These
results are similar in grade to 855, 1.5 meter channel samples previously taken
in the mine
workings which
assayed an averaged of
19.26% Zinc with 151 grams / tonne Germanium using a 5% Zinc equivalent cut-off
grade. The
underground drill program is continuing and is currently drilling on the
4th level and is expected to move to the 6.5 level in
March.
As
previously mentioned in the company's progress report of February 07, the
underground drilling program will also include several core holes to be drilled
below the 6.5 level where 138 channels samples averaged 339 grams/tonne
germanium and 22.17% zinc which is higher grade than assays received from the
levels above.
The
surface Diamond drill program which is designed to test several of the many
known anomalies elsewhere on the Tres Marias Property has been underway for
several days. This will include the drill testing of the La Blanca anomaly
located some 800 meters (2,625 feet) to the south east of the Tres Marias Mine
which has samples assaying up to 29% zinc and 98 grams/tonne
germanium.
Further
assay results will be reported as they are received from our lab, Copperstate
Analytical Laboratory in Tucson, Arizona.
The Tres
Marias Project is under the direction of Mr.Terence Schorn, P.Geo., a qualified
person pursuant to the National Instrument 43-101.
War
Eagle Mining would also like to announce the final payment of $100,000 has been
