Lomiko Adds another 3,684 Ha to Vines Lake Property
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 08/03/11 -- LOMIKO METALS INC. (TSX VENTURE: LMR)(PINK SHEETS: LMRMF)(Europe: ISIN: CA54163Q1028, WKN: A0Q9W7) ('Lomiko' or 'the Company) has staked an additional 3,684 Ha directly south of the Vines Lake claims. Lomiko now holds the rights to mineral tenures totaling 5,267 Ha located in the southwestern corner of the Cassiar District or 'Cassiar Camp'.
Due to the property's close proximity to formerly producing mines with a proven history in the Cassiar Mining Camp, it is the opinion of the Company that potential exists on the 100% owned Vines Lake Property for discovering new high-grade gold vein systems. Also, there is a potential for other intrusion related mineralization in proximity to the Cassiar Batholith and its associated boundary contacts, over which Lomiko's Vines Lake property claims are located.
Cassiar Area Highlights:
-- A new company with Chinese investors known as China Minerals Mining
Corporation is located adjacent to the property.
-- A fully permitted 270 tonne per day, gravity and flotation mill, power
plant, assay laboratory and tailings impoundment facility is owned by
China Minerals.
-- Approximately 316,000 ounces of gold have been produced at the adjacent
Table Mountain Mine from 1979-2007 under various companies.
-- Current Resource Estimates for the Table Mountain Mine are 21,471 tonnes
grading 18.02 g/t indicated and 65,757 tonnes grading 24.3 g/t inferred
were reported at the adjacent property in the May, 2010 NI43-101
Technical Report on the Table Mountain Property by C. Pearson and F.J.
Bakker.
Vines Lake Highlights:
-- Two significant anomalies have been identified by geophysical surveys.
The claims cover formations of the Sylvester group, which are known to
contain productive zones of gold mineralization in the area.
-- The Vines Lake Property is located approximately two kilometres
southwest of the former Erickson gold mine.
-- Highway 37 N bisects the property north to south providing excellent
year-round access.
