TerraX Minerals Inc. announced that it has received a Land Use Permit for its wholly-owned Southbelt property at Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. Drilling at Southbelt should commence around the end of February once access routes into the target areas have been completed. The Southbelt property is a low cost exploration project as a result of its location 3 kilometers from the city of Yellowknife with excellent access to infrastructure, services and supplies. From a geological perspective, the Southbelt property is adjacent to the past-producing Con mine property, where over six million ounces of gold were mined at an average grade of 16.1 grams per tonne gold over a 60-year mine life. Terrax has identified extensions of several mineralized trends mapped from the Con mine onto the Southbelt property including the namesake Con shear, which appears to continue on to TerraX's property for up to 5 kilometres, and the New Vein shear which contains values up to 94.9 g/t Au. Terrax received further high grade values in 2016 exploration work with up to 33.6 g/t Au and 52 g/t Au in grab samples. A map of the sampling at Southbelt can be accessed here and is available on the company's website under '2016 Field Exploration' under the Southbelt project section. Terrax is planning to undertake 10,000 meters of drilling on the impressive surface exposures of gold bearing structures at Southbelt that are the strike extensions from the Con mine. Terrax has budgeted for 17,000 meters of drilling at Yellowknife in 2017, with the remaining drilling to be carried out on Northbelt property, which covers 15 km of strike immediately north of the past producing Giant Mine where 8.1 million ounces of gold were mined at an average grade of 16.1 g/t Au.
