TRADE WINDS FILES NI 43-101 REPORT
FOR SILU LEAD-ZINC
PROPERTY IN CHINA
Vancouver, B.C.,
September 18, 2008 - Trade Winds Ventures Inc. (TSX-V: TWD; FSE: TVR)
is pleased to announce today it has filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) an independent National
Instrument 43-101 compliant Technical Report on the Silu Lead-Zinc
Property in Guangxi, P. R. China. The report is also available on the
Company's website (www.tradewindsventures.com).
Guangxi Entercor
Mining Corp. ("GEMC"), a Joint-Venture Company between
Western China Mining Corp. (60%), a Trade Winds subsidiary, and
Wuxuan Panlong Lead & Zinc Mining Co. Ltd. (40%), a subsidiary of
Shenzhen Stock Exchange listed mining company Shenzhen Zhongjin
Linnan Nonfemet Co., Ltd., is currently preparing the drill locations
for the planned diamond drill and decline development program
scheduled to begin on the Silu property in November, 2008.
The Silu project
consists of exploration permits covering a N-S trending rectangular
area about six kilometers long in Wuxuan County, Guangxi Zhuang
Autonomous Region, P.R. China, acquired by GEMC in 2008. The Silu
property contains a potential strike length of over 6 km of the
mineralized structure also observed at our partner's nearby producing
Panlong Zn-Pb mine and 1,000 tpd mill located 6 km to the northeast. According
to the location of former artisan mining including both open-pit
mining of oxidized ore and underground mining of sulphide ore, the
Zn-Pb mineralized zone on the property is over 2 km long. Therefore,
this structure will be the focus for future exploration on the
property. On the Silu property along strike of the favourable zone
there are at least four confirmed old artisanal areas where zinc was
mined up to the year 2000.
Alex Burton of Burton Consulting Inc. ("Burton"), the
author of the technical report, reported that the exploration and
historical production results on the property to date are of
sufficient merit to recommend an exploration program including
exploration drilling and development of a decline on the first of the
four known zones of zinc mineralization along three kilometres of
strike length out of the six kilometre long outline of this
historically artisanal-mined property.
The recommended work program by Burton is subdivided into two work
phases. One phase includes defining selected diamond drill targets.
The other phase comprises the development of a decline and drift
along the structure, with several crosscuts through the mineralized
zone. The total costs for the recommended work program are estimated
at approximately $875,000.
