Tyler Drills New High Grade Discovery in Mexico, Including 12.6 Meters Grading
8.4% Zinc
|
CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - Nov. 14, 2007) - Tyler Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TYS) ("Tyler" or the "Company") today announced initial drill results from the Cerro Prieto area, a new, near-surface high-grade polymetallic discovery approximately 5 kilometres away from the Main Zone at Tyler's 100% owned Bahuerachi project, Mexico.
Jean-Pierre Jutras, President, CEO and a director of Tyler, said, "This new discovery supports Tyler's long-held view that strong potential exists to expand the resource base and discover additional mineral deposits in this previously unexplored district. Today's announcement underscores our position that the hostile bid for Tyler by Mercator Minerals Ltd. significantly undervalues Tyler. Shareholders should reject Mercator's attempt to acquire Tyler as the full value of the Bahuerachi project will grow with success as we advance closer to feasibility, development and production and continue testing the district."
Tyler completed seven reverse-circulation ("RC") drill holes to test strongly mineralized outcrops exposed at surface during mechanized trenching earlier in the year. All of the holes are in the Cerro Prieto area but only two are called Cerro Prieto holes. The other five, called Silica Hill holes, are 350 metres from the Cerro Prieto holes along a continuous limestone/marble band. General locations of drill holes are shown on the attached property plan map. (http://www.ccnmatthews.com/docs/1114tys.pdf)
The Company is now planning a 20 to 30 hole follow-up drill program for Cerro Prieto, to expand the new discovery and begin delineating a new high-grade near-surface resource base. Tyler expects this program to begin in early 2008, as soon as the required ongoing geotechnical, metallurgical and resource expansion drilling programs can be completed on the Main Zone.
This initial drilling at Cerro Prieto confirms that district scale targets can deliver substantial discoveries in the form of near-surface, high grade mineralized zones with excellent size and expansion potential. Based on the outcome of further drilling, these targets may provide potential mill feed to a Main Zone milling complex as outlined in the November 2007 Scoping Study, or as additional stand-alone deposits.

- (1) As per the current understanding of the mineralized zone, all drill
holes are expected to represent 70-90% true widths except RC-94 where
true width is expected to be around 60% of the intervals. The drilling confirms that mineralization in the Cerro Prieto area occurs over a widespread area at the base of extensive limestone/marble units, and in close proximity to a large, coarse grained series of intrusive bodies. Tyler's interpretation is that the marble/limestone unit that is mineralized at Cerro Prieto is the same unit which hosts high-grade skarns at the Main Zone.
Tyler is now conducting additional surface mapping and sampling at Cerro Prieto to better define the distribution of the limestones and marbles within a roughly 2 kilometre by 1 kilometre area to outline the extent of the target units for the upcoming follow-up drill program. Of note is the strong potential to discover additional mineralization below surface in this area, such as the 12.6 metres grading 8.5% Zinc in RC-90 which did not correspond to a known surface outcrop and represents a blind mineralized skarn.
Tyler notes that due to the highly fractured and altered nature of the mineralized zones, and the use of reverse circulation drilling, there are numerous areas within the skarn and mineralized rocks in which sufficient sample could not be recovered to create a representative sample for assay. These intervals of poor-to-no-recovery are noted in the table above, and indicate clear potential for wider zones of mineralization to be delineated by core drilling. In the Main Zone core drilling has a much better track record for recovering mineralized skarn zones than RC drilling, and the Company expects that there is room to increase both recoveries and overall width of the mineralized zones at the Cerro Prieto targets with the use of core rigs. The follow up drill program being planned for Cerro Prieto will consist of core drilling.
Reject the hostile Mercator bid for Tyler
Tyler's Board of Directors, based on the advice and recommendations of its Special Committee of independent directors, continues to unanimously recommend that Tyler shareholders REJECT the Mercator unsolicited takeover bid and NOT tender their shares to the offer.
