Messina Minerals Positive
Geophysics Results at Boomerang
Messina Minerals Inc. (MMI-TSXV) has received final results from
geophysical surveying on the Tulks South project in central Newfoundland,
Canada. Messina has set an exploration budget of $4 million from cash on
hand for continuous drilling from May to December 2008. Two drills are
expected to begin work within two weeks.
Geophysics
Results
Quantec Geophysics completed field surveying test lines in early December
2007 using the Titan 24 'Deep Earth Imaging System' (see NR November 6,
2007). A 3-line orientation survey was designed to determine the
signature of both the Boomerang (1.64 million tonne) and adjacent Domino
(0.42 million tonne) massive sulphide deposits, plus survey other
geologically anomalous areas.
The Titan survey has directly imaged both Boomerang and Domino. This is
the first time a geophysical system has successfully imaged these two
massive sulphide deposits and it has important positive implications for
future exploration.
The Titan survey has also imaged two other shallow anomalies with
"Boomerang signatures" that have a similar or greater magnitude
in comparison to the Boomerang response which are high-priority drill
targets. Six additional anomalies, including larger anomalies beneath
Boomerang and Domino, are also identified along the Boomerang horizon.
Boomerang and Domino are zinc-lead-copper-silver-gold volcanogenic
massive sulphide lenses considered to have formed as parts of one
originally larger deposit that has been fragmented. Geological evidence
suggests that other lenses could exist nearby. The Titan survey has
provided a way to prioritize and target specific areas for these lenses.
Messina has contracted Quantec Geophysics to provide Titan 24 surveying
over a broader region of the Tulks South project targeting extensions of
the Boomerang horizon and other parallel prospective trends. Quantec have
informed Messina they will mobilize geophysical crews to the Boomerang
camp on May 15th. Messina has contracted a geophysicist to be based at
the Boomerang camp to process data as it is acquired. Messina expects to
target high-priority anomalies as they are identified from the new survey
work.
Exploration
Program
Messina has budgeted $4 million from cash on hand for drilling and
geophysical surveying during 2008. The drill program will focus on testing new targets
generated by geophysics coupled with a new understanding of the
signatures of massive sulphide deposits specific to the Tulks South
project.
Drilling
Two drills are currently positioned at the Boomerang camp on the Tulks
South project. Work preparing the camp for drill crews and geophysical
crews is underway. Drilling is planned to start within the next two
weeks. A minimum of 15,000 meters of exploration drilling is expected to
be completed by year-end.
About Messina
As reported June 21, 2007, the Tulks South project hosts an NI43-101
compliant indicated mineral resource of 1,364,600 tonnes grading 7.1%
zinc, 3.0% lead, 0.5% copper, 110 g/t silver and 1.7 g/t gold plus an
additional inferred mineral resource of 689,300 tonnes grading 6.5% zinc,
2.8% lead, 0.4% copper, 95 g/t silver, and 1.0 g/t gold at the combined
Boomerang and adjacent Domino deposits (Snowden, 2007).
Messina Minerals Inc. is exploring for zinc-lead-copper-silver-gold
massive sulphide deposits in central Newfoundland in a region known
historically for its zinc resources. Messina's strategy is to discover
zinc-copper mineralization that is additive to the Company's
zinc-lead-copper-silver-gold resource base.
