[{"type":"text","content":"Southern Empire Summarizes Its 2022 México Gold Exploration Programs and Proposes That the “Mapimí Gold Corridor” May Be a New Carlin-Style Gold BeltVANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 14, 2023 / Southern Empire Resources Corp. (Southern Empire; TSX-V:SMP; Frankfurt:5RE; OTC:SMPEF) announces that detailed Synchrotron radiation micro-X-Ray Fluorescence (Synchrotron Micro-XRF or SRµ-XRF) mineralogical studies of gold-enriched drill core samples from its Pedro Gold Project in Durango, México, reveal certain, specific mineralogical similarities to the unique ore mineralization of the world-class Carlin gold deposits in north-central Nevada. Although preliminary in nature, this mineralogical work together with many other noted geological similarities supports the possibility that a new belt of Carlin-style gold deposits, named the \"Mapimi Gold Corridor\" by Southern Empire, may exist in north-central México.\"The idea that there could be a metallogenic trend of bulk-minable, sediment-hosted gold deposits in north-central México makes for a very compelling exploration strategy,\" explained Dale Wallster, Southern Empire's CEO adding, \"Now, with the Synchrotron Micro-XRF analyses of Pedro drill core specimens, we have strong mineralogical evidence that further supports the classification of the Pedro gold mineralization as \"Carlin-style\", an important concept that will be applied to our exploration modelling.\"Also herein, Southern Empire provides a summary of its 2022 north-central México exploration strategies, property acquisitions, and an update regarding option agreement amendments with Commander Resources Ltd. (Commander).Pedro Gold Project: Drill Core Synchrotron Micro-XRF Mineralogical StudyDetailed mineralogical studies were conducted at the U.S.A. Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory Advanced Photon Source (APS) in Chicago, one of the most technologically complex research facilities in the world, by Dr. Lisa Van Loon of LISA CAN Analytical Solutions Inc. (LISA CAN) in collaboration with Dr. Neil Banerjee of Western University. There, synchrotron facilities that generate ultra-bright, high-energy X-rays were used to map microscopic pyrite grains in core samples collected from Southern Empire's Pedro Gold Project drill hole (DDH) P22-02; see Photo 1 showing DD...
