Skeena Contracts Airborne Survey over Malpica Copper-Gold
Project, Mexico
======================================================================
Skeena Resources Limited (TSX.V: SKE) is pleased to announce that Fugro
Airborne Surveys Corp. have been contracted to undertake a
helicopter-borne, multi-frequency Dighem electromagnetic and magnetic
survey over its optioned Malpica copper-gold project in Sinaloa State,
Mexico.
This 7,718-hectare property, located 40 km east of the deep water port
of Mazatlan and 20 km east of the Mazatlan international airport, is
well situated with respect to infrastructure, being crossed by a paved
highway and by a major hydro line and situated within one kilometre of
a rail line. A detailed program of historic data compilation, grid
emplacement, soil geochemical sampling and geologic mapping commenced
in July and is scheduled for completion in mid-December. A minimum
5,000-metre diamond drill program has been contracted and is scheduled
to commence in early January. This will be directed at verification and
expansion of the non-National Instrument 43-101 resource at the Cerro
Pelon and Cerro Tunel tourmaline breccia hosted copper-gold zones
(refer to news release May 8, 2007) and at exploration of new targets
in the vicinity of the historic deposits. Concurrently, a machine
trenching program will be directed at investigating the peripheral soil
geochemical anomalies in order to better define drilling targets.
The Company is well financed for the current program, the drilling, and
a proposed Scoping Study to be undertaken in the second quarter of
2008.
The Qualified Person, as defined by National Instrument 43-101,
responsible for review of this news release is Rupert Allan, P. Geol.,
the Company's president and CEO.
