Boxxer announces update on corporate activities

CALGARY, Dec. 2, 2013 /CNW/ - Boxxer Gold Corp. (TSXV: BXX) (OTC Other: BXXRF) ("Boxxer or the Company") is pleased to provide an update of corporate activities including additional land acquisition and management changes.

Boxxer Acquires Additional Mineral Claims near DOK Property
Boxxer has acquired one mineral tenure adjacent to its existing claim group totalling 330.16 hectares from two private landowners.  Consideration paid by Boxxer was $6,000 cash (split $1,500 on signing and $4,500 due on November 6, 2014) and a 1% net smelter return (NSR) royalty on the mineral claims subject to a "Partial NSR Buyout Option".  The Partial NSR Buyout Option allows Boxxer at any time to purchase half of the NSR for a cash payment of $0.5 million such that the NSR is reduced from 1% to 0.5%.

Rationale for the Mineral Tenure Acquisitions:
The mineral claim covers a portion of a large gossan located southeast of the DOK property. Two mineral showings are reported to occur (British Columbia Min file 104G 129) within this mineral tenure.  The north showing is reported to contain copper staining in outcrop with no assays reported.  The south showing is reported to consist of veinlets in green sandstone and dark grey siltstone of the Upper Triassic Stuhini Group at the head of Strata Creek. Approximately twenty discontinuous north-northeast striking, steeply-dipping veinlets from one to four centimetres in width occur across about five metres in outcrop. The veinlets are reported to contain blebby chalcopyrite, pyrite, and galena in a gangue of quartz and/or carbonate. Centimetre- scale rusty alteration selvages are present but alteration mineralogy was not noted. Two grab samples were taken from the veinlets, the best assay being 136,390 parts per billion gold (136.39g/t gold), 19.0 parts per million silver, and 0.29 per cent copper.

The DOK Property:
The DOK property, situated in NW BC, is a drill-ready stage project consisting of 10,674 hectares (26,365 acres)  The combination of Titan-24 results, airborne magnetic data, geology, alteration and copper-molybdenum-gold-silver mineralization exposed in potassic altered volcanics and intrusive rocks bedrock has identified two large porphyry style targets.

Highlights of the historical exploration results (see news release dated May 26, 2011) for the DOK property are:

a)			81 areas of copper mineralization have been located on the property; the majority of these occur within the two large polymetallic copper-molybdenum-gold-silver in soil geochemical anomalies,
b)			The copper-gold-molybdenum-silver in soil geochemical anomalies occur over a five kilometre strike length.  The Northwest zone measures 2,000 metres long by up to 1,400 metres wide.  The Southeast zone measures 1,500 metres long and up to 900 metres wide.  Both anomalies are open along strike,
c)			Copper concentrations within both soil geochemical anomalies range from 200 to 9,820 parts per million ("ppm") as well as 0.03g/t to 2.2 g/t gold; 14 to 135ppm molybdenum; and 0.6g/t to 84.5g/t silver, and
d)			Chip samples of mineralized bedrock within the Northwest zone returned 0.66% copper over 38 metres, 0.73% copper over 16 metres, and 0.32% copper over 25 metres.

The highlights of the Titan-24 surveys (see news release dated October 1, 2012) are:

a)			The strong chargeability anomaly associated with the Northwest zone has a minimum strike length of 800m strike length and a width of up to 1200m that coincides with mineralized, potassic altered intrusive rock and Stuhini volcanic rocks from which historical continuous chip sampling of outcrop includes 0.66% copper over 38m,. The chargeability anomaly is open along strike in both directions, and
b)			The strong chargeability/conductivity anomaly associated with the Southeast zone has a minimum 600m strike length and a width of up to 900m. The chargeability anomaly is open along strike in both directions and shows a strong correlation with potassic altered intrusive rock and Stuhini volcanic rocks.  Historical sample results include 5.16 g/t gold (grab sample), 6.7% copper, 65.4 g/t silver and 0.2 g/t gold over a 3 m chip sample and 12.5% copper over a 0.5 m long chip sample occur with the chargeability anomaly within the copper-gold-molybdenum-silver soil anomaly.
