values and the geophysical survey has outlined several strong targets coincident with this favourable geology. The geophysical results from the East Zone have outlined a high priority target consisting of a broad NNE trending, vertically continuous, chargeability and resistivity anomaly measuring 700m long by 350m wide and covering the area of the mineralized breccias.

The Pucamayo property is located 180 km SE of Lima at an elevation of 3800 to 4200 m and within the same precious metals belt as the multi-million ounce Yanacocha, Alto Chicama, and Peirina Au-Ag deposits. The 36 sq km property covers two epithermal precious metals targets: the West Zone, a low and intermediate sulphidation, ‘bonanza-potential’ multi-phase veins system within an area covering approximately 4 sq km, and about 5 kms away, the East Zone, an intermediate and high sulphidation, potential disseminated bulk tonnage system over an area measuring 1.2 km long by 200m to 700m wide.
