ROUYN-NORANDA, Quebec, Sept. 26, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. (GMX) has recently announced an exciting development for its shareholders: the acquisition of 16 unpatented lode claims covering 133.78 hectares (330.57 acres) in Clark County, Nevada. This strategic move highlights the company’s commitment to exploring high-potential mining opportunities, particularly in the realm of precious metals. Grab samples collected from the site have yielded impressive results, with assays showing up to 1,171 g/t silver and 11.5 g/t gold.
Historical Context and Geology
The Red Star Project is situated at the northwestern edge of the historic Crescent Mining District, nestled against the western slope of the McCullough Mountain range. Prospecting in this area dates back to around 1894, but significant discoveries were elusive until the peak mining activity between 1905 and 1907, when at least ten companies operated in the region. The revival of metal mining in 1936, spurred by rising precious metal prices, saw small companies and lessees engage in extraction activities until 1942. Notably, the district has produced turquoise, gold, silver, copper, and lead, although comprehensive production data remains scarce.
Initial exploration of the Red Star vein system occurred between 1907 and 1914, when it was staked by the Red Star Mines Company. This company also acquired the high-grade Ag-Au vein system at the nearby Double Standard mine, located just 2.5 km south of the Red Star claims.
Geological Features of the Red Star Project
The Red Star Project encompasses two significant epithermal quartz vein systems: the over 2 km long Red Star vein system and the 470 m long segment of the Double Standard vein system. The Red Star vein trends approximately 100° and dips at an average of 55° north, with outcroppings traceable over a lateral distance of 2,000 m. The vein’s width varies significantly, ranging from less than 1 m to 23 m, with an average width of about 4 m.
The Double Standard vein system, striking at an average of 105° and dipping at 70° north, is also noteworthy. The western segment, staked by Globex, is traceable over 470 m and features a principal vein alongside several splays.
Sampling and Assay Results
Globex has conducted initial fieldwork, including geological mapping and the collection of 65 rock samples from the Red Star property. These samples include 60 from the Red Star vein, 3 from the Double Standard veins, and additional samples from the Peak and Aurum veins. The results from these samples are promising, particularly for the low- and intermediate sulfidation epithermal mineralization observed in the area.
Key Assay Findings
Pulse A1: Found primarily in the Double Standard vein system, with assays showing up to 9.6 g/t Au and 70 g/t Ag.
Pulse A2: The most significant mineralization within the Red Star vein system, yielding elevated gold values, including samples with 0.73 ppm Au and 4.1 ppm Ag over a 3 m width.
Pulse B: Represents the latest epithermal stage, characterized by massive quartz bands and high-grade ginguro quartz, with samples yielding gold equivalent values up to 20.4 g/t.
These results underscore the potential for high-grade silver and gold mineralization in the Red Star Project.
Analytical Methods
To ensure the accuracy and reliability of the assay results, samples were sent to American Assay Laboratories (AAL) in Sparks, Nevada, an ISO 17025 certified laboratory. The samples underwent rigorous preparation and geochemical analysis, including ICP-OES analysis and fire assays for gold. This meticulous process guarantees a near-total digest of the samples, providing a comprehensive understanding of the mineralization present.
Future Prospects
The Red Star Project presents a compelling opportunity for discovery in epithermal high-grade silver-gold and polymetallic mineralization. With the geological features and promising assay results, Globex Mining Enterprises Inc. is poised to explore this potential further.
As the company continues its exploration efforts, shareholders and stakeholders alike are encouraged to stay informed about developments in this exciting project. The Red Star Project not only represents a significant addition to Globex’s portfolio but also highlights the enduring potential of the Crescent Mining District.
