VANCOUVER, BC, Jan. 9, 2023 /CNW/ - NGEx Minerals Ltd. (TSXV: NGEX) ("NGEx Minerals" "NGEx" or the "Company") ") is pleased to report that it has kicked off the maiden drill program at its Potro Cliffs copper-gold exploration target located in San Juan Province, Argentina. Potro Cliffs is the largest untested hydrothermal system in the Vicuña District and lies along the same major north-northeast structural trend that controls the Filo del Sol deposit located approximately 7 km to the south and the Los Helados deposit located approximately 10 km to the north. The Company plans to initially drill two diamond drill holes, one from the plateau at the top of the cliff and another collared in the valley approximately 700 metres below.  Subsequent drill holes will be planned based on the results of the first two holes.  Drilling has started with one rig at the top of the cliff with a second rig expected to set up on the lower platform in the next few weeks.  Assay results are expected toward the end of the quarter, however exact timing will depend on drilling rates, hole depths, and assay turnaround times.
