The Magnet Gold Mine - (shown in 1936) produced 152,000 oz. of gold - from 360,000 tons of ore -
Acquired in 1980, Roxmark’s 100% interest in the Magnet Mine property (formerly held by Magnet Consolidated Mines Limited) consists of 27 mining claims under a 21-year renewable lease covering 974 acres located in Errington Township.
Also included in the 27 mining leases are a total of 19 claims covering 812 acres which includes surface rights to leases on the property.
The Magnet Mine - property is equipped with headframe, production hoist, compressors, certain mining equipment, generator, hydro substation, shop, dry, office, etc. The mine was inactive since 1988.
The property produced 152,000 ounces of gold - from 360,000 tons for an average grade of 0.42 oz. in gold per ton. The mine is serviced with a shaft and winze to 2,640 feet depth.
Roxmark drilled an exploratory hole from the shaft station at the 11th level south through the Bankfield Tombill Fault. It encountered a high grade intersection averaging 1.32 oz. in gold over 4.4 feet. The intersection will be followed up by drilling from the mine workings west on the 11th level and east of the shaft on the 7th level. This zone will probably surface on the Company-controlled McLellan Joint Venture property. This intersection is not included in the potential resources. The mine was inactive since 1988.
Historical tonnage calculation by J. C. Fagan and associates dated March 1, 1999 estimated 23,055 tons grading 0.49 oz. of gold per ton. [This estimate is not in complaint with - the gov. bureaucracy of NI 43-101.]

Drilling on Roxmark's Magnet Mine Property - by Premier Gold Intersects Primary Target - Friday January 25, 1:02 pm ET TORONTO, Jan. 25 /CNW Telbec/ -
Roxmark Mines Limited - (TSXV - RMK) today announced that drilling by Premier Gold Mines Limited - (TSX:PG - News) at Roxmark's Magnet Gold Mine property - in the Geraldton Camp, a property subject to an earn-in option by Premier, has intersected the primary target horizon, the Main "Tombill-Bankfield Break".
Two distinct zones were intersected, confirming the presence of significant veining and mineralization in - the target horizon (including visible gold).
Historically, in 1988, from the 11th level station of the Magnet Gold Mine, a flat hole intersected the Tombill-Bankfield fault horizon, host to the largest mine in the district, approximately 500 meters south of the main shaft.
This hole intersected 45.26g/t Au (1.32 oz/ton) over 1.34 meters in the host horizon and was not followed-up.
This host horizon was intersected at a depth of approximately 500 meters and is now the focus of current drilling with two drills.
This zone will probably surface on the Company-controlled - McLellan Joint Venture property.
In addition to the target horizon, an additional mineralized zone was intersected further up-hole.
The current drilling is part of a major $2.5 Million dollar ongoing exploration program carried out by Premier.
In addition to the main target, recent drilling performed in the "Benedict Zone", a secondary target located proximal to the Magnet Mine, intersected gold mineralization including 10.22 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au; 0.30 opt) over 2.5m and 8.14g/t Au (0.23 opt) over 2.0m.
The Geraldton Project is being operated by Premier under an option agreement with Roxmark.
The Magnet Mine produced 152,000 ounces of gold from 360,000 tons for an average grade of 0.42 oz. in gold per ton.
The mine is serviced with a shaft and winze to 2,640 feet depth.
The property is equipped with headframe, production hoist, compressors, certain mining equipment, generator, hydro substation, shop, dry, office, etc. The mine was inactive since 1988.
The Geraldton Project - is located in the heart of the Beardmore-Geraldton Greenstone Belt - a highly prospective high-grade gold district - that has seen relatively little exploration over the past several decades.
The Project area covers approximately 10 kilometres of some of the most strategic ground in the region and is host to past-producing mines and numerous exploration targets in a district that has more than 4.1 Million ounces - of historic gold production.
Stephen McGibbon, P. Geo., Executive Vice-President of Premier, is the Qualified Person for the information contained in this press release and is a Qualified Person within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101.
Premier Gold Mines Limited - is a fully-financed Canadian-based mineral exploration and development company with diverse property holdings that include several projects and deposits in Northwestern Ontario and a joint venture in Mexico. In the Red Lake gold mining camp, two of these projects - are operated in joint venture with Goldcorp Inc.
About Roxmark Mines
Roxmark Mines Limited - is the leader in gold and molybdenum exploration and development in the historically significant - Geraldton-Beardmore area of Northwest Ontario. In the last two years, Roxmark has generated cash flow from bulk-sampled gold and molybdenum processed at its fully-permitted mill and has the advantage of infrastructure from six formerly highly productive gold mines located on its properties.
These mines previously produced nearly two million ounces of gold from high grade ore but were closed primarily due to dramatically lower gold prices at the time and to boundary issues, since eliminated.
Three of our mines in the Beardmore camp processed a total of 1.5 million tons of ore that produced in excess of one million ounces of gold, with an average recovered grade of 0.70 oz. Au/ton.

Repairs will involve a team of about 50 people, including navigation experts and cable engineers, said Flag Telecom.
The ship that will repair the first severed cable is already in place, with repairs underway, while the second vessel is expected to begin work on Tuesday.

"It will be a highly technical job and should take a week to complete," a spokesperson for Flag Telecom told the BBC News website.
The cause of the damage has not been officially confirmed but there have been reports that the breaks were related to a tanker dragging its anchor along the sea bed.
