DRILLING COMMENCES AT RIO GRANDE
A 5,000-metre drill program conducted by Mansfield Minerals Inc.'s joint venture partner, Antares Minerals Inc., has commenced at the Rio Grande copper-gold porphyry project in northwestern Argentina. The program will consist of 15 to 20 drill holes and will focus on the extension of near-surface copper-gold mineralization previously defined in the Discovery and Sofia zones, and deeper drilling to test for a large porphyry copper-gold system in the Central zone.
Previous drilling and trenching on the property have delineated a zone with dimensions of 1,450 metres long by an average of 130 metres wide between the Sophia zone and the Discovery zone. The grades to date average 0.33 per cent Cu and 0.35 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (Au), including dilution. Highlights within this zone are 108 metres of 0.57 per cent Cu and 0.92 g/t Au in trench (T-28) and 86 m of 0.45 per cent Cu and 0.66 g/t Au in drill hole RGA-12 (see news release in Stockwatch dated March 31, 2005).
