Hole 13 intersects 13.1 g/t Au over 6.0 m in the Fernland Area Mineralization confirmed in the Bear Lake Area
LONGUEUIL, QUEBEC AND TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 1, 2007) - Maximus Ventures Ltd. ("Maximus") (TSX VENTURE:MXV) and NFX Gold Inc. ("NFX") (TSX VENTURE:NFX) are pleased to announce the discovery of a new high grade gold zone at the Larder Lake Gold Project. Hole #13 cut 6.0 m of flow-type mineralization grading 13.1 g/t Au, including a 3.0 m section grading 19.9 g/t Au, at a depth of 160 metres below surface. This intersection, located in the Fernland area, is open down-plunge for at least 600 metres and laterally for over 300 metres. It is on the same favourable geologic horizon as the recent Bear Lake discovery, 2.3km to the east, where intercepts of 10.4 g/t Au over 5.2 m and 13.3 g/t Au over 6.0 m in hole #11 were reported in a press release dated August 16, 2007. (Visit Maximus web site www.maximusventures.com for our corporate presentation and figures).
Furthermore, assay results have been received from two of the follow-up holes drilled around the high grade gold zones intersected in hole #11 in the Bear Lake Area referenced above. Hole #15, drilled 50 metres down-plunge from hole #11, intersected 1.2 g/t Au over 5.5 m followed by 7.0 g/t Au over 4.1 m. Hole #14, drilled 75 metres up-plunge from #11, also intersected both zones with the upper zone grading 0.5 g/t Au over 8.9 m and the lower zone averaging 0.5 g/t Au over 7.0 m. Results from holes #16, drilled 70 metres east of hole #11, are still pending and hole #17, drilled 50 metres west and below hole #11, is currently in progress.
Follow-up drilling to date on the Bear Lake gold zone has confirmed the continuity of the gold mineralization and the lower grades intersected in holes #14 and #15 demonstrate that both high grade and low grade shoots are present within the mineralized area. Additional drilling is required to define the strike, dip of these mineralized zones, and to further define potential higher-grade lenses. Typically, this style of mineralization in the Larder Lake area can be deeply seated and higher-grade gold mineralization within each of these gold shoots generally starts at a vertical depth of approximately 400 to 500m. The presence of albitized high iron mafic and/or ultramafic rocks is a common feature for the gold-rich lenses, which were also present in the high-grade gold zones at the nearby Kerr Addison Mine located some 6 km to the east.
While a limited number of additional holes could be drilled from the shores of Bear Lake, detailed definition drilling will be better achieved from the ice this winter and a second drill is expected to start working in January 2008. While waiting for the assay results of the two follow-up holes (#16 and #17) at Bear Lake, the drill will relocate to the Fernland area to carry out follow-up drilling laterally and down-plunge of the newly discovered high-grade mineralization.
"We are pleased with the recent results from Larder Lake," stated Francois Viens President and CEO of Maximus. "The discovery of this new high grade mineralization at Fernland confirms the potential for the multi-kilometre long geologic sequence to host a series of high grade gold deposits. The Fernland discovery is also very shallow compared to the usual high-grade mineralization found in the area. In combination with the Bear Lake discovery, our results so far suggest the possibility for a highly prospective gold camp".

Larder Lake Property
The Larder Lake Project consists of the Cheminis, Bear Lake, Fernland and Barber Larder properties (all 100% NFX owned). Under the Option and Joint Venture Agreement between Maximus and NFX signed March 3, 2006, Maximus has the right to earn a 60% interest in NFX's interest at Larder Lake by expending $6 million on exploration by December 31, 2008.
As part of its QA/QC program, Maximus carries out check assays on the high-grade intersections with no discrepancies found in the assay results. The turnaround time for the reception of assay results from the lab has been very slow since September, due to the very large amount of samples received with the end of the field season. The situation is gradually returning to normal.
The technical content of the information related to Larder Lake was reviewed by Mr. Bernard Boily, P. Geo., responsible for supervising the drilling campaign and qualified person for Maximus under the guidelines of National Instrument 43-101. The analytical method for gold is one (1) assay-ton fire assay, AA determination with gravimetric finish on all samples reporting over 2 grams per tonne (g/t) gold. Assaying is done at Laboratoire Expert Inc. in Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. The quality control process includes inserting blank samples and certified standards within each batch sent to the laboratory.
schaut euch mal den chart der letzten tage an ..
hier neue news ..
Gerade eben meldet auch Maximus Ventures (CAD-Kürzel MXV; WKN 900922) hervorragende Bohrergbnisse und die Entdeckung einer weiteren High-Grade-Zone im Larder Lake Gebiet. Dieses Gebiet in der Nähe der historischen Kerr Mine (11 Mio. Unzen Produktion) gilt als völlig unexploriert. Experten rechnen nach den jüngsten Ergebnissen damit, dass hier eine neues Gold-Camp entdeckt werden könnte. Die einzigen Nutznießer, da Projektbesitzer: Maximus und NFX. In Kanada kaufen seit Wochen die großen Adressen bei beiden Aktien ein. Wir empfehlen jedoch, vornehmlich weiter auf Maximus zu setzen, da diese 60 % am Projekt halten!
with 19.9 g Au/t) noch etwas besser aus als Loch 11, da das Gold
in einer wesentlich geringeren Tiefe gefunden wurde (170m-180m
zu 580m-670m bei Loch 11) !!!
Ich persönlich, hätte gerne noch ein paar Gramm mehr gesehen!
Trotzdem beweist dieser erneute Fund, welches Potential in dieser
Gegend liegt! :-)
Unter´m Strich kann man mit den Ergebnissen zufrieden sein, da sie auch den aktuellen Aktienkurs begründen!
Mal sehen was die Canis drauß machen... ?? :-)

Letztendlich kann nur eine annerkannt Studie das ganze Potenzial klären, wobei ich davon ausgehe, wenn so etwas veröffentlicht würde, stehen etliche Käufer auf der Matte um uns die Aktien aus der Hand zu reißen.
