BIG MISSOURI ADDS MORE TO SILVER COIN
Stewart, BC Pinnacle Mines Ltd. and Mountain Boy Minerals Ltd. announce that more assays have been received from the 2007 drilling on the jointly owned Silver Coin gold-silver-base metal property located approximately 24 kilometers north of Stewart, British Columbia in the Skeena Mining Division.
Due to large snowfall, the 2007 drill program on Silver Coin was shut down after completing 15 of 29 planned holes. The remaining 14 holes are scheduled to be completed next year. All core samples from the 2007 program are now at the lab and the remaining assay results are expected to be ready in the next 4 weeks.
The latest assays received are from holes 209 to 213. The highlights of the latest results are presented in the table below. Hole 210 did not record any significant gold values and for hole 213 only 40% of the assays have been received so far.
