[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n19.03 g/t Au across 11.3m and 6.63 g/t Au across 28.1m\n\n\nTORONTO, June 17 /CNW Telbec/ - Roxmark Mines Limited (TSXV-RMK) today\nannounced that ongoing drilling by Premier Gold Mines Limited (TSX-PG) as\noperator continues to define significant gold mineralization in multiple zones\nat the Company's Hardrock Joint Venture Project in the Geraldton camp,\nNorthwestern Ontario. The current program, consisting of delineation and\nexploration drilling, will continue throughout 2009 and is expected to result\nin an NI 43-101-compliant resource estimate by year end.\n\n\nDrilling at the EP Zone continues to exceed expectations with recent\nstep-out and infill holes returning some of the best results received to date.\nThe first three holes drilled to test the South Porphyry Zone ("SP") have all\nreturned high-grade gold mineralization within multiple zones.\n\n\nHighlights from recent drilling include:\n\n\n- EP Zone: 5.21 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) across 37.0 metres within\n the North Limb - 19.03 g/t Au across 11.3 metres in step-out\n drilling on the South Limb\n- SP Zone: 6.63 g/t Au across 28.1 metres within the SP Zone underground\n target\n 36.22 g/t Au (1.06 oz/ton) across 2.2 metres within the HGV\n Zone target.\n\n\nRoxmark has a 30% carried interest in the Hardrock Project. The Hardrock\nProject is host to several past-producing mines which collectively produced\nnearly 3.0 million ounces of gold within 600 metres of surface from 1938-1968.\nEarly drilling in 2009 focussed on open pit-style mineralization and is now\ntargeting the huge potential to expand higher grade mineralization amenable to\nefficient underground mining methods. Historically at Hardrock, little effort\nwas made to define narrow vein, high grade mineralization as bulk mining\nmethods were used to extract the ore.\n\n\nEP-Zone\n\n\n-------\n\n\nThe EP-Zone has been identified as a potential high-grade open pit target\nin the vicinity of the historic North Zone, from which 2.97 million short tons\nof ore were mined at a recovered grade of 0.22 ounces per ton gold (7.54 g/t\nAu). Drilling has intersected mineralization in multiple sub-zones within the\nEP target over a strike length of 600 metres.\n\n\nPrevious highlights include 7.60 g/t Au across 20.5 m in hole EP044, 2.37\ng/t Au across 62.7 m in hole EP026, and 4.17 g/t Au across...
