MILLSTREAM EXPOSES GOLDZONEEXTENSION AT TAMARACK
Toronto, Ontario -Millstream Mines Ltd. (MLM-TSX-V; NJD - Frankfurt) is pleased to announce that it is currently processing (milling) ore derived from a gold zone situated in close proximity to the underground ramp portal at its Tamarack Gold Property (a picture can be viewed at the link: http://www.millstreammines.com/Adit,new.JPG). The gold zone previously exposed in the north wall of the excavated open-cut for the underground ramp has been located off the north wall 20+ feet down the ramp beyond the portal. As reported in a company press release dated November 26th, 2007, “the exposed zone is apparently dipping north east, striking east-west and measures approximately 4 ft. or 1.2 m in width from its top to bottom and approximately at least 100 ft. or 30.48 m in exposed length. A channel sample taken over its width of 4 ft. (1.2 m) returned .928 ounces per ton (opt.) or 28.8 grams per ton (g/t) Gold and 3..04 opt. or 94.2 g/t Silver.”
Approximately 20 tons have been processed from this gold zone producing a gravity and a flotation concentrate at its Tamarack Gold Property mill site.. Management is presently awaiting assay results and percentages of recovery from this operation. Of significance is the fact that this gold zone is located within one of the six (6) identified targets from the company’s previous ground GPS magnetic survey (PR May 11, 2008)
