Euromax Announces New Mineral Resource Estimate for Ilovitza Project

05/08/2013 12:00pm

Marketwired Canada


Euromax Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:EOX)(OTCQX:EOXFF) ("Euromax" or the
"Company") is pleased to announce a new mineral resource estimate for its 100%
controlled flagship Ilovitza copper-gold project in Macedonia. 


Following completion of infill drilling aimed at increasing resource confidence
levels at the Ilovitza copper-gold porphyry project in Macedonia (see the
Company's press releases dated 21 March 2013 and 24 May 2013), independent
consultants Tetra Tech, have re-estimated the mineral resource on behalf of the
Company and categorised all resources using the Canadian Institute of Mining,
Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") classification. A constraining pit shell and a
dollar equivalent cut-off have been applied to the 3D block model to ensure
reasonable prospects of economic extraction for the reported resources. A
technical report detailing the resource, compliant with NI 43-101, will be filed
on SEDAR within 45 days. 


The new resource estimate for fresh (unoxidised sulphide) and mixed (partially
oxidised sulphide) can be summarised as follows:

Commenting on the results, Pat Forward, Chief Operating Officer of the Company
said, "We are delighted that we have achieved the main aims of our 2012-2013
drilling campaign in increasing the Measured and Indicated Resources in the
fresh and mixed zones at Ilovitza from 22Mt to 184Mt at improved grades compared
to the previous resource estimate announced last year. The new resource estimate
is well constrained in terms of the geology and the grade and is also
constrained to material that is potentially accessible by open pit mining. We
note that the higher-grade zones defined at higher cut-offs are spatially
coherent and scheduling opportunities arising from this will be examined in the
current Pre-Feasibility Study."


Ilovitza Pre-Feasibility Study 

The Company is continuing to carry out a programme of work which will enable
Tetra Tech to complete a Pre-Feasibility Study in Q3 this year. The programme
comprises:




--  Geotechnical drilling to investigate pit slope stability and
    infrastructure optimisation; 
--  Work to optimise the mine plan which would include the in-fill drilling
    results and completion of the mineral resource estimate update, with the
    aim of defining mineral reserves and the accessing of high-grade areas
    earlier in the life of mine plan; 
--  Metallurgical test work will continue at SGS, in particular, lock cycle
    flotation test work and grind-size optimisation; 
--  Hydrogeological work and a geotechnical programme that will provide
    information to further optimise the project through the Pre-Feasibility
    Study especially with regard to infrastructure development; 
--  Development of mine layout and engineering components; 
--  Refinement of all operating and capital cost estimates through the
    commencement of detailed studies on infrastructure, access roads and the
    tailings management facility; and 
--  Optimisation of concentrate grade following the results of the
    metallurgical test work and further assessment of payability, including
    the potential for silver and molybdenum credits, insurance and transport
    costs. 



Grade Tonnage Sensitivity 

The resource is also reported at several cut-offs on a dollar equivalent basis:

Notes to all above tables:



1.  Dollar equivalent cut-offs based upon the following calculation Dollar
    Eq = (Au (i) recovery (i) price) + (Cu (i) recovery (i) price), using
    the following inputs: 
    --  Au Recovery in oxide 70%,  
    --  Cu Recovery in oxide 0%  
    --  Cu Recovery in mixed & fresh 90%  
    --  Au Recovery in mixed & fresh 83%  
    --  Spot metal prices effective 17 June 2013 (Au = US$1,385/oz, Cu =
        US$3.18/lb) 
2.  Oxide resource cut-off reduced to US$8 for assumed lower operating
    costs. 
3.  In-situ density of 2.15t/m(3) oxide 2.45 t/m(3) fresh. 
4.  Numbers may not add exactly due to rounding 
5.  Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated
    economic viability. The estimate of mineral resources may be materially
    affected by environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-
    political, marketing, or other relevant issues. The mineral resources in
    this news release were estimated using current Canadian Institute of
    Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum (CIM) standards, definitions and
    guidelines. 



Sampling, Analyses and Quality Assurance and Quality Control ("QAQC") 

Drill hole orientations were surveyed at approximately 50-metre intervals.
Samples were collected by the Company's geologists in compliance with the
Company's standard procedures and in accordance with accepted industry best
practice. Samples were collected as half HQ or NQ diamond drill core through the
mineralised intervals as three-metre lengths and occasionally to a maximum of
4.5 metres to reflect geological boundaries. At the Euromax Strumica sample
preparation lab, the half core sample is reduced to -2 millimetre and two, 200
gram samples are split from the whole. One 200 gram sample is submitted to the
Eurotest Control EAD Laboratory (ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 17025 accredited) in
Sofia, Bulgaria, for sample preparation, comprising pulverisation to 95% -75
microns, and analysis. Gold analyses were carried out using the fire assay
technique with an AAS finish on 30 gram aliquots. Copper was analysed using AES
ICP methods. In addition to the laboratory's internal QAQC procedures, the
Company conducted its own QAQC with the systematic inclusion of field duplicate
samples, blank samples and certified reference samples. The analytical results
from the Company's quality control samples have been evaluated and demonstrated
to be within acceptable industry standard variances.


Resource Estimation Assumptions and Methods 

Key Assumptions used to estimate the minerals resources are:



--  The mineral resources have been estimated into a three dimensional block
    model comprising 25 x 25 x 10 metre blocks; 
--  The estimation was constrained to the mineralised zone using wireframed
    solid models. The wireframe was sub-divided into oxide, mixed and fresh
    domains to allow the independent estimation of the three material types;
--  Grade estimates were based on 3 metre composited assay data; 
--  The interpolation of the metal grades was undertaken using ordinary
    kriging; 
--  The constraining pit shell has been applied to the 3D block model to
    ensure reasonable prospects of economic extraction for the above
    reported resources. This does not represent a formal pit optimisation
    but was carried out to support the resource estimates and demonstrate
    that the deposits have reasonable prospects for economic extraction.
    Assumptions include the following: 
    --  Mining cost $2 (US$/t) 
    --  Mining dilution 5% 
    --  Mining recovery 95% 
    --  Density 2.45 t/m(3) 
    --  Pit slope 50 degrees in fresh granite, 45 degrees everywhere else 
    --  Processing cost $6.34 (US$/t) 
    --  Gold recovery 83% 
    --  Copper recovery 90% 
    --  Gold price $1,537 (US$/oz) 
    --  Copper price $3.36 (US$/lb) 
    --  Gold selling cost $153.7 (US$/oz) (10% of metal price) 
    --  Copper selling cost $0.336 (US$/lb) (10% of metal price); 
--  Spot metal prices effective 17 June 2013 of US$1,385/oz Au and
    US$3.18/lb Cu were adopted for the calculation of dollar equivalent cut-
    offs. 



These estimates have an effective date of 30 July 2013. The last data included
in the estimate was received on the 11 July 2013. The resources have been
estimated by Mr. Robert Davies, Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.), European Geologist
(EurGeol), Chartered Geologist (CGeol), supervised by Mr. Simon McCracken,
Bachelor of Applied Science (BAppsSc), Member of the Australian Institute of
Geoscientists (MAIG), Fellow of the Geological Society (FGS).
