[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nCALGARY, Jan. 13 /CNW/ - Boxxer Gold Corp (TSXV - "BXX") is very pleased\nto announce that channel sampling on the 4th level of the Boss Mine continues\nto expand the mineralized zone and yielded the following mineralized\nintervals:\n\n\n- 62% copper, 0.57g/t gold, 0.31g/t PGE and 3.43g/t silver over an\n interval of 94.0 metres including\n- 1.20% copper, 2.27g/t gold, 0.51g/t PGE and 10.50g/t silver over a\n 6.20 metre interval\n\n\nThe Boss Mine produced high-grade copper in the late 1800's and is\nlocated within Boxxer's 100% owned Boss project in southern Nevada.\n\n\nMr. Elmer Stewart, President and CEO of Boxxer stated, "The analytical\nresults from the 4th level combined with the results from the 5th and 6th\nlevels of the Boss Mine indicates continuity of the mineralized zone along\nstrike and down dip. These results suggest that the zone of copper-gold\nmineralization exposed in and around the Boss Mine could be substantially\nlarger than originally interpreted."\n\n\nThe Boss Mine:\n\n\nThe Boss Mine consists of six levels. Visible copper mineralization\noccurs in outcrop from below the 3rd level to the top of the hill above the\n6th level, a vertical interval of approximately 70m. Visible copper oxide\nmineralization also extends from the entrance of each of the 3rd, 4th and 5th\nlevel approximately 60m to the north and to the end of each level, a distance\nof approximately 100m. The copper oxide mineralization is hosted in a skarn.\nTable-1 show the minimum dimensions of the mineralized zone and average grade\nof the sampling completed on each level of the Boss Mine in 2008:\n\n\nTable-1: Analytical results Boss Mine sampling\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\n Length Width Copper Gold PGE Silver\nLevel (m) (m) (%) (g/t) (g/t) (g/t)\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\n6th 31 11 1.46 0.57 0.21 10.94\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\n5th 100 24 1.15 1.05 1.09 12.92\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\n4th 94 33 0.59 0.82 0.33 3.02\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\n3rd 125 53 0.99 0.41 0.23 3.04\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\nPGE (equal sign) is t...
