Silvore Fox Announces Preliminary Results of 435 Line Kilometer Airborne Survey and Grant of Options |
HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA--(Marketwire - Feb. 14, 2011) - Silvore Fox Minerals Corp. (TSX VENTURE:SFX) is pleased to announce that it has recently completed a high-resolution helicopter-borne 435 line kilometer geophysical survey over their 100% owned Coxheath Claims near Sydney, Nova Scotia. The survey, carried out by Aeroquest International, employed the proprietary high-powered, multi-component AeroTEM IV time domain EM system, a high-sensitivity caesium vapour magnetometer, and Aeroquest's Airborne Gamma Ray Spectrometer. The survey products have been delivered and a preliminary review of the results undertaken. The primary target that the AeroTEM system has detected is a one-kilometer long conductor, potentially indicating sulphides situated along a magnetically defined NE-SW lithological contact transected by interpreted NW -SE oriented faulting. This target is undergoing a detailed analysis to interpret the source. In addition, an in-depth analysis of all of the EM data will be carried out to determine whether other more subtle bedrock EM responses can be extracted from the survey. The independent magnetic and gamma ray spectrometer systems have provided a great deal of lithological and structural information that will be analyzed and integrated with ground truth. Once the survey interpretation has been completed, and an exploration plan decided upon, information concerning the target areas and their exploration will be released to the public. The airborne survey planning was supervised by Chris Vaughan, President and Chief Geophysicist of CGI Controlled Geophysics Inc. Mr. Vaughan also performed quality assurance and control for the survey and the delivered products. Mr. Francis (Frank) L. Jagodits, PEng., Consulting Geophysicist has been engaged to review the survey products and undertake a detailed interpretation. Mr. Francis (Frank) L. Jagodits, P.Eng.a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, has approved the technical information contained in this news release. The President of Silvore Fox Minerals Corp., Mr. Harold J. Cabrita, states, "The results from this airborne geophysical survey wrap up a very busy and productive 2010 exploration program for Silvore Fox. We had some good results from our 2,550 metres of drilling in Coxheath, which we announced on January 18, and this data from the airborne survey should help our geological team to refine our targets going forward as we integrate this new information with the truth from the ground from our drilling and trenching programs. The geological team from Beijing Donia has been providing exceptional technical support to Silvore Fox in analyzing this data towards helping us develop our 2011 exploration plan. The Directors and Management of Silvore Fox are committed to growing the company and creating shareholder value. We expect to continue taking positive steps toward that goal in 2011." Silvore Fox Minerals Corp. also announces that it has granted to a director and an employee of the Corporation options to purchase a total of 1,100,000 Common Shares at an exercise price of $0.10 per share, which options will expire on February 13, 2016.
