Geological Work Commences on Coneto Silver-Gold Project

 

VANCOUVER, BC - Orex Minerals Inc. reported that geological field crews have commenced working on the Coneto silver-gold mining camp in Durango State, Mexico.

Located in the Mesa Central on the eastern flank of the Sierra Madre Occidental Mountains, Coneto is centrally positioned in the "Mexican Silver Trend". This silver trend, stretching from Guanajuato in the southeast, through the states of Zacatecas and Durango, hosts some of the World's largest silver deposits, including the Fresnillo, Zacatecas, Real de Angeles, La Preciosa, and La Pitarrilla mining camps.

Gary Cope, President of Orex, says; "We are pleased that an exploration campaign has begun on Coneto. All indications point to the presence of a very large system similar in nature to La Preciosa and La Pitarrilla. Our exploration team is now prioritizing drilling targets, while mapping the large mineral concessions."

Over 30 epithermal silver-gold vein structures have been identified at Coneto. The initial Orex program will consist of detailed structural geology mapping and geochemical sampling in the areas around Calaveras, Colemanito, Promontorio, Loma Verde, Durazno and Impulsora. This program is designed to guide a diamond drilling program scheduled for this year.
