Andover Mining Corp. reported the discovery of a second new copper, lead, zinc, silver and gold rich massive sulfide system in the SUN District in the Ambler Mineral Belt, northwest Alaska. Assays have been received from drill hole SAL12-01, which targeted outcropping mineralization that was mapped and sampled by Andover's field team during this year's reconnaissance efforts at the SUN District.

The STU and SAL targets are two of six new potential targets identified during the 2012 drill program. The SAL target area is located approximately 8.5 kilometers west of the Main SUN and S.W. SUN Deposits and over 0.5 kilometers from the recently announced STU discovery. Drill hole SAL12-01 was completed on August 20, 2012.

It is not known how the STU and SAL discoveries may relate to each other. They both occur in areas of limited outcrop exposure. No follow-up drilling was done at SAL during 2012.

The 2012 drill core was logged, split and boxed on site by Andover's geologists. The core from SAL was shipped to the ALS-Chemex Prep Lab in Fairbanks, Alaska. The pulps from Fairbanks were analyzed for 35 elements at the ALS-Chemex facilities in Vancouver, British Columbia and the gold assays were performed at ALS-Chemex facilities in Reno, Nevada.

Base metal over- limits were wet assayed. Blanks and standards were inserted with each sample shipment.
