Commentary
“The superior information and visibility of the OTCQX marketplace allows companies to efficiently build investor confidence and expand their shareholder base,” said R. Cromwell Coulson, President and CEO of OTC Markets Group. “We are pleased to welcome Merrex Gold Inc. to OTCQX.”
“As Merrex’s Siribaya Gold Project continues to mature, so too should our corporate visibility,” commented Merrex President and CEO Greg Isenor. “In our last financing, Merrex received significant investment from U.S. based institutions and we received large numbers of inquiries from interested potential U.S. investors. Trading on OTCQX will make it much easier for U.S. investors to purchase and sell shares of Merrex while not overly burdening Merrex management or staff with additional compliance issues. It is the best of both worlds for us. We thank Mr. Coulson, President and CEO of OTC Markets Group, for his welcome and look forward to trading on the OTCQX.”
About the Siribaya Gold Project
The 848 square kilometre Siribaya Gold Project in West Mali is Merrex’s flagship property. The Siribaya Gold Project is being explored in conjunction with Merrex’s 50% earn-in partner and project operator IAMGOLD Corporation. The 2011 exploration program within the Siribaya mega-structure includes 30,000 metres of RC drilling to further extend the explored strike length of the Siribaya trends from three to seven kilometres of which 21,506 metres were completed prior to the commencement of the seasonal rains, and 10,000 metres of diamond drilling to increase the present NI 43-101 resource of which 6,571 metres
were completed prior to the commencement of the seasonal rains. Substantial numbers of assays from both the RC and diamond drilling programs remain outstanding.
Outside of the Siribaya structures new mineralized trends have been discovered; Siribaya West which lies to the west of the Bambadinka Trend, and the Babara-Kofia trends which lie to the east of Siribaya on the Babara and Kofia permits. These trends will be further tested during the 2011 and 2012 field seasons.
