Pershimex Resources Corporation
(« Pershimex » or « the Company») (TSX Venture: PRO)
is pleased to provide an update on various ongoing work. The bulk
sampling work has begun on the Pershing-Manitou deposit on the
Courville property, and the company is pleased to announce the
signing of an amended letter of intent concerning the acquisition
of Pershimex’s shares by Abcourt Mines Inc. (“Abcourt”), as
originally announced on June 9, 2022.
Bulk sampling
Concerning the ongoing work on the Courville
property, it should be noted that it began in early September under
the technical assistance of the Groupe Minier Technica of Val-d'Or
and Foresterie DG of Belcourt. Since last week, two Epiroc T-40
drills are in operation at the site.
- The drills have
been accelerating the production drilling and the delimitation of
the external wall of the pit.
- Three test holes
were drilled at the beginning, middle and end of the pit to verify
the presence of the old mine gallery. A single hole intersected the
gallery, and this at a depth of more than 25 meters. The
confirmation of the exact position of the gallery ensures the
safety of the extraction operation that will follow shortly.
Indeed, the first blasts allowing the extraction of the mineralized
zone should begin next week.
- The central line
of the mineralized zone was sampled systematically. Indeed, 17
holes of 12 meters deep, each including 6 samples spaced at 2
meters for a total of 102 samples were collected. The samples are
composed of a mixture of dust and rock fragments with a maximum
dimension of about 2 cm. The samples have a weight ranging from 1
to 3 kg will be analyzed in Australia by ALS Chemex, according to
the method called PhotonAssay for gold. This new method used in
Australian high-grade gold mines is very effective in cases of
coarse gold coupled with high variability in grades caused by a
significant nugget effect, which is the case for the
Pershing-Manitou gold deposit.
Transaction with Mines Abcourt inc.
concerning the acquisition of Pershimex
On June 9, 2022, the Company announced the
signing of a non-binding letter of intent with Abcourt.
Essentially, Abcourt, through a three-tier merger (the
“Transaction”) proposes to acquire all of Pershimex’s issued and
outstanding shares.
Pershimex today announced the signing of an
amended Letter of Intent with Abcourt that amends the one dated
June 9, 2022. The amended Letter of Intent is intended to clarify
the rights and obligations of the parties, including the
abandonment of the exclusivity offered by Pershimex to Abcourt and
the extent of the termination costs, all in accordance with the
evolution of the discussions between Abcourt and Pershimex to
complete the transaction.
Robert Gagnon, president and
CEO, stated: « Pershimex is proud to see its first tonnes
of gold material extracted from its Courville project. In barely
three years, we managed to obtain all the necessary authorizations,
to extract 5,000 tonnes of gold mineralized material. The
professionalism and expertise of our contractors, including Groupe
Minier Technica and Foresterie DG, ensures that we will achieve
success with this project. Recall that the primary objective of all
this work is the confirmation of the real gold contents of the
Pershing-Manitou deposit. It should also be noted that work for the
transaction with Abcourt Mines is ongoing. The signing an Amended
Letter of Intent will make it possible to accelerate the merger
project and incur the expenses related to the transaction without
fear of the consequences of a premature termination of the
transaction.
