AmMex Gold Begins Drill Program at their Bailey Hills Project on the Carlin Trend, Nevada
December 13, 2006 - AmMex Gold Mining Corp. (OTCBB: AMXG) (FWB: R5E; WKN: A0KE72) is pleased to announce that a reverse-circulation drill program has commenced at their Bailey Hills property, located along the Carlin Trend in Nevada. AmMex Gold has contracted an Ingersoll-Rand TH-100A, with Harris Exploration Drilling and Associates Inc. of Escondido California, to drill a minimum of 10,000 feet in 10 - 14 drill holes.
Bill Reed, VP Exploration said, "I am very excited about the target we have identified at Bailey Hills. It can be described as the bounding structures of a horst complex of up-thrown Paleozoic carbonate units, the Devils Gate Limestone and the Webb formation, which hosts Carlin style gold mineralization at the Rain mine located to the NW where gold mineralization is contained in the breccia at the contact between the two units."
A second CSAMT survey was recently completed and used in conjunction with prior magnetometer, gravity and induced polarization surveys to delineate feeder zones in sufficient detail as to permit drill testing for a Rain-type exploration target.
The project is along a prospective northwest structural zone, which hosts numerous world-class gold deposits and where the structural and lithologic setting, both on a regional and property scale, is similar to that of the Rain/Emigrant deposits. Underlying the Bailey Hills property are the same units which host gold at Rain and proximal intrusions are noted at both. As of 2002, gold reserves and resources for the rain sub district totaled 3.93 million ounces.
About Bailey Hills
The Bailey Hills project covers approximately 4.5 square miles (approximately 3,000 acres) and consists of 150 mining claims within the southernmost part of the Carlin trend, within the Great Basin in Nevada. Currently, about 11 percent of the total world production of gold is produced annually from this region.
AmMex Gold can earn an 80 percent interest in the property from Global Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: CTG) with expenditures of $4 million (U.S.) within a three-year period, payable as follows: $1 million (U.S.) in the first year, $1.5 million (U.S.) in the second year and $1.5 million (U.S.) in the third year.
