A 2010 Phase I diamond drill program of 6 holes totalling 1,371 metres has been completed on the Jubilee Zinc Project with drill intersections including Zn/Pb of 4.8% over 10.6 metres; 2.4% over 16 metres and 2.2% over 22.2 metres.

Now that the 2010 Phase I drill program is complete, the project will be managed under a 50/50 Joint Venture Agreement with Frontline as operator.

In addition to a direct 50% interest in Jubilee, Merrex also owns 18,675,000 shares of Frontline (a 39% equity interest) which Merrex will dividend to its shareholders on a record date to be announced.
