Cap-Ex Ventures Ltd. (TSX-V: CEV) ("Cap-Ex" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has acquired through staking, a 100% interest in six strategic iron ore properties in the Labrador Trough near Schefferville, Quebec (the "Additional Properties").
The Additional Properties, total 405 claims and cover an area of 10,125 hectares. The Company's land package in the Schefferville region now covers a total area of 21,975 hectares, strategically located close to iron ore plants. Please refer to the company's website at www.cap-ex.ca for a detailed map of the properties.
Three of the Additional Properties (018602M, 018603M, and 018610M) adjoin Block 103 and cover areas prospective for direct shipping iron ore (DSO). Block 103 has the Sokoman iron formation passing continuously through from northwest to the southwest. Along strike to Block 103, to the north, is New Millennium Capital Corp.'s resource of 66 million tonnes at 59% iron and its KeMag resource of 3.4 billion tonnes at 30% iron. Similarly along strike to the south of Block 103 is New Millennium's resource of 34 million tonnes of direct shipping ore grading 59% iron.
Two of the Additional Properties (018604M, 018609M) adjoin the Company's Redmond Properties. The Additional Properties cover significant amounts of the strategic ironstone stratigraphy of the Sokoman Formation and the probable southeast extension of the key stratigraphic horizon that contains the high-grade direct shipping ores hosted in the Sokoman Formation.
Cap-Ex's neighbor, Labrador Iron Mines Holdings Ltd., owns the main Redmond deposits, where approximately 35 million tonnes of DSO grading 52-54% Iron (Fe) was mined during the 1970s and early 1980s.
The remaining Additional Property (018604M) is several kilometers northwest and along strike with the Redmond direct shipping (DSO) iron ore deposits. The high grade shipping ores (DSO) hosted in the Sokoman formation runs directly through this Additional Property.
Cap-Ex is currently sourcing historical Iron Ore of Canada reports including historical drilling information on the Redmond Properties. This coming exploration season the Company will drill the high grade magnetite and direct shipping iron ore horizons.
