DRILLING RECOMMENCES AT SILVER COIN
Vancouver, B.C. - Pinnacle Mines Ltd and Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd are pleased to announce the recommencement of drilling on the Silver Coin property near Stewart, BC.
A total of 24 to 30 holes are planned for about 4000 meters of drilling. This exploration work will be carried out on the Big Missouri, Packers and Silver Coin 2 claims which are owned 51% by Pinnacle and 49% by Mountain Boy Minerals. The drilling, to be carried out over the next two months, is planned to fill in and expand on previous work. The mineralization appears to go from depth to surface in many parts of these claims. Once this program has been carried out and assays have been received a new resource calculation will be completed.
Drilling will be conducted in the area of DDH-2005-52 which yielded 118.65 meters of 5.39 g/t Au, 32.76 g/t Ag, 0.014 % Cu, 0.16 % Pb and 0.34 % Zn including 15.25 meters of 34.05 grams/tonne gold.
