ABOUT CAP-EX VENTURES LTD.
Cap-Ex Ventures Ltd. is a TSX Venture Exchange-listed company focused on the development of its Block 103 iron ore property in the Labrador trough, near the mining town of Schefferville, Quebec.
Through its exploration efforts Cap-Ex has revealed two primary zones of magnetite mineralization on its wholly owned Block 103 Property: the Northwest Zone and the Greenbush Zone. Both zones exhibited excellent drilling and assay results and have high potential to identify additional mineralization as several holes terminated in mineralization and, in most holes, mineralization started near surface and is open in all directions.
The Block 103 property is strategically located close to existing railway, affording direct access to a shipping port, and is adjacent to New Millennium Iron Corp-Tata Steel's LabMag and KeMag deposits and the New Millennium-Tata oxide deposits to the east.
