[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nDec. 9, 2009 (Canada NewsWire Group) -- TORONTO, Dec. 9 /CNW Telbec/ -- Roxmark Mines Limited (TSXV-RMK) today announced that drilling continues to expand mineralization within the NN (Open Pit target) Zone at the Hardrock Project in Northwestern Ontario. Additional drilling has intersected multiple zones of high grade, underground-style, mineralization in the first hole that tested the 'F2' and the Northeast Zone target areas. Highlights from recent drilling include the following results:- NN Zone - 4.93 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) across 10.5 metres (m)or 0.14 oz/t across 34.4 feet in hole MM071, including 10.03 g/t Auacross 3.5 m (0.29 oz/t across 11.5 ft).- NN Zone - 5.69 g/t Au across 24.2 m or 0.17 oz/t across 79.4 feetin hole MM072, including 7.05 g/t Au across 18.1 m (0.21 oz/tacross 59.4 ft).- NN Zone - 6.91 g/t Au across 18.7 m or 0.20 oz/t across 61.3 feetin hole MM074, including 11.55 g/t Au across 9.7 m (0.34 oz/tacross 31.8 ft).- NN Zone - 3.38 g/t Au across 20.9 m, or 0.10 oz/t across 68.6 feetin hole MM076, including 12.99 g/t Au across 3.5 m (0.38 oz/tacross 11.5 ft).- F2 Zone - 5.41 g/t Au across 6.0 m or 0.16 oz/t across 19.7 feet inhole MM051, including 18.70 g/t Au across 1.2m ( 0.55 oz/t across3.9 feet).- F2 Zone - 8.30 g/t Au across 2.6m or 0.24 oz/t across 8.5 feet inhole MM051.- Northeast Zone - 121.00 g/t Au across 1.5m or 3.53 oz/ton across4.9 feet in hole MM051.Complete new drill results are contained in Table 1 and Table 2.Due to these outstanding new results, which expand near-surface mineralization along strike to the west, the upcoming NI 43-101 resource calculation will be delayed to incorporate these drill holes. Therefore, the initial compliant resource is now expected to be released in January 2010. As well, these results from F2 and Northeast Zones continue to support Premier's belief that additional mineral resources, amenable to underground mining methods, may be delineated at depth in multiple zones. It is Premier's intention to aggressively pursue this style of drill target during 2010, with the goal of amending the initial mineral resource sometime after the end of the second quarter.\"It is truly remarkable that we are continuing to expand the near-surface mineralized zones westward. This was unexpected and of such significance that we've decided to incorporate the new drill-h...
