Prime Mining Corp. announced that results from new trenches and road cuts in the Company’s ongoing surface exploration program show mineralized areas carrying good grades over significant widths in an area outside the historical resource of Zapote North and South. These initial results support Prime’s belief that Zapote North and South, the two largest known deposits at Los Reyes, can potentially be joined into one large body, ultimately adding additional tonnes and minable ounces to the resource model. Importantly, the latest discovery occurs at an initial access point to the deposits and, provided mineralization proves consistent at depth, will likely result in this area becoming the starting point for planned open-pit development. The sampling program is providing valuable information in determining the surface expression of mineralized structures, planning pit locations and in establishing where structures remain open to expansion. Evidence at Zapote Central suggests mineralization is continuous between the north and south deposits and that erosion has displaced the surface expression down slope. Historic drilling in the area was too shallow or did not take into consideration the dip of the structure. One historic drill hole appears to have drilled through the central zone returning insignificant grades through the structure. Samples from the north end of the historic proposed Zapote South Pit returned some of the highest grades from surface samples on the property so far. The sampling program continues to provide valuable information for planning exploration and future mining. To date, 1981 trench, road-cut and underground samples have been collected of a planned 3500 samples. Results for 1002 samples have been received and interpreted. Assay results range from below detection to 33.6 gpt gold and 170.3 gpt silver. True mineralized widths have not been determined from the surface sampling. Additional samples results are expected to be released shortly. Prime is evaluating doubling the sampling program from 5,000 metres to 10,000 given the success of the program so far and the new mineralized areas discovered. Site preparation continues with D6 dozers opening an established network of roads and trails and sampling crews working to complete a systematic 5,000 metre surface trenching and road cut sampling program on outcropping mineralized structures. A surface sampling program of this magnitude has never been completed on the Los Reyes project.
