Boxxer provides update on diamond drilling program at Boss project

About this update from Exgen Resources Inc.

[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nCALGARY, April 9 /CNW/ - Boxxer Gold Corp (TSXV - "BXX") announces today\nPhase II on the Boss project is expected to commence upon receipt of approval\nof the Notice of Intent from the Bureau of Land Management ("BLM"),\nanticipated within the next three weeks. Boxxer also provides an update of\ndrilling consisting of six diamond drill holes ("DDH") on its 100% owned Boss\ncopper-gold project in southwest Nevada from which assays are pending. The\nBoss copper-gold project is located within the historical Goodsprings Mining\ndistrict.\n\n\nHighlights of the Drilling Program are:\n\n- Three DDH on the Boss Mine tested the lateral and horizontal extent\n of the copper-gold mineralization outlined in the underground\n workings by the recently completed channel sampling program, and\n- Three DDH around the Oro Amigo Mine target to test the lateral and\n down dip extent of copper-gold mineralization outlined in 2008.\n\n\nPhase II Drilling Program, Boss Extension\n\n\nUpon approval by the BLM, Boxxer will complete two 300 m deep DDH. The\ndrilling on the Boss Extension is designed to test the mineralization exposed\non surface and around the periphery of an interpreted porphyritic monzonite\nintrusive underlying the Boss Extension a setting similar to that which exists\nin the Robinson Mining District of Nevada.\n\n\nExploration Model:\n\n\nThe Boss Extension is approximately 650 m long by 550 m wide where\nextensive, disseminated and fracture controlled skarn hosted copper-gold\nmineralization (+/- silver-platinum-palladium) is exposed on surface, in\nadits, pits and trenches. The copper-gold mineralization exhibits a strong\nbismuth-cobalt-nickel-lead-zinc geochemical signature. The Boss Extension\noccurs within a 4,000 m long skarn (interpreted to be the marble front)\nrelated to porphyritic monzonite dikes exposed in outcrop and in underground\nworkings and an oval shaped 500 m long by 400 m wide positive magnetic\nsignature located under the Boss Extension. Similar to other skarn related\nporphyry districts in the Southwest United States, the Goodsprings District\nexhibits a well defined mineral zonation. Historical production from the\nGoodsprings Mining District is reported to be 270 million pounds of lead and\nzinc and 65,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of one ounce per ton.\n\n\nB...
