Coles Creek Assays Reveal 11.70 Meters of 175 g/t Silver, 0.194 g/t Gold, 2.114% Zinc, 1.521% Lead

VANCOUVER, Nov. 25, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Callinex Mines (CNX.V) has received assay results from drilling conducted this past summer on its Coles Creek property in northern British Columbia near Houston. The recent assays have further established a known silver-zinc-lead formation containing associated gold values. The 11-hole program was conducted to follow up on the mineral-rich zone of brecciated volcanics discovered in 2009. Using targets sourced through 3D IP geophysics and geochemistry, the drill program was able to intersect the mineralized volcanic horizon, providing a much better understanding of the system, and extending the zone of known silver-zinc-lead mineralization by 300 meters.

The 11.70 meter intersection grading of 175.00 g/t silver, 0.194 g/t gold, 2.114% zinc, and 1.521% lead established in DDH Cole 48, was drilled 94 meters away from COLE 28, which returned 21.25 meters grading 3.368 g/t gold, 15.33 g/t silver and 2.04% zinc. The variation in depth of these two important intersections suggests a steeply dipping mineralized structure, though additional drilling will be needed to ascertain whether the intersections are related.

Assay results from additional diamond drill holes also show silver-zinc-lead values, and traces of gold, indicating that the mineralization is not limited to the implied zone of high grade. The table below outlines the results received to date. Callinex is expecting additional assay results from samples currently being processed by the lab. The table below outlines the results received to date:

Widths in meters represent core widths. True widths are unknown.

Core samples were sawed on site immediately after being logged by the field Geologist. One half of each sample was catalogued, bagged and sent to Acme Laboratories in Smithers, British Columbia, where they were recorded, crushed, split and pulverized. Samples were then shipped to Vancouver, British Columbia, where they were processed by a multi-element assay by Aqua Regia digestion and Ultratrace ICP-MS analysis, and Fire Assay Au by ICP-ES. Samples that were anomalous and above the detection levels of the previous analytical process were then sent for re-assay. The re-assay is warranted for representative well-mineralized samples and uses the Group 7AR Multi-Element Assay, and Lead collection fire assay 30G fusion-Gravity finish procedure. The process of analysis includes a  QA/QC protocol approved by Callinex, including a pulp duplicate to monitor analytical precision and a reagent blank to measure background levels. The remaining half of the core is stored on site.
