[{"type":"text","content":"PJX Resources' Copper-Gold-Silver Mineralization in Sullivan Mining District and DD Property UpdateTORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / February 27, 2023 / PJX Resources Inc. (\"PJX\") has discovered a locally mineralized diatreme breccia located approximately 500 metres west of the intrusive related gold-silver-copper prospect announced in news release dated Nov. 15, 2022. Part of the breccia margin is flooded with quartz, and locally contains high copper values; three grab samples from the margin of the breccia analyzed 8.79 %, 3.35 %, and 2.01% copper. This new discovery is about 500 metres west of the cluster of intrusive stocks and dykes that are associated with a variety of breccias and the historical Estella mine (zinc-lead-silver vein) in the Sullivan Mining District and the Vulcan Gold Belt in southeastern British Columbia, Canada.Gold, silver, and copper mineralization occur in multi-phased, variably altered, and veined syenitic/alkalic porphyritic intrusions. The intrusive phases locally contain disseminated sulphides (see photo A). For example, grab sample MS22-57 with quartz veining from this phase analyzed 6.9 g/t gold, 447 g/t silver and 1.108% copper (see Fig 1)The diatreme breccia (photo B) locally has magnetite as the matrix (photo C) with quartz flooding occurring along the margin (photo D). Three grab samples from quartz vein flooding in the brecciated gabbro from the margin area contained copper, silver, and anomalous gold, zinc, nickel, and cobalt (see table 1 and photo D).Sample NumberCopper **Silver *Gold *Zinc *Nickel *Cobalt *Iron *Sulfur * %PPMPPBPPMPPMPPM%%DT-22-652.0187.232.6363120.84.681.93DT-22-663.3522.526410055.192.38.381.88DT-22-678.79120.6111.9554155.834.111.674.75 Notes:1000 ppb = 1 ppm = 1 g/t 10,000 ppm = 1% *Analysis by Aqua Regia digestion with a Mass Spectrometry (MS) finish. **Analyses exceeding the analytical limit of MS finish were re-analyzed by Emission Spectrometry (ES) to provide the precise ppm or % value.
