Canasia Initiates Summer Work Program at Jumbo
=======================================================================
Vancouver, BC Canasia Industries Corporation ("Canasia") announces that
SJ Geophysics Ltd., of Delta, BC, has been retained to implement a
ground-based geophysical survey as part of the 2008 summer work program
on Canasia's Jumbo Gold Property located in southeastern BC. It is
anticipated that crews will be on the ground during the second week of
June.
The work to be done consists of a 3D Induced Polarization/Resistivity
("3DIP") geophysical survey, which will cover approximately 13 line
kilometres and using the 3DIP technique. The 3DIP survey will consist
of a modified pole-dipole survey with 25 metres dipoles and 50 metres
spaced lines.
The Jumbo Property consists of three claims, (approximately 630
hectares), which cover a north-striking shear zone that cuts an
intrusive feldspar porphyry phase of the Nelson Batholith. The shear
zone hosts an epithermal mineralized zone, with a number of showings
exposed along the access road. The mineralization was explored by past
operators through three short adits, all of which are now collapsed and
covered. Production from the Jumbo property between 1973 and 1983
totaled 53 tonnes, yielding 22,930 grams silver, 531 grams gold, 2,665
kilograms lead and 1,891 kilograms zinc.
Mineralization on the Jumbo property consists of silver-bearing galena,
sphalerite, chalcopyrite and gold in the form of electrum associated
with iron-carbonate and quartz in epithermal veins. In 1981, two truck
loads mineralized material were shipped to the Trail smelter for
testing. The first truck load assayed 0.368 oz/T gold, 6.25 oz/T silver
and 3.8% lead. The second load assayed 0.412 oz/T gold, 7.1 oz/T silver
and 4% lead.
The property is situated just east of the Enterprise Mine and west of
Timber Creek on the west side of Kokanee Glacier park. The Enterprise
Mine (owned by others) has produced at least 12,274 Tons which averaged
95 opt silver, 16.5% lead and 21.9% zinc (MINFILE 082FNW148).
Readers should note that the information on historic work performed on
the property disclosed on this release was completed prior to
implementation of National Instrument 43-101, therefore the results
spoken of do not comply with modern reporting standards and should not
be relied upon until such time as additional work is completed on the
property.
Graeme Sewell, a director of Canasia stated, "We are very excited to
begin the 2008 Summer Exploration program on our 100% optioned Jumbo
Gold Property. When you add in our 450,000 potential acres of Potash
claims, our Clone Gold Property in BC, our 92,000 acres of coal leases
under priority application and our interest in almost 200,000 acres on
land contiguous to the recently announced VMS discovery at Reed Lake,
management is very excited to be involved in these highly prospective
plays."
Richard Walker, P.Geo, the qualified person under NI 43-101 for this
project, has approved the technical content of this news release.
