Pasto Bueno: Drilling Reveals New Tungsten Mineralized Zones

Montr�al, Qu�bec, November 13, 2007 - Malaga Inc. (TSX: MLG) is pleased to report that recent drilling data from its Pasto Bueno property confirms the presence of new tungsten (WO3) mineralized zones. According to Alonso Sanchez, Malaga's chief geologist "these results are very encouraging since they support the idea that most of the tungsten mineralization at Pasto Bueno is to be found within the intrusive body itself."

He further states that the findings are particularly significant since: 1) the data suggests that mineralization extends from the currently exploited Huaura zone right across a north-south 1,100 meters transect, to the previously mined Maria Ofelia zone, located on the other side of the mountain; and 2) the data shows that WO3 mineralized structures extend from the peripheral zones right into the core of the intrusive body. This result had never been demonstrated before and is very important since previously it was thought that tungsten-mineralized zones at Pasto Bueno were only located at the lithological contact zone - the interface between the intrusive body and the overlying rock.

Current tungsten mining and processing operations at Pasto Bueno are located in the Huaura zone and the main vein that is being mined is the Consuelo vein. Current mining operations at Pasto Bueno were restarted in October 2006. 

Drilling Results
The 2007 drilling campaign at Pasto Bueno began in May 2007 and 4 holes have been completed representing a total length of 1,733 meters. The primary objective of the 2007 drilling campaign was to investigate possible extensions of the known areas of tungsten mineralization: a) in the Pt-2 area located between the Huaura zone and Maria Ofelia sector located 1,100 meters to the south on the other side of the mountain; and b) to demonstrate that WO3 mineralized structures extend from the periphery right into the core of the intrusive body.

Hole HHD1
The first drill hole was laid approximately 600 meters south of the current Huaura mining operation site. The drill pad was located at a height that is equivalent to the Level 9 shaft at Huaura, and is 500 meters north of the Maria Ofelia zone.

The hole was drilled to a depth of 400.05 meters. It crossed a first vein, thought to be an extension of the main Consuelo vein, at a depth of 230.1 meters. This intersection measured 1.63 meters with an average grade of 3.12% WO3 over 1.24 meters. The second intersection occurred at a depth of 271.75 meters, where it crossed the Consuelo Vein over 5.23 meters with an average grade of 0.43 % WO3 over 1.38 meters.

Hole HHD2
This second drill hole was laid 850 meters south of Huaura and 250 meters north of the Maria Ofelia zone. The drilling pad was located at a height equivalent to Huaura Level 11.

The total length of this drill hole was 364.15 meters. The first intersection occurred at a depth of 203.38 meters crossing the Consuelo Vein over 1.17 meters with an average grade of 0.11% WO3.

A second intersect occurred at a depth of 324.85 meters, where a secondary vein named "Consuelo Piso" was encountered with an average grade of 0.14% WO3 over 1.60 meters.

Hole HHD3
This third hole (277.7 meters long) was drilled below the former mining zone of Maria Ofelia.

The first intersection occurred at a depth of 169.95 meters where it crossed the Consuelo Piso vein, and contained 0.01% WO3 over 1.25 meters. A second intersect occurred at a depth of 196.42 meters crossing the Consuelo vein which is also referred to as the Maria Ofelia vein in this zone. The intersect had a average grade of 0.03% WO3 over 1.58 meters.

Hole HHD4
The fourth drill hole (691.7 meters long) was laid 600 meters south of Huaura and 500 north of the Maria Ofelia zone.

Once again, the Consuelo Vein was intersected at a depth of 460.45 meters with a width of 1.73 meters. An average grade of 0.80% WO3 over 1.50 meters was found within this intersect.

In conclusion, the above drilling results confirm that tungsten mineralization:

  • Extends from the currently exploited Huaura zone right across the north-south transect to the previously mined Maria Ofelia zone.
  • Is found deep within the intrusive body and not only in the surface areas as was previously thought. This would suggest that significant tungsten   mineralization at Pasto Bueno is present in the mineralized structures found within the intrusive body itself.

Furthermore, it should be underlined that with respect to the drilling data at Pasto Bueno, it is important to bear in mind that the mineralized structures are quite erratic (for instance WO3-rich zones adjacent to WO3-depleted zones and pinch and swell structures and lenses are commonly encountered). Exact quantification of WO3 resources by drilling alone is therefore quite difficult and exploratory excavation work is also necessary.

Malaga also wishes to report on new exploratory excavation work at the Pasto Bueno mine site, in the Huaura sector, located some 600 meters north from the drilling campaign area. The work consists of excavating new underground drifts, access crosscuts and vertical chimneys in order to further the exploration of levels 11 and 12 of the mine which are located within the intrusive body. A series of 57 samples were taken from three tungsten-bearing veins (Consuelo, Alonso and Maria Luisa) that were intersected in various points by the newly excavated areas. These tungsten-bearing zones can be readily visually identified on the walls of the newly excavated underground accesses. Tungsten grades ranged from 0.45% to 8.02% WO3 and the average grade for all 57 samples was 2.15%. Since all of the samples were taken from within the intrusive body this study clearly demonstrates that WO3 mineralization occurs within the intrusive rock, which opens new potential for mineralization.

The current drilling campaign is ongoing and further drill results will be announced by way of press release, as soon as available.

All chemical analyses were done by ALS CHEMEX laboratories in Lima and samples for tungsten was analysed by the ME-XRF-10 method.
