[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nMONTREAL, May 29 /CNW Telbec/ - Amex Exploration Inc. (AMX: TSX-V) is\nvery pleased to announce the results received to date on the six-holes\ndrilling program totalling 1638 meters on its Perron gold project in Abitibi\nregion of Quebec. The Perron project consists of 100 claims for a total area\nof 3920 hectares and is located near the village of Normetal.\n\n\nThis drilling campaign which started in March 2008 was a follow-up on\ninteresting gold intersections discovered in previous drilling campaigns but\nwhich remained open after being subjected to a recent re-interpretation study.\nThis phase of drilling focused mainly on Zone 3 that appears to be the most\nregular and continuous of the three mineralized zones encountered in previous\ndrilling campaigns. This zone had returned intersections such as 12.2 g/t Au\nover 4.0 meters (hole (number sign) P-97-04), 8.8 g/t Au over 2.2 meters, (hole (number sign) P-97-02)\nand 8.9 g/t Au over 1.7 meter (hole (number sign) P-97-31), with sometimes spectacular\nhigh grade intersects such as 78.1 g/t Au over 1.7 meter (hole (number sign) P-97-14). The\nZone 3 consists of a silicified and carbonated andesite, containing quartz\nveins and disseminated pyrite, pyrrhotite, sphalerite and chalcopyrite,\nlocated near or close to a regional shear structure that separates this alte\nred andesite, to the south, from a massive rhyolite unit, to the north.\n\n\nDrill results received so far include important intersections such as\n14.8 g/t over 4.1 meters in hole (number sign) PE-2008-03, 5.6 g/t over 3.0 meters in hole\n(number sign) PE-2008-05, as well as 13.3 g/t over 0.5 meter and 9.5 g/t over 1.1 meter in\nhole (number sign) PE-2008-06. These mineralized intersections are interpreted as the\ncontinuity of the Zone 3 at depth.\n\n\nThe table below shows details on mineralized intersections above 1 g/t\ncalculated from drill analyses received so far.\n\n\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\nDrill hole No. From To Length Au Zone\n (m) (m) (m) (g/ton)\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\nPE-2008-1a 8,3 9,3 1,0 1,4 Silicified Rhyolite\n-----------------------------...
