Dorex Minerals Inc.: Aggressive Exploration and Development

OverviewDorex Minerals Inc. is a base and precious metals exploration and development company listed on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol “DOX” and the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under the coding “A9L”. The Company’s objective is to aggressively explore and develop its 2,400 hectare (24 sq km) Carmelita Property, located within the Coastal Belt of the Andean Cordillera of Chile. The property is located within excellent infrastructure in a geological environment that is somewhat similar to that of the prolific producing regions to the north like the Candelaria Mine, owned by Phelps Dodge & Sumitomo Corporation and Anglo American’s Manto Verde Mine. Chief PropertiesCarmelita Property – Chile
The property is underlain by lower Cretaceous volcanic and volcaniclastic rocks in contact with mid-Cretaceous granodiorites of the Coastal Batholith. Copper +/- gold mineralization is hosted in numerous shear zones within the Atacama Fault Zone. Dorex Minerals Inc. has entered into an Option Agreement with Inversiones Minera Coyote Ltda., to acquire a 100% interest in the Carmelita claims by issuing 500,000 common shares and paying $440,000 over a period of two years. The property is also subject to a 2% NSR reserved to the underlying Option or, 1% of which can be bought out at anytime for up to five years for $1,000,000. Podpolom Property – Slovakia
The Southwest Zone covers potential extension of well defined soil anomaly. This soil anomaly is located about one kilometer southwest of the Podpolom quarry and is coincident with both Induced Polarization and magnetic anomalies and has dimensions of 350 by 150 meters. Rock-chip float stone sampling was carried out over the center of the anomaly and four of the six samples returned anomalous gold (over 400 ppb gold). Two of the four float values of 15.2 and 26.6 g/t gold. Only one drill hole was drilled in December 1997 to test the anomaly and averaged 0.50 g/t over its entire length (Marlow et al, 1998). No work was done to follow up this initial work on this anomaly. The Podpolom property is underlain by a strongly ferruginous oxidized breccia that has formed in the core of a competent massive, barren silica. Previous exploration indicates that the highest gold grades are associated with breccias that have more ferruginous matrix as opposed to grades encountered in more silica or argillic altered samples.
