RX Exploration Inc's strategy is to re-examine mineral projects within North America that have previously reached advanced exploration, underground development or past gold or silver production.
During 2008 RX Exploration was active in exploring the potential of two past producing mines, which included work from underground on both projects. Additional programs are planned or recommended on both projects during 2009 - refer to News or Properties.
Drumlummon Mine Project, Montana, USA
The Drumlummon was one of the largest producers of gold and silver in the western United States, primarily between 1883 and 1901. RX Exploration commenced underground drilling on this project in the spring of 2008 and announced an initial gold and silver resource later in the year. Underground drilling is continuing on this project.
Sill Lake Silver Lead Project, Ontario, Canada
The Sill Lake Silver Lead Mine near Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario was shut down in the late 1990's, reportedly due to low metal prices. During 2008, RX Exploration completed linecutting, an IP geophysical survey, diamond drilling, and underground sampling programs on this project.
