Linear Metals’ President, Brian MacEachen commented “We expect that the TSX listing will provide increased liquidity in Linear Metals’ shares and attract a larger institutional following as the Company aggressively advances the Cobre Grande and KM61 copper-molybdenum discoveries located in Mexico and Ontario, respectively. We are committed to increasing shareholder value through the execution of our very aggressive 2008 work program.”

Linear Metals is also pleased to announce that drilling is set to begin at its Ecatepec Project located 120 kilometres southwest of Oaxaca City, Oaxaca. The Ecatepec Property covers the contact of a granodiorite stock with Cretacous-aged limestones and shales.  Polymetallic mineralization occurs in skarns replacing limestone along the intrusive contact and in mantos formed along limestone-shale contacts. The project area was mapped, soil sampled, and surveyed with 20 line kilometers of IP in 2007. 

The main anomaly, to be tested during the nine-hole 1,000 metre reverse circulation drill program, is 700 metres long north-south and 600 metres wide. Zinc is the most anomalous metal across this target area with values between 0.02% and 0.30%. Copper and silver are also strongly anomalous (to 0.39% and 30 grams per tonne respectively) only not as continuously as zinc. The composite IP anomaly (made up of more than one chargeable body) appears to have a shallow source with the deepest holes projected to go to only 200 metres. 

The Ecatepec Project is comprised of two claims, La Valencia and La Valencia Dos, which together total 500 hectares. La Valencia is held under a five-year option agreement signed in October 2006 with the community of Santa Maria de Ecatepec. Total payments over the life of the option are US$1,260,000 with the community retaining a 1.8% NSR. La Valencia Dos is held under a second option, also with the community of Santa Maria de Ecatepec, but signed a year later in October 2007. The payment totals for La Valencia Dos are US$1,265,000 over a four-year period with the community retaining a 2% NSR. Additionally, Linear Metals has a surface use agreement with Santa Maria de Ecatepec which calls for monthly payments, made towards scholarships and support of the elderly, totaling US$4,000 per month.
