Marketwired
International PBX Ventures Ltd. ("PBX" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE: PBX) is pleased to report further positive drilling
results from ongoing in-fill and resource extension drilling at its
100% owned Copaquire Porphyry Copper Property in northern Chile.
Sulfato South Copper Zone
The 2011 infill drill program continues to show the Sulfato
South area to be a consistently well mineralized copper zone of
significant dimensions and demonstrates the potential for a major
expansion of the copper resources at Copaquire.
Assay result highlights for drill holes CQ-111 and CQ-112 are as
follows:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Drill Hole Total From To Length Length %CuEq
Length (m) (meter) (meter) (meters) (feet) %Cu %Mo (1)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CQ-111 195 131.4 176.0 44.6 146.3 0.53 0.006 0.55
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
CQ-112 290 34.0 85.1 51.1 167.4 0.57 0.036 0.71
-----------------------------------------------------------------
includes: 34.8 56.0 21.2 69.5 0.82 0.050 1.02
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1)Metal equivalent data are based on US$ 2.50/lb copper and US$10/lb Moly.
In calculating copper equivalencies 100% metal recoveries have been assumed.
Drilling continues on CQ-111 and further results will be
announced upon receipt.
"Results of drill holes CQ-111 and CQ-112 enable management to
express more confidence that the geological model as set out by our
senior porphyry geologists is being validated," said George
Sookochoff, President & CEO of PBX.
The new geological model at Copaquire consists of multi-phase
intrusions and copper mineralization structurally controlled by
north-south trending faults. It is along these north-south fissures
that multiple episodes of hydrothermal activity in the form of
intrusive and hydrothermal breccias, accompanied by fracture
filling (veinlets and veins of quartz-pyrite-chalcopyrite and
quartz-pyrite moly) have intruded a porphyritic quartz monzonite
(known as the Copaquire Porphyry) and intruded a near surface
sequence of metasediments where replacement mineralization has
developed as well.

Conceptual modeling of the Sulfato South Zone by PBX geologists
suggests there is potential to add up to 300-500 million tons of
material averaging 0.4 to 0.6% copper(2).
((2) the potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature;
there has been insufficient exploration to define a mineral
resource; it is uncertain if further exploration will result in
discovery of a mineral resource)
A new resource estimate for the Sulfato South copper zone is
scheduled for completion in 4th Quarter 2011 and this will used to
update the company's 2009 Preliminary Economic Assessment with
planned completion in 1st Quarter of 2012.
In light of the consistent positive copper results in the
Sulfato area the Company plans to accelerate the drill program by
adding a third drill to be located at Sulfato North copper zone.
Negotiations are ongoing to secure the third drill.
QA/QC
A full QA/QC program, involving insertion of appropriate blanks,
standards and duplicates is being employed. All drill holes are
mostly sampled on a 2 m continuous basis, with samples split on
site and one half being transported by ALS Laboratories to the ALS
Laboratories in Antofagasta, Chile for preparation. The samples are
then transferred to ALS Laboratories in La Serena for analysis. A
second half will be stored at a PBX facility for reference.
The 2011 Copaquire diamond drill program is being supervised by
Mr. Victor Jaramillo, M.Sc.A., P.Geo. (PBX Project Manager) and who
is the qualified person under National Instrument 43-101. Mr.
Victor Jaramillo has reviewed and approved the scientific and
technical information contained in this release.
