Pasinex's Drilling Success at Pinargozu Zinc-Lead Project, Turkey,
Confirms Continuity of High-Grade Material
May 26, 2015 � Pasinex Resources Limited (CSE: PSE) (FSE: PNX) today announced an
update on exploration drilling at its Pinargozu Zinc Mine in Adana province, Turkey, where
Pasinex has a 50:50 joint venture with Turkish mining company Akmetal AS in the Horzum AS
joint venture company.
Steve Williams, CEO of Pasinex Resources states, "This is an exciting time for Pasinex. Drill
results from our Pinargozu mine project continue to cut high-grade zinc mineralization. Several
holes intercepted mineralization ranging between 19.5% up to 36.5% Zn. What is particularly
encouraging is that these intercepts are all in is emerging as a new north-east extension where
drilling previously cut 35.5 m of 37.7% zinc (see news release from March 25th earlier this year).
We now have a number of intercepts in this area that enable us to start to work in-house on
estimating a resource in this area. In the meantime, drilling continues on Pinargozu and most
importantly on the nearby Akkaya exploration project which also lies along the main mineralizing
trend. We expect to report on Akkaya during the summer months."
Since the last news release in this regard (25 March, 2015), Horzum AS has completed 14
diamond bore holes at the Pinargozu Mine for an aggregate of 1,534 m of drilling.
Underground development at the Pinargozu mine continues with the objective of ramping up
production. Mine production of high grade direct shipping material has continued through all of
2015. The production rate for 2015, through to end of April, averaged 29 tpd or approximately
2.4 million pounds of zinc, year-to-date. The mined material has all been moved from the mine
site to a warehouse in Adana (owned by Akmetal AS). There it is crushed, sized and stored
pending final sale. The joint venture company Horzum AS (50 / 50 Pasinex and Akmetal AS)
has increased the workforce at the Pinargozu mine site this year from around 35 people on site
to over 50 people. The staff increase will assist with production from the underground mine. The
immediate task is to carry out more drifting underground and mine development in general that
will open up more galleries to access, mine and then transport the mined direct shipping
material for ultimate sale. All of this work will feed into a maiden and compliant resource report
that will be made available later next quarter.
The results of this drilling are summarised in Table 1 below, and illustrated in Figures 1 and 2
overleaf.

outlines, and areas from which ore has been mined (red).
The following conclusions are drawn from the results of this drilling:
(1) Mineralization intersected in recent boreholes has confirmed continuation of high-grade
zinc mineralization to the north east and to the north at Pinargozu, which is accessible
from existing workings.
(2) Continuity of mineralization identified in bore holes PPS15_010 to PPS15_013 is very
important since these holes were targeting the mineralized zone from a different angle
and from a different drill site than that used for previous holes.
(3) From a total of seven surface drill holes completed since the previous press release, five
intersected inferred extensions of the mineralized zone previously reported for
PPS15_004 and PSS14_008, situated to the north east of recent underground
development at Pinargozu Mine.
(4) Results listed in Table 1 include a 12.3 m intersection in borehole PPS15_013 grading
26.6% zinc, 19.5% zinc over a 7.2 m interval in PPS15_012 and a 4.8 m intersection
grading at 21.7% zinc in borehole PSS15_007.
