Platinex/Creso JV Samples Historic Pet Vein Pit, West Shining Tree Area
September 22 2011 - 11:29AM
Marketwired
Platinex Inc. (TSX VENTURE: PTX) and Creso Exploration Inc. (TSX
VENTURE: CXT)(OTCQX: CRXEF)(FRANKFURT: C3X) are pleased to release
results from recent channel and grab sampling of the Gold
Corona/Pet Vein Zones on their Gold Corona joint venture property
near Shining Tree, Ontario.
Channel sampling on the Gold Corona/Pet Vein intersection
returned up to 5.4g/t Au over 1.80m and channel samples in the Pet
Vein Pit returned up to 26g/t Au over 1.35m.
The Pet Vein pit samples were collected by pumping out the 4m
deep flooded pit where grab samples returned grades of up to 181g/t
(or 5.3 Ounces/ton) Au. A stockpile of well mineralized Pet Vein
material of approximately 3-5 tons was located adjacent to the Pet
Pit and a 10.5kg character sample taken assayed 26.3g/t Au by
FAA313 Fire Assay, Gravimetric and Metallic Screen Analysis.
Further excavation of the pit to establish the controlling geometry
of the mineralized zone for diamond drill targeting is planned.
James R. Trusler, President and CEO of Platinex Inc. stated,
"The Gold Corona Joint Venture brings together several known high
grade gold veins within a thick corridor of chemical
metasedimentary rocks. The mineralization found within the Gold
Corona and Pet veins provides impetus for pursuing both an expanded
high grade body at depth and a large tonnage low grade deposit at
surface."
Robert J. Casaceli, Creso President and CEO stated, "We are
pleased to see the Gold Corona JV moving forward with favourable
surface sampling results and we look forward to helping develop
this promising property to its full potential."
A summary of the best results is included in the table

Of additional note is the thick low grade tonnage potential to
be investigated based on the average grade of Channel Cut 7 of
0.4g/t Au over 8.23m.
All samples were collected under the direct supervision of Scott
Franko P.Geo who is the qualified person for this release. Assays
were submitted to SGS Labs in Don Mills for fire assay to be
followed by gravimetric assay of samples grading over 10g/t Au.
Screen metallics assays were performed where visible gold was
noted. Samples were submitted with appropriate standards and blanks
as a QAQC measure.
