Toronto, Ontario--(Newsfile Corp. - February 26, 2015) - Pasinex Resources Limited (CSE: PSE) (FSE: PNX) today announced an update on exploration drilling at its 100%-owned Golcuk Copper Project in Sivas Province, Turkey.

Late last year Pasinex drilled five diamond holes at its Golcuk Main prospect for a total of 994.4 meters. Drilling of three holes planned for the Golcuk West Prospect had to be cancelled as a result of high and un-seasonal snowfall which prevented access of the drilling rig to the Golcuk West drill pads.

The results of this drilling are summarised in Table 1 below, and are illustrated in Figure 1 overleaf.

Hole ID Length (m) From (m) To (m) Interval (m) Cu % Ag (ppm)
PAS03 165.0 6.0 8.0 2.0      0.56 ND
    78.5 85.5 7.0      1.57 6
    90.5 92.5 2.0      1.01 5
    93.5 97.5 4.0      1.83 15
PAS04 203.5 10 13.5 3.5      0.82 9
    28.0 31.0 3.0      0.69 18
PAS05 212.5 117.0 119.5 2.5      1.21 17
    142.5 143.0 0.5      0.42 6
    144.5 145.0 0.5      0.59 1
PAS06 200.4 No significant results    
PAS07 213.0 139.0 142.0 3.0      0.35 7

Table 1: Summary of diamond drilling results from the Golcuk Main Prospect drilled from 1 November to 3 December, 2014.

Copper and silver grades reported in Table 1 are those reported for analyses undertaken by the SGS Geochemical Laboratory in Ankara.

Borehole PAS03 was targeted to confirm continuity of mineralization between boreholes PAS01 and historical borehole TGSJ-19, while the other four boreholes were targeted to test for mineralization striking in the un-tested directions East-North-East (PAS04 and PAS07) and West (PAS05 and PAS06) from the center of mineralization delimited by previous drilling.

While PAS03 encountered mineralization at the approximate depth expected, copper grade was somewhat lower than that encountered in PAS01 and TGSJ-19. PAS07 encountered only trace copper mineralization, at a depth somewhat deeper than encountered in surrounding boreholes.

PAS05 encountered a limited intersection of 1.21% Cu somewhat shallower than mineralization encountered in surrounding boreholes. The results of this borehole, together with those of borehole PAS07 are consistent with a possible 30- to 45-degree dip of the mineralization at Golcuk Main towards the East (Figure 2).
