NSX Silver reports high grade silver drill intercepts at Dios Padre Project

    




 BEDFORD, NS, June 14, 2012 /CNW/ - NSX Silver Inc.   is pleased to report on its recently completed Phase 1 drilling  program at the Dios Padre Silver Project located in Sonora State,  Mexico. The Phase 1 drilling program was expanded to sixteen diamond  drill holes totaling 3,530 meters and assay results have been received  for the first twelve holes. 

 Phase 1 drilling encountered multiple intercepts of silver in a number  of drill holes with the most significant being a 50 meter intercept in hole DP- 12-2012 that assayed 74.2 grams per tonne of silver and 0.685 grams per tonne gold. This mineralized zone is located within 20 meters of surface and could  represent a bulk tonnage target and will be the subject of additional  drilling. 

 Additionally drill hole DP-9-2012 returned a 7.5 meter intercept that assayed 573 grams per tonne silver including a section of 1.5 meters that graded 1,410 grams per tonne silver. 

 The following table includes details for the significant drill  intercepts to date from the Phase 1 program:

 As previously press released (see press release dated April 27, 2012)  the first six holes of the Phase 1 Program targeted a large geophysical  anomaly. The subsequent ten holes then targeted in and beneath the area  of historic mining.  These ten holes encountered mineralized zones that  contained silver mineralization intermixed with a variety of sulfide  minerals. Of these, three holes were drilled into the old mine  workings, and seven holes were focused on new prospective targets below  the historic workings.  Assay results from these deeper holes reported  anomalous silver and gold values throughout much of their length and as  well they encountered thicker zones of higher grade material.  Of  significance is the fact that silver mineralization occurs in both the  rock matrix and within vugs (cavities) and fractures in rhyolite and  rhyolite breccia host rock rather than in discrete veins. This  reinforces expectations of the potential for additional higher grade  mineralized zones below the known historic mine workings and within the  feeder stock that appears to trend to the north-northeast of the Dios  Padre Breccia zone. 

 Assays results for holes DP-13-2012 through DP-16-2012 are pending. 

 NSX Silver has quartered and submitted for re-assaying selected core  sections from the earlier drilling by First Majestic (2006) and Silver  Standard (1996).  Additionally NSX Silver has twinned First Majestic  drill hole FMR-11 with DP-16-2012. 

 All data generated from this initial exploration phase, together with  the relevant historic data, will be analyzed and evaluated with a view  to preparing a comprehensive geological model that will assist in  planning the Phase 2 exploration program which will include additional  drilling.  This program is expected to commence in the fourth quarter  2012. 

 NSX Silver also reports that it has initiated a geochemical sampling  survey over much of the 6,000 hectares of ground that it holds in the  vicinity of the Dios Padre Project.  This is an early stage  reconnaissance survey focusing on specific target areas that exhibit  anomalous geological features that may present as future exploration  targets. 

 Sample Protocol and QA/QC 

 Drill core from all the drill holes is sawn in half, logged, sampled,  catalogued and stored for future reference. One-half of the core is  sent to ALS Chemex in Hermosillo for assay preparation, with ICP 61  analysis of the prepared samples conducted by ALS Chemex in Vancouver,  Canada.
