Tumi Intersects 35.36 m of 1.4 g/t Gold, 2,029 ppm Tungsten and 304 ppm Tin at La Gloria, Sonora, Mexico
![Tumi Intersects 35.36 m of 1.4 g/t Gold, 2,029 ppm Tungsten and 304 ppm Tin at La Gloria, Sonora, Mexico](https://www.minenportal.de/media/goldseiten-news.jpg)
Six holes were drilled, totalling 671.3 m and ranging in depth from 81.5 m to 148.65 m. All holes Intersected intervals of skarn and sulphides and terminated in marble. The most significant results are listed in the table below. These initial holes were drilled on a widespread basis to help understand the distribution of mineralization within the mapped area of the skarn zone. Holes 1 to 4 and hole 6, that was drilled at a steeper angle under hole 3, intersected the central to footwall part of the skarn and yielded patchy gold, tin and tungsten values. However, hole 5, which was collared close to the footwall part of the skarn, gave good grades. Further work needs to be undertaken in the vicinity of hole 5 to determine if the intersected mineralization continues and warrants further drilling. Detailed mapping of this potential area has commenced.
Mr. Henstridge stated: "The discovery of significant gold, tungsten and tin mineralization within hole 5 at La Gloria skarn is very encouraging and detailed mapping is underway to determine if the zone of interest is sufficiently extensive to justify a second phase of drilling."

QC Statement: All diamond drilling has been performed under the direct supervision of, and logged and split by a Company geologist. Sampling was done mostly on two metre intervals but sometimes on the basis of geological boundaries. Split samples were transported to ALS Chemex Laboratory in Hermosillo, Mexico for assay. Gold was determined by fire assay and all samples were assayed for 35 elements by ICP. For accuracy, all tin analyses were determined by XRF and hole 5 samples were re-assayed for tungsten by XRF for better accuracy. Analytical standards were routinely introduced in the sample suites sent to the laboratory.
