Dear Sir/Madam
COMMENCEMENT OF AIRCORE DRILLING PROGRAM AT GOLDEN MILE SOUTH
Orrex Resources Ltd (“Orrex” or the “Company”) is pleased to advise that it has commenced an aircore drilling program at the Golden Mile South Project (“GMS”) to test the Lakewood Target (Figure 1).
This drilling program represents a focused, up to 3,000m program, designed as a first pass test of this priority target.
In additional to cautiously advancing the GMS Project, the Board is actively reviewing business opportunities in Australia and other favourable investment jurisdictions with the aim of securing a more advanced gold or copper-gold project that could deliver shareholder value in the nearer term.
Lakewood Target
The Lakewood target is located in the northern portion of the GMS Project area proximal to Silver Lake Resources Lakewood Gold Mill (Figure 1). This target was generated and prioritised as part of the whole-of-project technical review that was completed during the first quarter 2014.
As shown on Figure 2, the target represents a compelling conceptual lithostructural setting where the northeast trending Hannans Fault (which controls mineralisation at the historic Hannans South gold mine) intersects the south-southwest trending Gidji Shear system (which north of Kalgoorlie controls the multimillion ounce Paddington deposits). This intersection occurs at the margin of an interpreted buried intrusive body that can be seen in the Company’s high resolution aeromagnetic data, and represents a potential “pressure shadow” setting known within the Goldfields to be potentially prospective.
Historic limited and broadly spaced reconnaissance aircore drilling in this target area on 350m line-spacings with 200m spaced holes resulted in a single line across the centre of the target area (Figure 3). Three of these drill holes intersected anomalous gold including 4m @ 1.23g/t Au from 52m in hole 07LKA178, 8m @ 0.50g/t Au from 52m in hole 07LKA177 and 4m @ 0.18g/t Au from 56m in hole 07LKA176. These intersections all occur at the “cover – bedrock interface” (“CBI”) and thus in part represent alluvial gold being mobilised within the base of the palaeochannel.

However some gold anomalism persists past the CBI and into bedrock supporting a potential “local source” for the alluvial gold. The combination of the strong lithostructural setting and the strong gold anomalism in the current single line of historical aircore drilling represents a priority target for the Company. The planned drilling program will be completed during September 2014 with assay results likely to be available in mid-October 2014.
