MinRex Resources Ltd (ASX:MRR) is about to commence a further detailed geological evaluation and sampling program on the East Pilbara tenements that the company holds a 70% interest in.

The company’s field team is about to mobilise to the East Pilbara area to explore all four project areas by conducting geological mapping, rock sampling and site evaluation work.

These project areas include the Bamboo Creek Project, the Daltons Project, the Marble Bar North Project and the Marble Bar South Project.

The results from this program will build on the encouraging recovery of gold nuggets at the Marble Bar North Project area, revealed in January 2018.

MinRex will also follow up the gold assay results from sampling at the Marble Bar South Project area and the significant rock sample results from a large field sampling program at East Pilbara Project areas revealed in June 2018.

MinRex recently completed a maiden JORC resource estimate for the Pacific Express Project on the north coast of New South Wales.
