VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUBIA--(Marketwired - Oct. 20, 2015) - Cambridge House is pleased to announce the participation of Alexco Resource Corp. (TSX:AXR)(NYSE MKT:AXU) at The Silver Summit & Resource Expo on November 23-24, 2015 at The Park Central Hotel San Francisco. Alexco recently reported that it drilled 5 meters (true width) of 7,462 grams per tonne silver (240 ounces per tonne) at its Bermingham project, along with other significant silver intercepts. The full news release can be accessed at http://www.alexcoresource.com/s/news.asp?ReportID=723173, but a synopsis follows here:
Significant true width intercepts include 4.98 meters grading 7,462 grams per tonne ("g/t") (240.0 ounces per ton ("oz/t")) silver, 4.76 meters grading 2,357 g/t (75.8 oz/t) silver, 2.35 meters of 3,774 g/t (121.3 oz/t) silver and ranging down to 1.81 meters grading 794 g/t (25.5 oz/t) silver were returned from drill holes in the 2015 program. The drilling at Bermingham has now identified a high grade silver and gold bearing zone over at least 140 meters down-plunge across a width of approximately 40 meters. The zone averages 3 .7 meters true thickness, is locally more than 5.5 meters thick and remains open both up dip and down dip.
Alexco President and CEO Clynt Nauman commented, "The discovery of this open ended, very high grade silver and gold bearing zone within the Bermingham area may be a game changer for the future of Keno Hill. Clearly, grades ranging from approximately 0.8 kilogram to more than 7.0 kilograms per tonne of silver with up to 2 g/t of gold over sizable true widths in several drill holes is a significant discovery. Additionally, the style and tenor of this discovery is consistent with zones often associated within the largest and highest grade silver deposits in the District." Overall, the Bermingham mineralized system remains open in all directions, especially to the northeast where potential linkage to the historic, high-grade Hector-Calumet silver mine remains to be resolved, and also to the southwest where there remains a kilometer of untested ground. Updated composite assay tables, along with a drill hole location map and a long section plot, for the drill holes reported here are available for review on the Company's website at www.alexcoresource.com.
