(TSX Venture: BXX/OTC: BXXRF) (\"Boxxer\" or the \"Corporation\") is pleased to announce that it has retained Kappes Cassiday &\n Associates (\"KCA\") located in Reno, Nevada to complete \"Phase I\"\n metallurgical testwork on the Empire project located near Mackay, Idaho\n (see news release dated July 4, 2013).\n\n\nBoxxer's President and CEO, Elmer B. Stewart, explained; \"A substantial\n historical estimate has been identified on the Empire project which\n includes several style of mineralization.  Our first objective is to\n determine which of these styles of mineralization yields the highest\n recovery and to determine the optimal method of recovering those\n metals.  The test work that is currently underway should provide this\n information and with positive results would be used as the basis for\n additional more advanced testwork\".\n\n\nThe samples being tested represent two distinct styles of\n mineralization; a copper dominant style of mineralization and a\n copper-gold-silver style of mineralization.  Each style of\n mineralization has to be treated differently to recover the metals. \n The Phase I work consists of seven steps which are listed below:\n\n\n1) Preparation of four size fractions being i) 75mm or less, ii) 1/4 to\n -25mm, iii) 1/16 to -1.7mm, and iv) 250gm pulverized) of the EM13-Met-1\n and EM13-Met-4 samples,\n2) Head grade characterization on a 1kg sub-sample of each sample,\n3) NaCN-leach bottle-roll test on a 1kg pulverized sub-sample of\n EM13-Met4 to determine the percentage gold recovery,\n4) Acid-leach bottle-roll test on a 1kg portion of the -1.7mm sub-sample\n of EM13-Met1 to determine percentage copper recovery,\n5) Acid-leach bottle-roll test on a 10kg portion of the -25mm sub-sample\n of EM13-Met1\n6) The results from the two tests are required to determine if\n additional bottle-roll tests on different crush size or column-leach\n test on the 75mm sample size is required,\n7) KCA will prepare a report on the results of the Phase I test results\n and make recommendation on Phase II metallurgical testwork.\n\n\nThe representative metallurgical testwork samples (weight of samples\n from...
