VANCOUVER, BC--(Marketwired - May 04, 2017) - Maxtech Ventures Inc. (
Phase I exploration of surface and sub-surface sample results from the pitting and auger drilling showed a range of 51.4 to 55.9% grade of manganese. Surface exploration by our prospecting team uncovered previously unknown manganese bearing clasts and cobbles. Our prospectors initiated a pitting program with hand dug pits and the contents were sifted with manganese bearing clasts separated and collected leaving the soil and other clasts behind. With the manganese clasts retained, the pits were filled in and the surface returned to a natural state. The analyses was done by SGS Geosol Laboratorios LTDA., Belo Horizonte, Brazil and represented in the table below.
*The selected samples are not necessarily representative of the mineralisation. The grab samples from these pits were sieved and/or screened but they are not composite samples.
