Apr. 6, 2010 (TheNewswire.ca) --
Vancouver, B.C. - JOURNEY RESOURCES CORP. (OOTC:JNYRF) (TSXV:JNY) ("Journey" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the Company has contracted RJR Mineral Services for evaluation and establishment of a mining operation on the Charay deposit. The Charay gold-silver deposit is located near (35 km northeast) the town of Los Mochis, Sinaloa state, Mexico.
The principal of RJR Mineral Services is Robert Rodger, professional mining engineer, with over thirty years diversified experience as a company executive, in mining operations, mine development, engineering, mineral economics and mine reclamation in Canada and abroad.
The priority of the contract is to develop a plan of operation for the mining of the bulk sample (+/- 35,000 tonnes). This will provide an assessment to the grade and mineral processing characteristics of the deposit.
In 2008, the Company acquired an option on the Charay property, which comprises three mineral concessions covering approximately 380 hectares located in northern Sinaloa State, Mexico, approximately 250 km northwest of the state capital Culiacan. In 2005, Vane Minerals Group drilled 27 shallow holes on the property, nineteen of which targeted and intersected mineralized epithermal quartz veining along a 240 meter strike length of the El Padre vein.
The qualified person for the project, Phil Van Angeren, P.Geol, is evaluating historical data and developing a drilling and bulk sampling program with the goal of defining a geological resource sufficient to commission a feasibility study for the project. A 43-101 compliant report is currently being prepared for Journey.
