Cantex Mine Development Corp. announced details of the upcoming work program on its 100% owned 14,077 hectare North Rackla claim block. Ground magnetic, electromagnetic, resistivity and gravity surveys are planned over 1 km square covering 2.3 kilometers of the strike length of the massive sulphide zone. These surveys will be focused on determining the exact location of the massive sulphide mineralization beneath a region covered in glacial till between the discovery and extension zones. The results will be used to fine tune the proposed drill program as well as test areas at the extremities of the mineralized zone. In addition, ground geophysics is proposed over a surrounding 6 km square area in which the company's soil-talus sampling has identified anomalous silver-lead-zinc values. The company will be utilizing three diamond drills on the project this year. One core drill is currently on site, a second drill is currently being refurbished and a third new drill has been ordered and is nearing completion. These drill rigs will be tasked with completing a 75 hole, 17,000 meter drill program on the massive sulphide zone and a three hole 1,000 meter program at the northern gold area. Within the North Rackla claim block there are numerous discrete areas where the company's previous widely spaced soil-talus sample lines have detected anomalous metal values. Infill sample lines are proposed in the areas, with an additional 7,500 soil-talus samples planned. This work should constrain the bedrock sources of these anomalies. CF Minerals has undertaken scanning electron microscope and electron microprobe studies of the mineralization intersected at the extension zone last year and reports that the massive sulphides consist of fine to coarse grained sphalerite intergrown with galena and microcrystalline to coarsely crystalline light brown to grey siderite. The sphalerite is essentially pure zinc sulphide with up to 1% iron but without other elements such as cadmium. The galena locally contains +/- 5 micron elongated blebs of silver bearing tetrahedrite-tennanite series minerals containing silver, copper, zinc and antimony. The siderite analyzed was iron rich, typically 38.7% iron oxide, 13.4% manganese oxide and 7.2% magnesium oxide together with stochiometric lead and zinc sulphides and some silica. Small amounts of pyrite are occasionally present. Fine veinlets and vugs of siderite locally intergrown with galena and sphalerite are common. Vein quartz has not been observed but quartz occurs randomly in trace to small amounts as globules within the carbonates and adjacent to the sulphides. The mineralogy and chemistry of the ore supports a Sedex origin of the mineralization, similar to the Broken Hill Deposit. Eleven sections of mineralized core have had their densities measured. Their specific gravities range from 2.93 to 4.69 g/cm3 with an average of 3.83 g/cm3.
