Trueclaim Exploration Inc. announced that it is in the final stages of permitting for a drill program on its Richmond Basin Property near Globe, Arizona. Significant copper, gold and silver mineralization on this property was initially reported. As a result of sampling, Trueclaim has expanded the property with further claim staking. The 8,200ft (2,500m) Phase I Drill Program will test the mineralization in the Black Copper Zone and other areas of the property. The Black Copper Zone is located in the southwestern portion of the Richmond Basin property and is associated with numerous historical workings having little previous documentation. This copper-gold vein replacement mineralization is hosted in a magnetite rich matrix and has produced assay results up to 7.45% Cu and 2.87g/t Au. This style of mineralization has now been observed over a strike length of approximately 420ft (128m). The total extent remains undefined due to overburden. Listed below are some of the significant assays received from selected grab samples from the Black Copper Zone. An upcoming ground magnetic survey will help Trueclaim highlight significant gold-copper mineralization as it is associated with magnetite. The information acquired from this survey will help determine the extent of mineralized areas and focus drill targeting. Work in the area of the McMorris Vein, as reported previously, showed significant mineralization of 6.8oz/t (213g/t) Ag over 195ft (59.4m). Fifty three samples taken within a distance of 300 metres of the vein assayed over 3.2oz/t (100g/t) Ag. The Helena Mine area and the Buckeye Vein Zone have also recently been examined and samples are currently at the assay lab.
