TYPHOON EXPLORATION INC. ("Typhoon") is pleased to announce that following the resources estimate and the PEA report, Aurizon Mines Ltd.
AZK
is currently pursuing basic work on the Fayolle Property, comprised of 39 mining claims which are owned exclusively by Typhoon and cover 1,373 hectares straddling the major Porcupine-Destor Fault, one of the most productive gold structures of the Abitibi belt. It is to be noted that the mineralized zones of the Fayolle Deposit are distributed along a major shear corridor of approximately 2.5 km long by 1 km wide. Aurizon is currently conducting the revision of drill cores (pre-Typhoon and recent 2010-2012) including lithogeochemical sampling of the main units, alterations and mineralized envelopes; a more detailed description of lithology at the end of drillholes and structures along drillholes as well as economic sampling at the end of drillholes. UPDATED MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE SUMMARY The updated mineral resource estimate integrates the results of all the drill programs on the Fayolle Deposit since the mineral resource estimate prepared for Typhoon Exploration Inc. in 2007. (See press release dated January 19, 2007) The updated mineral resources are estimated at 1,814,800 tonnes at 2.7 grams of gold per tonne, or 156,000 ounces of gold at a minimum cut-off grade of 0.8 grams of gold per tonne. All of the updated mineral resources are in the indicated mineral resource category. (See press release dated September 6, 2012) Preliminary metallurgical testwork indicates a process recovery between 94% and 97% with straight cyanidation. On the environmental side, testing done on two composites samples suggests that acid generation is highly unlikely to occur from these samples considering the high carbonate/low sulphur content profile of both types of mineralized rocks. The following table represents results at additional cut-off grades for comparison purposes (cut-off grades are based on the market conditions: gold price, exchange rates and mining costs).
