INTERCEPTES BOUCHER VEIN AND CUTS 132.21 G/T OVER 51 CM
Pointe-Claire, Quebec, April 22nd,
2008 – Rocmec Mining inc. (TSX-V Symbol: RMI - FSE Symbol: D5O) is pleased to announce that it has once
again intercepted the mineralised Boucher structure (drill hole RU-03-08), this
time however, some 200
metres west of previous drill holes (click here to view sketch).
It is the eighth time
that Rocmec intercepts the structure from below surface at different elevations
ranging from 75 metres
to 430 metres.
The structure is open in both the eastern and western extensions and at depth
and the grades encountered are very favourable for Rocmec’s thermal fragmentation
mining method. Furthermore, the data gathered to date indicates that the
mineralised structure is getting increasingly closer to the work areas
currently being developed by Rocmec’s employees. Underground diamond
drilling from the 90 metre
level is ongoing and will continue for some time.
“While we are
satisfied with the development of the mine up to now, current metal prices and
geological potential of the Boucher structure bring a great deal of optimism for
subsequent events at the site” stated Mr. Donald Brisebois, President
& CEO.
About Rocmec 1 property
The Rocmec 1 property includes 11 claims totaling 84 hectares and is
located in Dasserat Township, some 35
km from two World-Class Mining Camps, the Rouyn-Noranda
Copper Gold Camp to the SE in Quebec, and the Kirkland Lake
/ Larder Lake Gold Camp to the SW in Ontario.
The
gold mineralization at the Rocmec 1 property is linked to east-northeast,
centimetric and metric wide quartz veins, dipping moderately to steeply to the
south, within a kilometric long by 600 meter wide gabbro to granodiorite intrusive
host. There are at least six major vein systems identified on the property. The
veins are part of diverging and converging, or anastomosing, fracture system
than includes shearing, alteration (silica, chlorite, sericite, epidote and
carbonate) and 2 to 10% disseminated and vein-type pyrite that can attain
overall widths in excess of 30
metres.
