Malbex Resources Inc. has filed its interim financial statements and MD&A for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2011 on SEDAR.
“Our technical team has made significant strides recently,” said Tim Warman, President and CEO. “Our first-ever resource estimate on the gold-silver oxide discovery at Rojo Grande is advancing and should be completed by the end of Q4. Sample collection and preparation for the second round of metallurgical testing will commence in August, and preparations are well advanced for our next field season. We expect to complete some 15,000 metres of drilling, geophysical surveying and other exploration activities on our lead Del Carmen project beginning in October. Within the next few months we also hope to announce the acquisition of one or more early-stage South American gold exploration projects, augmenting our portfolio with projects that can be explored year-round.”
