HALIFAX,
April 18, 2013 /CNW/ - Oceanus
Resources Corporation (TSXV: OCN) ("Oceanus" or the "Company") is
pleased to announce that it has contracted MPX Geophysics Ltd. of
Markham Ontario, to conduct a
helicopter-borne geophysical survey on its recently acquired
La Lajita property covering over
3,200 hectares in Durango, Mexico.
The La Lajita property is located
in the Sierra Madre Occidental known for its numerous gold-silver
mines.
The airborne survey is scheduled to commence
later this month. The flight pattern takes into account the
geological trend and the major structures interpreted from
geological mapping and satellite imagery. A total of 521 kilometers
will be flown covering an area of 32 square kilometers.
The high sensitivity aeromagnetic survey is
designed to detect any major structure or underlying intrusion
known to be associated with the gold mineralization in the
district. The radiometrics will identify with more accuracy the
zones of alteration. Argillic and silica alteration zones will be
the object of a ground follow up, supported by mapping, prospecting
and geochemical sampling.
Oceanus 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. Oceanus will study the
correlation between the identified structures to the known gold
occurrences and alteration zones on the property.
David R. Duncan,
P. Geo., a director of the Company, is the Qualified Person for
Oceanus as defined under National Instrument 43-101. Mr.
Duncan has reviewed the scientific and technical information in
