TORONTO, Jan. 4 /CNW/ -- TSX-V:TME; FWB:TQ1 TORONTO, Jan. 4 /CNW/ - Temex Resources Corp. (TSX-V: TME, FWB: TQ1) "Temex" or "the Company" reports that significant gold intersections were recorded from 13 short holes drilled at the Hallnor 1-55 vein system on the Whitney JV Property, located in the heart of the Timmins Gold Camp. The Hallnor 1-55 Zone is one of several high priority gold targets on the Whitney Property currently being explored by the Company under the terms of a joint venture agreement between Temex (60%) and Goldcorp Canada Ltd. (40%). Highlights: -- All 13 holes drilled into the Hallnor 1-55 Zone encountered gold mineralization at shallow depths including: 50.10 g/t Au over 0.70 metres in TW10-102; 24.75 g/t Au over 0.70 metres in TW10-96; 2.28 g/t Au over 12.00 metres in TW10-98; and 3.32 g/t Au over 7.00 metres in TW10-97. -- The near-surface 1-55 vein system is one of several gold zones considered by the Company to have high potential for the definition of economic bulk tonnage gold resources. -- Priority exploration targets to be tested early in 2011. Thirteen drill holes, averaging 165 metres in length, all intersected significant gold mineralization at shallow depths. Results include high-grade intercepts in drill hole TW10-102 which cut 50.10 g/t Au over 0.70 metres at a depth of 62.70 metres and wider gold intersections including TW10-98 which yielded 2.28 g/t Au over 12.00 metres at a depth of 58.00 metres and TW10-97 which assayed 3.32 g/t Au over 7.00 metres at a depth of 76.30 metres. All significant intersections are reported in the attached table of results.  The Hallnor 1-55 vein system was identified in 2003 by the previous operators of the Porcupine Joint Venture, (Placer Dome Limited and Kinross Gold Corporation), as "having high potential for the definition of gold resources that could possibly be exploited by open pit mining methods". The zone consists of closely spaced, sub-vertical gold-bearing veins with a potential strike length of 500 metres. The 1-55 vein system is one of several near-surface gold zones on the Whitney Property with near surface resources (not in compliance with National Instrument 43-101). Commented Ian Campbell, President and CEO, "In addition to the high discovery potential at deep levels below the Hallnor deposit the 1-55 vein system is one of several promising near surface gold zones we are evaluating as part of our global gold resource tally on the Whitney Property.  This is an integral part of our strategy continuing in 2011 along with testing new priority targets that have been identified. Our current program is confirming gold grades and is demonstrating excellent continuity as every drill hole cut gold mineralization which is a high gold hit ratio in the Timmins camp." The current drilling is part of the Company's on-going 40-hole, 10,000 metre minimum diamond drill program on the Whitney JV Property. Assays are pending for approximately 25 additional drill holes and once received and compiled they will be released prior to resumption of drilling in early 2011. The Whitney Property has historic gold production from the Broulan Reef, Bonetal and Hallnor mines, the latter of which is the highest grade mine (of those that produced 1 million ounces) in the 70 million ounce Porcupine Gold Camp.  Gold production from the Hallnor Mine amounted to more than 1.7 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 0.40 opt (13.71 g/t) gold while the Broulan Reef produced 490,000 ounces of gold at an average grade of 0.23 opt (7.88 g/t) gold. The Property is located central to a 10 million ounce gold mine trend and is surrounded by Goldcorp to the east, Lake Shore Gold Corp. to the north, and a joint venture between San Gold Corporation, Lexam Explorations Inc., and VG Gold Corp. to the west.  To view a map of the Whitney JV Property please visit: http://files.newswire.ca/322/temex.pdf Jari Paakki, P.
