"The best
place to find a gold mine is beneath an old mine. Historic
production yielded ~55K ounces at an average grade of 4.6g/t
and ceased in ~1912. Historically this mine only found the
first top belt, the Boston-Richardson belt; they drilled down
40 or 50m, hit sandstone, and figured that's it. In 2005 Orex
drilled down to 200m and at about 50 or 60m hit the next belt
system - Orex has not yet found the depth or breadth of this."
Overview
Orex Exploration Inc. is a Canadian-based
junior resource and exploration company trading under the
symbol OX on the TSX Venture Exchange and O5D on the Frankfurt
Stock Exchange. The Company holds a 100% interest in the
Goldboro Gold Project in Nova Scotia.
Investment
Highlights
-
Mining Friendly Gov't. Stable, mining friendly
region.
-
Gold
Resource To Increase. The current ~800,000oz gold
resource is set to take a large increase in size upon
validation of new resource model. The current 2009 resource
estimate (now at 397,200 gold ounces measured & indicated,
405,926 gold ounces inferred) at Goldboro is based on
developing a highly economical deposit and uses a high-grade
cut-off. Orex's management believed data that will follow
upcoming drilling and bulk sampling should allow this
improved model to define a very large high-grade deposit.
-
Significant Past Producer. Goldboro is a
significant past producer, having produced between 4.6 -
6.6g/t, which is also the same grade (4.56g/t) Orex proved
in recent 2009 resource estimate while in transition to a
new model.
-
Changes In Resource Model. The new model moves
focus to more economic parts of the property and has higher
grade cut-off, employing structural domains of gold that
quantify gold in zones around and between slates and
incorporates the nugget effect native to Goldboro. The last
resource estimate had to attribute 0 values for these
high-grade zones under 43-101 regulations until assay data
confirms what geologists have identified and understand to
be there. New drilling, infill drilling, and bulk sampling
aims to validate the new model and provide a large increase
in gold resource estimate.
-
Experience Management. Exceptional management and
skilled technical leadership
Profile
Orex Exploration Inc. is a Canadian-based
gold mining exploration and development company listed on the
TSX Venture Exchange (ticker symbol OX) (Frankfurt: O5D). The
risk-reward characteristics are highly advantageous for
investors establishing a long position in OX.V as their
high-grade 800,000oz gold deposit at their 100% owned Goldboro
Property in Nova Scotia, Canada is poised to sizably increase
upon validation of their new geological model. It appears OX.V
is highly undervalued relative to the inherent nature of the
Goldboro property and its potential. Equally as important,
Orex has a highly experienced and talented management team
dedicated to maximizing shareholder value.
Orex's Goldboro project located in Guysbourough county Nova
Scotia (on the N.E. tip of the mainland, approximately 185
kilometres northeast of Halifax), consists of 37 contiguous
claims (600 hectares), in which Orex holds a 100% interest.
The property is accessible by a 2.5 kilometre gravel road from
the paved, all-weather Highway 316 which links the village of
Goldboro to the town of Antigonish.
This August Orex released a 43-101 resource report at the 60%
mark of their planned drilling (Orex has completed 12,000m out
of an original 20,000m planned). The report was originally
commissioned and designed to be stepping stone, providing a
snapshot in order to determine how to best proceed. In the
process of analyzing the data Orex decided to take a different
tact, one they believe will be more beneficial for the company
down the road. It was recommended and agreed that Orex changed
focus from a high tonnage resource model to a new model that
focuses on more economic parts of property with a higher grade
cut-off and a new model that employs structural high-grade
domains of gold that quantifies gold in zones around and
between slates.
The current estimated gold resource under the new higher-grade
cut off is ~800,000oz (397,200 gold ounces measured &
indicated, 405,926 gold ounces inferred) -- This resource
number is expected to be dramatically revised upwards as the
latest resource estimate had to attribute 0 values for these
structural high-grade domains of gold between slates under
43-101 regulations until assay data confirms what geologists
have identified and understand to be there. Additionally, new
drilling along an additional 1 km strike length, infill
drilling, and bulk sampling will also contribute to validating
the new model and provide a large increase in the gold
resource estimate.
One of the unique features of the Goldboro property, which has
been problematic in past attempts at defining the resource, is
that Goldboro has a 'nugget effect' - the gold isn’t uniformly
distributed in the slate belts and there is an inordinate
amounts of visible gold, chunks of gold, on the property.
Protocols agreed upon by the geologists recommending the new
model have solved issues necessary in quantifying the gold and
a new mineral resources estimate at the completion of the next
series of drilling and bulk sampling will incorporate the
information.
The current drilling campaign is chopped up into five separate
phases; A, B, C, D, & E - The now completed AB&C drilling
programs were on the eastern part of the property where the
historical ramp is located, that’s where most of the drilling
has occurred to date and east of that ramp area. The D&E
programs are planned to look more on the western part of the
property where a lot of historical drilling hasn’t been done.
The Company is trading
at around the mid-way point of their 52 week range, it is a
quite actively traded stock which seems to have stabilized
after a significant price decline beginning in mid-July.
Technically, most indicators are signalling that the stock is
in oversold ranges, and the MACD is looking like it is going
to be crossing at any moment. A technical breakout may be in
the works for this stock, and given the fundamentals, this
stock is worth watching closely over the next few weeks. As
such, AllPennyStocks.com has chosen Orex Exploration
Inc. (TSX-Venture: OX) as their latest
Canadian Company spotlight and will be periodically updating
their subscribers to this Company's developments.
