| November 17, 2009 Letitna Continues to Grow With Latest Assays | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Hole M09-47 is the northernmost hole reported at Letitna to date. Tirex drill hole MR09-49, located 35m north of M09-47, also intersected mineralization and assays are pending for that intersection. The zone is open for expansion and drilling continues. Currently, Tirex is drilling a step out hole located 150m north of and along strike of the most northerly hole drilled to date. Summary of assay results from drill hole M09-47:
This drill hole MR09-47 intersection is located 35m west of the intersection in drill hole MR09-41 where Tirex also intersected significant mineralization (see Tirex News Release dated August 31, 2009). Bryan Slusarchuk, CEO states, "Tirex continues to intersect a thick zone of strong mineralization at Letitna. Based on the excellent continuity exhibited to date, Tirex has just started to drill a large step out hole, 150m away from the most northerly hole drilled to date at Letitna. The target at Letitna is significant tonnage. While conducting this definition and expansion drilling at Letitna, Tirex is also conducting pure exploration, for new discoveries with the second drill that is now turning in the district." Three other drill holes completed on the southern extension of the Letitna Zone intersected wide zones of alteration with low assay values. A geological model is being constructed for all the Letitna results to date to guide additional and ongoing drilling. Tirex is a company purpose-built to explore and develop the large 553 square kilometer Mirdita Property in Albania. The nature of the VMS mineralization in this District provides Tirex investors with exposure to a high grade basket of metals: Copper, Zinc, Gold and Silver. The property is readily accessible by paved and gravel roads and is located 70 km north of the capital city of Tirana. The property covers the core of the historically productive Mirdita VMS base metal district. It represents an opportunity to explore Copper, Zinc, Gold and Silver zones that were previously partially mined, explored or evaluated at lower metal prices, and provides an opportunity to apply modern exploration techniques toward the discovery of new VMS deposits and extensions of known zones. In addition to the 17 historical deposits identified by previous state-run exploration, Tirex has identified numerous high priority exploration targets resulting from the 2007 airborne geophysical survey, ongoing ground geophysics, geological mapping and other field work. The Mirdita exploration project is managed by an experienced team of Canadian geologists and other professionals, and several senior Albanian geologists, geophysicists and surveyors. John Nicholson, P.Geo., a Qualified Person under the meaning of Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and Mirdita Project Manager, is responsible for the technical content of this news release. Drill core was HQ size (6.35cm diameter) and BTW size (4.20 cm diameter). Half core samples were collected with a rock saw, tagged for identification and securely stored at the Tirex base camp until shipment. A total of 5% assay standards and 5% blanks were inserted into the sample shipment as a quality control measure in addition to the internal quality control measures applied by the laboratory. All samples were shipped directly to ALS Chemex Labs in North Vancouver, Canada where they were dried, weighed, crushed and pulverized. Splits of each pulp were then analysed for 51 elements by ICP Spectrometry and assayed for copper, lead, zinc, silver and gold by standard assay methods. Further details on the company and the Mirdita Project can be found on the Tirex website at www.TirexResources.com. "Bryan J.R.
