About Platinex Inc.
Platinex’s goal is to create shareholder value through exploration, opportunistic acquisition and discovery of commercial deposits with a focus on gold. Platinex has revealed strong evidence of a major gold bearing zone on its Shining Tree property as evidenced by a provincially significant, extraordinarily high gold content of soil samples (glacial till) along a nine km long corridor. Platinex has commissioned an independent valuation of the Herrick deposit. The Central Zone of the Herrick deposit has been systematically sampled over a 361 m length returning an average of 6.98 g/t Au/1.9 m true width. Sixty two holes to a depth of 300 meters have been drilled to initially assess the Herrick deposit. Shares of Platinex are listed for trading on the TSX-V under the symbol “PTX”.
