RX Exploration Intersects 504.8 g/t Gold and 4,370 g/t Silver over Half a MetreLast update: 3/30/2011 9:04:00 AMWINNIPEG, Manitoba, Mar 30, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE)
-- RX Exploration Inc. (CA:RXE) (otcqx:RXEXF) ("RX Exploration" or the "Company") is pleased to announce results from two additional underground drill holes that have intersected high-grade gold and silver mineralization in the D-Block zone and five holes from the D Block South zone at its 100%-owned Drumlummon Mine Montana. (In this release "g/t" means grams per tonne, "opt" means ounces per ton.)
A narrow but very high-grade mineralized zone was intersected within the D-Block zone. Drilling indicates that this stringer-style, bonanza grade mineralization is hosted within a wider zone of mineralized material. Assay results from drill holes 11-249 and 281 are outlined in the following table.

These new assay results from the D-Block South zone, combined with earlier results announced in the news release dated March 15, 2011 continue to expand the size of the D block South zone. "So far, the drill program in the D-Block South area has outlined a mineralized zone measuring 100 ft long, 20-to-30 ft wide and 100-to-150 ft down dip and grading in excess of 0.15 opt gold and 1 opt silver," commented Murray Nye, President of RX Exploration. "Our mining engineers believe that this mineralized zone could be easily mined by long-hole methods. Current underground development is within 100 ft of the D-Block South zone on two separate levels allowing easy access to this potential resource. D-Block and D-Block South are part of the main Drumlummon vein system that was originally mined in the late 1800's. In the 1980's previous operators reported the presence of 160,000 tons of mineralized material in "D" Block, below the 400 foot level, grading 0.4 oz/ton gold and 4.0 oz/ton silver. These figures are historical in nature, are not 43-101 compliant, and should not be relied upon by investors. RX Exploration has been drill testing the D-Block, D-Block South, Xmas and Charly vein systems from drill stations 9, 10, 11, and 12 as part of an ongoing 70,000 ft. underground drilling campaign. The current drill program will allow the company to update its NI-43-101 resource estimate which at the moment only outlines resources in the Charly Vein. Additional results will be released as they become available. Quality Control/Quality Assurance (QC/QA) Drill core is logged, photographed, and cut in half with a diamond saw. One half is fire assayed in the on-site lab, or at Mt. Powell Lab, Deerlodge, MT; the other half is archived and stored on site. For QC/QA purposes standards, blanks, and repeats are randomly inserted into the sample stream. Selected samples of pulps and rejects are sent to ALS Chemex Lab, Reno, NV for verification assaying. Chemex assay results of duplicates have confirmed the accuracy of the assay results from the on-site lab on a continuing basis. L. Joseph Bardswich, P.Eng.
