METALEX COMMENCES DRILLING OF COPPER-NICKEL-COBALT TARGETS AT B3 CLAIM BLOCK IN QUEBEC

METALEX COMMENCES DRILLING OF COPPER-NICKEL-COBALT TARGETS AT B3 CLAIM BLOCK IN QUEBEC

Yahoo09-06-2025
KELOWNA, BC, June 9, 2025 /CNW/ - Metalex Ventures Ltd. (TSXV: MTX) (the "Company") announces the start of drilling at its 100% owned B3 claim block in Quebec testing promising geophysical anomalies for copper-nickel-cobalt mineralization.
Claim Block B3 (Copper-Nickel-Cobalt)
The 24,322 hectare B3 claim block was staked due to the Company's heavy mineral and soil-till sampling indicating it contains copper-nickel-cobalt sulphides. Metalex has undertaken a VTEM airborne geophysical survey over its B3 claim block by Geotech Ltd.
The VTEM survey, which included both electromagnetic and magnetic data, was reviewed by SHA Geophysics Inc. Their work indicates that eight of the conductors detected by the electromagnetic survey are thought to likely represent sulphide mineralization. These are shown on Map 1.
Drilling has now commenced on the first of these conductors.
Claim Blocks A1 and A2 (Gold)
When drilling at the B3 copper-nickel-cobalt project is complete Metalex hopes to move the drill to its A1 and A2 claim blocks staked for gold. These claim blocks were staked due to the promising gold and pathfinder element results from detailed heavy mineral sampling of the areas. A VTEM survey over the claim blocks identified several conductive and magnetic anomalies that could be the bedrock source of the gold.
Regional Exploration
The Company also intends to complete follow up heavy mineral sampling on gold anomalies identified by its +/- 10,000 sample regional database in Quebec. 185 gold anomalies thought to reflect bedrock rather than placer sources have been discovered in the survey.
The technical information and results reported here have been reviewed by Mr. Chad Ulansky P.Geo., a Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101, who is responsible for the technical content of this release.
Signed,
Charles Fipke
Charles Fipke Chairman

Rail bosses given ‘criminal offence' warning over fare dodger prosecutions

Train company bosses have been warned by the Government they could be breaking the law if they allow unqualified staff to prosecute alleged fare dodgers. A Department for Transport memo sent to operators states it is a 'criminal offence' to let non-lawyers act as prosecutors in court cases with passengers accused of not buying the correct ticket. The use of these lay prosecutors in those circumstances is not legal, the advice warns. There have been a series of high-profile cases in which passengers faced prosecution over small amounts of money. In one example, a passenger was threatened with court action for accidentally selecting a 16-25 railcard ticket when they held a 26-30 railcard, which provides the same discount. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander has written to train operators stating that 'any enforcement must be proportionate and not punish those making genuine mistakes'. She added: 'It is your responsibility to ensure that you are adequately protecting revenue in a cost effective but lawful way.' The Cabinet minister said she accepted the recommendations of regulator the Office of Rail and Road (ORR), which included creating consistency in how passengers are treated when ticket issues arise, and ensuring passengers have clearer information about tickets. Industry body the Rail Delivery Group has estimated that fare dodging creates £350 million to £400 million in lost revenue each year. A Government source said: 'Fare evasion costs the taxpayer hundreds of thousands of pounds a year and dents confidence in our railway, so we're dead serious about tackling it. 'But enforcement must be proportionate. We can't have operators going after an older person faced with an incomprehensible system, or a student who has made an honest mistake. 'We're asking train companies to make sure they are prosecuting fare dodgers properly the first time. 'We'll set out our full response to the ORR report in due course, and Great British Railways will simplify fares and ticketing – restoring a railway the public can be proud of again.' The Government is bringing operators into public ownership as contracts expire. GBR is an upcoming public sector body that will oversee Britain's rail infrastructure and train operation.
