KELOWNA, BC, Aug. 13 /CNW/ -- KELOWNA, BC, Aug. 13 /CNW/ - Cantex
Mine Development Corp. (CD : TSXV) ("Cantex" or the "Company") is
pleased to update progress on three of its exploration projects. Al
Hariqah Gold Project, Yemen Core drilling results have recently
been received from 15 holes at the Al Hariqah gold project. The
upper portions of the holes are drilled using percussion techniques
and the holes are then extended with core drilling. The results
recently received are from the core drilling extensions.
Significant results from the 15 core holes, along with any
significant mineralization found in upper portions of the holes
drilled with percussion are contained in the following table:

Core drilling has extended the zones of anomalous mineralization in
several of the holes. Four zones of anomalous mineralization were
found in hole RDH 09 including 9.15 meters of 1.23 g/t of gold from
110.64 meters. Hole RDH 15 was drilled from surface using core and
intersected three zones of anomalous gold mineralization including
25.35 meters of 1.39 g/t from 44.75 meters. Percussion drilling of
hole RDH 23 intersected substantial mineralized sections to a depth
of 84 meters including 73.5 meters of 2.09 g/t gold from 9 meters
depth. Core drilling intersected additional gold mineralization at
depth with four anomalous sections totaling 37.92 meters which
individually averaged between 1.05 and 1.12 g/t. Significantly, the
hole was still in gold mineralization greater than 1 g/t at the
bottom of the hole (150.88 meters). Hole RDH 39 was similar to hole
RDH 23 in that core drilling extended significant gold
mineralization found at shallower depths by percussion drilling.
Core drilling intersected 28.3 meters of 1.61 g/t gold from 105
meters to the end of hole at 133.3 meters. Recent drilling has
intersected visible gold in two holes: RDH 26 at 70.52m and RDH 34
at 132.01 and 134.25 meters. Cantex geological staff are encouraged
by the gold mineralization being open at depth as evidenced by
holes RDH 23 and RDH 39. Drilling continues at the Al Hariqah gold
project; of the 162 holes 117 are now complete and 45 remain to be
deepened by core drilling. A container of percussion and core
samples is expected to arrive at the ALS Chemex laboratory in
Vancouver in four weeks at which time they will be assayed. Once
this drill program is complete a prefeasibility study will be
undertaken. Work has been suspended on the Al Hariqah project for
the holiday month of Ramadan and will resume in mid September.
Suwar Nickel, Copper, Cobalt Project, Yemen At Suwar work is also
being suspended for the holiday month of Ramadan. The helicopter
borne electromagnetic survey is planned to re-commence in mid
September. Nevada Gold Projects In Nevada the Company's contracted
drill company, O'Keefe Drilling, was unable to supply a drill
within the time frame originally promised. As a result Cantex has
now contracted DeLong Construction and Drilling Inc to drill the
Leonard Creek project. The Leonard Creek project consists of 127
claims covering 1,062 hectares where historically extensive placer
gold mining has occurred. Twelve holes are planned to test
resistivity highs and structurally controlled conductive zones as
detected by a CSAMT geophysical survey, outcropping sulphur
mineralization, siliceous sinter and alteration. Leonard Creek is
one of the few places in Nevada where the hard rock source of
significant placer gold has yet to be found. In addition to gold,
anomalous arsenic, antimony and lead were recovered in heavy
mineral samples suggesting a local source to the gold. The
geophysical and geological targets to be tested by the drilling
could be this hard rock source. Drilling is expected to commence
within one week. Cantex is pleased with the continued intersection
of anomalous gold mineralization at Al Hariqah, including two holes
that demonstrate the mineralization is open to depth. The presence
of visible gold in two recent holes is also encouraging. Once 45
holes are extended and the analysis is done Cantex will be in the
position to complete a prefeasibility study on the Al Hariqah
project. The Company also looks forward to drilling commencing
within one week on the first of 13 gold targets contained on its
wholly owned Nevada projects. This press release has been prepared
