Huldra Silver Inc. Exploration and Development Update and Announcement of Warrant Exercise
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/24/10 -- Huldra Silver Inc. (the 'Company' or 'Huldra Silver') (TSX VENTURE: HDA) is Pleased to Give an Update on Current Exploration and Development Work at Treasure Mountain.
-- Target Drilling Inc. of Kamloops, BC has completed 11 of 13 planned HQ
core holes on the east zone of the Treasure Mountain property, 800
metres east of the main mine, to test, at shallow depth beneath the
surface exposures, for a near surface deposit that may be amenable to a
small 'open pit' operation as part of a permitted 10,000 tonne bulk
sample. This work is a follow up on rock chip samples taken as part of a
trenching program in August. (See news release dated August 25, 2010
'HULDRA SILVER INC. SAMPLES UP TO 9221g/t Ag or 268.91 oz/t Ag AT
TREASURE MOUNTAIN').
-- Eleven additional rock chip samples were taken on September 12, 2010 by
independent Qualified Person, Erik Ostensoe, P.Geo. These samples were
taken approximately 190m and 270m east of the current drill area and
submitted to the Eco Tech Laboratory in Kamloops, B.C., a full service,
ISO 9001:2008 accredited, analytical laboratory for analysis. The
Company is planning on drill testing this area as part of its current
campaign after completing the drill work on the east zone.
-- Portal reconstruction and a vent raise have been completed on Level 1 of
the main mine area, where an NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate in
2009 reported a total vein indicated resource, using a 10oz/tonne Ag
cut-off, of 33,000 tonnes grading 26.68oz/tonne Ag, 4.16%Pb, and 3.8% Zn
and a total vein inferred resource, using a 10oz/tonne Ag cut-off, of
120,000 tonnes grading 29.76oz/tonne Ag, 2.79%Pb, and 4.36% Zn. An
underground inspection has been conducted and we will use this
information to implement our mine planning and design.
-- Most of the background environmental monitoring for this year has been
completed, with the exception of the final two months of water testing,
in preparation for re-submitting an application for a full mining permit
in early 2011. All of the work is being conducted in consultation with
the British Columbia Ministries of Mines and the Environment.
