Lucky Minerals Inc. announced it has received the balance of assays from the initial prospecting at Wayka, a gold bearing epithermal system. In addition, assay results from 16 samples were received from the Sherman area. All this activity is focused within its 100% owned Fortuna Property. Fortuna comprises approximately 55,000 hectares in a known mineralized district in southern Ecuador. Lucky's exploration team has continued with geological mapping and sampling at Wayka. Recently a total of 15 rock sample assays were received from ALS Chemex Labs. This batch of samples represents the balance from a larger group of samples which included 12 samples previously sent as "rush" to ALS Chemex. Geological mapping and sampling continues at Wayka and there are strong indications that the alteration and mineralization footprint is expanding. In addition, exploration teams are conducting field work in the southern area and samples have been sent to ALS Chemex for analysis. Exploration teams are focused on gathering samples to further understanding and expand the known footprint of the mineralized system. Samples are being submitted approximately every two weeks to ALS Chemex laboratories in Quito for prep work, and the analytical work will be completed at their lab facility in Lima, Peru. ALS Chemex is an ISO certified and accredited laboratory. Results will be released as they are received. Present work is focused on surface exploration which includes sampling and mapping. This will be followed by trenching leading to scout drilling. Teraspec analysis is being conducted on samples and should provide the basis for alteration mapping which in turn will be utilized to identify potential feeder zones. Lucky's exploration team continued follow-up geological work at Sherman. A total of 16 rocksample assays have been received from ALS Chemex Labs. Sample result highlights at Sherman include 2.19 g/t and 1.98 g/t gold. These samples were taken within a zone of Sherman now known as "Macuche" in which a sample 261057 taken last year returned 1.66 g/t gold and sample 261058 returned 0.487 g/t gold respectively. Fieldwork in Macuche has identified an area of mineralization of approximately 30 m by 30 m and sampling has confirmed potential for a bulk mining target. As this is an area at an early exploration stage, geological work will continue to better identify the extent of this mineralized area. Prospecting work will include geological mapping to determine rock and alteration types. At this time, mineralization has been observed to be related to silica-pyrite stockwork type veinlets in a strongly altered (sericitic) rock. Present work at El Garo continues. El Garo is a large epithermal system with outcrops of dacite and vuggy silica. This system is less than 8 km north of Wayka. Due to a lack of outcrop, a soil sampling program was initiated last year and is in the process of being completed. Results from this program will be combined with trenching. A drilling program continues to be planned for El Garo.
