Platinex Inc. (CSE: PTX) (OTCQB: PANXF, Frankfurt: 9PX) (“Platinex” or the “Company”) has announced noteworthy findings from the initial phase of diamond drilling conducted at the Heenan Property. This property is part of the broader Heenan Mallard Gold Project, situated within the Swayze Greenstone Belt of northeastern Ontario. The project is operated through the South Timmins Mining Joint Venture in collaboration with Fancamp Exploration Ltd.
The exploration program comprised four diamond drill holes totalling 611.50 meters, conducted between December 2023 and January 2024.
The drilling confirmed a new gold system was discovered. More importantly, the system appears to be wide, and gold was well disseminated across the gold intersections. The 3 holes of 50 m spacing all intersected the new system.
Key Findings
- Multiple drill holes revealed consistent broad zones of gold mineralization, extending from surface depths to 177 meters, including:
- 77.44 m of 0.40 g/t Au in hole HE23-02 and,
- 27.15 m of 0.55 g/t Au in hole HE-23-03 with higher-grade intercepts within
- An additional zone of mineralization, distinct from the iron formation, was encountered in hole HE23-01, grading 5.53 g/t over 1.00 meters at 177 meters
- An additional zone of mineralization, distinct from the iron formation, was encountered in hole 2, grading 5.53 g/t over 1.00 meters at 177 meters
- Drill hole HE24-04, positioned beneath HE23-01, intercepted anomalous gold throughout the hole, with detailed results pending

Mr. Greg Ferron, President and CEO of Platinex Inc., said,
“We are encouraged with the results of the maiden drill program at Heenan, which was completed successfully and on budget. “The distribution of gold mineralization is widespread and intersected gold in all four holes across a 100-metre strike length, demonstrating the potential of this emerging gold project.”

Strategic Location
The Heenan Mallard Property is strategically positioned along the northwest border of IAMGOLD’s Cote Gold Project, which is set to commence production in March 2024. Additionally, it lies southeast of Evolution Mining’s October gold project. Situated within the Swayze area of the Abitibi Greenstone Belt, the property rests on the fold nose of the Woman River Iron Formation, a target deemed favourable for gold mineralization due to its high magnetic and structural characteristics.
Platinex Inc. follows a quality analysis program for sample analysis at Activation Laboratories Ltd., North Bay, Ontario. This program includes sample cutting, labelling, and delivery, adhering to ISO 17025:2005 standards. The study involves fire assay with a gravimetric finish, with Platinex and Activation Laboratories inserting standards and blanks and conducting duplicate analyses to ensure accuracy.
