White Tiger Mining Drills 7 Metres of 2.5% Copper, 8.9 Grams/Tonne Silver and 0.067 Grams/Tonne Gold at its Marshall Lake Property, Ontario
To date, all of the Company's drill holes within the RM Zone South have intersected copper, silver and gold over significant intercepts with the one exception of drill hole RMZ 11-20 which intersected no significant mineralization.
Drill hole RMZ 11-28 (which is the furthest hole to date along the geological trend to the northwest) intercepted near surface a significant 7 metres of 2.5% copper, 8.9 grams/tonne silver and 0.067 grams/tonne gold. The RM Zone South remains open to the northwest and, based on the assay results for drill hole RMZ 11-28, the Company believes that the grades are significantly improving in that direction.
The assay results for drill hole RMZ 11-22, 11-26, 11-27 and 11-28 are as follows:
Hole Number From (m) To (m) Width (m) Cu (%) Ag (g/t) Au (g/t)
RMZ 11-22 6 17 11 0.70 1.8 0.014
RMZ 11-26 58 71 13 0.20 0.9 0.005
and 80 96 16 0.43 0.7 0.008
RMZ 11-27 109 113 4 0.57 1.6 0.024
RMZ 11-28 28 65 37 0.69 2.4 0.016
including 28 35 7 2.50 8.9 0.067
including 28 30 2 3.38 11.8 0.148
and 32 34 2 4.00 14.7 0.064
and 76 89 13 0.32 1.0 0.005
The true width of the mineralized zones is estimated to be 66% of the mineralized intersections.
The Marshall Lake Property is a copper, silver and gold exploration project located 30 km west of Nakina, Ontario and is accessible via a good all weather gravel road from Hwy 11 and is 22 km north of the main CNR rail line.
Drill core was split at the Marshall Lake property and sample preparation was done by ALS Chemex in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Pulp samples (<75 microns) were then sent by secure courier to ALS Chemex in North Vancouver, British Columbia and analyzed by ICP spectrometer ("ICP") using a 0.5g representative pulp dissolved in Aqua Regia (3 acid) digestion. All samples grading over 1.0% copper were re-assayed with ore grade ICP and Aqua Regia digestion. Gold analysis was done on a 30 gram sample by fire assay extraction with AA ("Atomic Absorption") finish.
White Tiger has the option to earn a 50% interest in the Marshall Lake project from Rainy Mountain Royalty Corp. ("Rainy Mountain") (TSX VENTURE:RMO) and Marshall Lake Mining PLC ("MLM") by spending $4 million in exploration expenditures over 5 years and issuing 2 million shares over 4 years to Rainy Mountain. As well, White Tiger has the additional option to increase its interest to 75% by incurring such additional expenditures as are necessary to take the project to bankable feasibility stage.
This news release has been reviewed and approved by Rick Walker P.Geo., who is acting as the Company's Qualified Person for the Marshall Lake property project, in accordance with regulations under NI 43-101.
