(OTCBB:RFIVF) is pleased to report results received from the initial drill core on the Hampton property located in Livingston County, Kentucky, USA. The drilling is part of the Shawnee Project zinc and fluorspar exploration program and is being conducted by Dynamex Resources Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary.
Core hole DXHR-1 encountered thick and high-grade bedded zinc sulfide deposits at depths of 172 meters to 197 meters (25 meters true thickness) that contained an average of 11.2% zinc. There are two higher-grade bedded units within this interval, consisting of 12.1 meters of 12.6% zinc and 8.0 meters of 15.6% zinc. This hole is located within a partly-drilled historic zinc resource that was calculated by a prior operator at 389,225 tons containing 14% zinc. Dynamex controls this resource together with additional acreage which total 3,406.95 acres.
Work is being undertaken under the direction of Boyce Moodie, III, a Professional Geologist in Kentucky and Jay Gatten, a Professional Geologist in Utah. Jay Gatten notes: “This first drill hole confirms the reported thickness and grade of a large bedded (replacement) zinc resource on the Hampton property. This property is approximately 616.8 hectares (1524 acres) in size. A mineralized vein and dike system trend almost due north the full length of the property, a distance of more than 2700 meters. Past drilling has identified significant zinc and fluorspar resources throughout the length of this system, presenting several excellent exploration and mine development targets. This drill hole confirms the thickness and grade of a portion of the zinc resource and enhances the value and potential of the propertyâ€.
The core was cut and sampled under the direction of Boyce Moodie, III and then sealed and shipped via courier to ACME Labs in Vancouver, BC. ACME Lab’s quality system complies with the requirements of the International Standards ISO 9001:2000 and ISP 17025: 1995. Analytical accuracy and precision are monitored by the analysis of reagent blanks, reference material and replicate samples. Finally, representative blind duplicate and blank core samples are forwarded to ACME for additional analyses.
