Panex Acquires 55% Interest in Giro Goldfields and Announces New CEO
Panex Acquires 55% Interest in Giro Goldfields and Announces New CEO
Zug, Switzerland-December 09, 2013 – Panex Resources Inc. (the "Company," or "Panex") (OTCQB: DBGF), is pleased to announce that it has acquired 85% of Amani Consulting SPRL currently in Joint Venture with state entity La Société Minière de Kilo Moto (Sokimo). The company now owns an ultimate 55% interest in Giro Goldfields SPRL (Giro). Amani has a 65% interest and Sokimo has a 35% free carried interest in Giro which is comprised of two exploitation permits, PE’s 5046 and 5049, covering a surface area of 610sqkm. The permits lie within 20 - 30km west of Randgold/Ashanti’s 20Moz Kibali gold deposits.
The Board of Directors is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr Mark Gasson as Chief Executive Officer and President of Panex. Mr Gasson replaces Mr Eckhof who will retain his position as non-executive Director.
The Board is delighted to have Mr Gasson join the Board as he brings vast experience and management skills which will have a significant impact in the exploration and development of Panex’s highly prospective mineral projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Mr Gasson is a geologist with more than 25 years of experience developing mineral deposits throughout the globe including Africa. He has held senior positions with a number of Australian and international mining companies operating in Africa. His most recent position was Managing Director of Erongo Energy Limited (ASX:ARN) and he was previously the Exploration Manager-East Africa for Gallery Gold Limited and the Executive Director of Exploration for Tiger Resources Limited.
The Board wishes to thank Mr Eckhof for his dedication to the Company as CEO.
Further details on the Giro Project: located within twenty-thirty kilometers to the west of Randgold Resources’ multi-million ounce Kibali Gold deposits. Randgold and partners Ashanti commenced first production in September 2013 and are expecting to produce 550,000oz of gold in 2014. Both projects occur within the Kilo-Moto Belt, one of the world’s principal greenstone belts which hosts Anglogold Ashanti’s deposits to the east, Loncore and Kilogold deposits to the south and 50Moz of gold discovered in Tanzania since 1994.
The Giro Project area is underlain by highly prospective volcano-sedimentary lithologies in a similar structural and lithological setting as the Kibali gold deposits. Both primary and alluvial gold was mined from two main areas, the Giro and Tora areas, during Belgian rule and today these areas are mined extensively by artisanal miners.
At Giro, a wide quartz vein with an average grade of 16g/t Au was mined within a shear potentially 2km long and 100m wide. Channel samples from the base of artisanal workings within the shear returned significant grades including 3.5m @ 36.6g/t Au and 8m @ 3.6g/t Au confirming the potential for significant grade and widths within the shear.
Two Belgian pits located along a 4km west-east trending structure were mined at Tora. Historic focus was on high grade quartz veins which returned grades of of 0.8m @ 21.6g/t Au, 0.6m @ 37g/t Au and 0.35m @ 485g/t Au from Belgian drilling.
The area has not been explored for over 50 years (since the Belgian colonial era) and has never been subjected to modern exploration.
The Company is targeting broad mineralised shear structures with excellent potential to host multi-million ounce gold resources from surface from at least 5 target areas within the project.
Acquisition Terms:
1. Two months after the successful conclusion of the due diligence (commencement date), Panex will make a payment of US$100,000 to the current shareholders of Amani. Six months after the commencement date Panex will pay a further $300,000 to the current shareholders of Amani.
2. On signing of a Share Purchase Agreement, Panex will issue 55% of the share capital in Panex to current partners of Amani.
3. Should Panex identify 3moz (measured and indicated) gold resources at a cut off grade of 2.5g/t, Panex will pay a further $5,350,000 to the current shareholders in Amani.
4. On successful completion of the due diligence, Panex will fund a 3,000m RC drilling programme to test the mineralised potential on the two main target areas mined previously by the Belgians on the Giro Project.
5. Panex may at its discretion withdraw from this agreement by written notice to Amani at any time without penalty.
