LIBERTY LAKE, WASHINGTON--(Marketwired - Sep 17, 2014) - Hunt Mining Corp. (the "Corporation" or "Hunt") (TSX VENTURE:HMX) is pleased to announce drill core assay results for two separate targets drilled in the 2014 campaign on the La Josefina Project located in Santa Cruz, Argentina. Hunt conducted a shallow Diamond drilling campaign, not more than 50 meters in depth, including 12 holes totaling 651 meters in length completed on the Maria Belen target and 15 holes totaling 957 meters were drilled on the Sinter target.
The results of this latest drilling continue to confirm high-grade gold mineralization and will be instrumental in the Corporation's ongoing resource expansion efforts and near-term development decisions.
At the Sinter target, all 15 drill holes intersected mineralization. More than half the drill holes intersected one or more intervals containing more than 1.0 g/t Au over true widths ranging from 2.0 to 6.8 meters. Select assay results from the Sinter target include:
Hole # SSI-D14-472:
- 6.8 meters (22.8 feet) true width of 4.28 (grams/tonne) g/t gold, including:
- 0.8 meters true width of 20.6 g/t gold
Hole # SSI-D14-463:
- 2.0 meters true width of 14.9 g/t gold
Hole # SSI-D14-469:
- 2.4 meters true width of 4.8 g/t gold, including:
- 1.3 meters true width of 8.38 g/t gold
Significant mineralized intercepts in those holes not cited above (SSI-D14-458 through 471) include grades ranging from 0.3 to 4.1 g/t Au. A table with all 2014 Sinter drill results can be viewed at www.huntmining.com
At the Maria Belen target, 11 of the 12 drill holes intersected mineralization. Five of these holes intersected one or two intervals containing more than 1.0 g/t Au over true widths ranging from 1.4 to 9.5 meters. Select assay results from the Maria Belen target include:
Hole # SC-D14-448:
- 4.6 meters (15.1 feet) true width of 6.1 (grams/tonne) g/t gold, including:
- 0.8 meters true width of 43.5 g/t gold
Hole # SC-D14-450:
- 3.8 meters true width of 4.3 g/t gold, including:
- 1.4 meters true width of 11.5 g/t gold
Hole # SC-D14-447:
- 1.6 meters true width of 5.4 g/t gold
Hole # SC-D14-453:
- 1.6 meters true width of 7.7 g/t gold, including:
- 1.0 meters true width of 11.6 g/t gold
Mineralization intersected in those holes not cited above (SC-D14-446 through 457) includes gold grades ranging from 0.2 to 4.2 g/t Au. A table with all 2014 Maria Belen drill results can be viewed at www.huntmining.com.
Notes:
- True widths reported above are estimated at 100% of intercept widths based on surface sampling, flat lying stratigraphic control of mineralization, vertical orientation of drill holes, and cross-section comparisons.
- All drilling has been conducted in accordance with standard industry practices.
- All samples were prepared and assayed by Alex Stewart Laboratories in Mendoza, Argentina.
- An analysis of the Corporation's QA/QC practices are reviewed in detail in the Corporation's current Technical Report in respect of the La Josefina Project, which is available at www.sedar.com

Forward-looking information can often be identified by the use of words such as 'anticipate', 'believe', 'expect', 'goal', 'plan', 'intend', 'estimate', 'may' and 'will' or similar words suggesting future outcomes or other expectations including with respect to the drilling program on the Corporation's La Josefina and La Valenciana Projects and the interpretation of exploration results received to date. Such forward-looking information is based on assumptions and current expectations that involve a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking information. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from any forward-looking information include, but are not limited to, failure to establish estimated resources, the grade and recovery of ore which is mined varying from estimates, capital and operating costs varying significantly from estimates, delays in obtaining or failures to obtain required governmental, environmental or other project approvals, inflation, changes in exchange rates, fluctuations in commodity prices, delays in the development of projects, uncertainties relating to the interpretation of the geology, continuity, grade and size estimates of mineral resources and unanticipated operational or technical difficulties and other factors. Such forward-looking information is based on a number of assumptions, including but not limited to, the availability of financing, no significant decline in existing general business and economic conditions, the level and volatility of the price of gold, the accuracy of the Corporation's resource estimates and of the geological, metallurgical, price and other assumptions on which the estimates are based. Should one or more risks and uncertainties materialize or should any assumptions prove incorrect, then actual results could vary materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking information and accordingly, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this forward-looking information.
