[{"type":"text","content":"\nVela Minerals Initiates Work Program at Mavis Bank\n\n(via Thenewswire.ca)\n \n \n Vancouver, BC Canada, April 4, 2013 - Vela Minerals Ltd. (TSX-V: VLA) (the \"Company\")is pleased to announce that crews have been mobilized and ground work has begun on the 63 square kilometre Mavis Bank Concession in Jamaica. \n\n\n \nThe exploration program will consist of geological mapping and soil and rock sampling over the Epping-Whitfield, and Mavis Bank Occurrencesin conjunction with a property wide stream sampling-prospecting programme. \n\n\n \nEpping-Whitfield Cu-Au-Ag Occurrences \n\n\n \nThis group of mineral occurrences covers approximately 1 X 2 kilometres (elongated north-south) and are hosted in the Upper Cretaceous Blue Mountain and Main Ridge Group of sedimentary, volcanic, and ultramafic rocks. Historical IP geophysics from the Epping-Whitfield areas defined two broad >250 meter wide high-chargeability and coincident low resistivity anomalies. \n\n\n \nHistoric soil sampling performed in the Epping-Whitfield areas outlined 3 areas of multi-element Cu-Au-Ag-As-Co-Zn-Pb-Ba-Mn geochemical anomalies. The 3 soil anomalies are approximately 100-200 meters wide, and are 400-800 meters long. The 2 multi-element soil anomalies in the Epping Farm area are flanked to the east (about 50-200 meters distance) by a north-south trending nickel-chromium in soil anomaly, and approximately 250 meters further east, exists a lead-zinc-barium soil anomaly. \n\n\n \nAlteration minerals present in the Epping-Whitfieldareas include secondary chlorite, calcite, quartz, ankerite, talc, pyrolusite, and sericite. The alteration minerals occur in variable amounts and are associated with mineralization that includes chalcopyrite, pyrite, pyrrhotite, bornite, chalcocite, malachite, and chalcocite. \n\n\n \nMavis Bank Cu-Au-Ag-Fe-Co Occurrences \n\n\n \nThe Mavis Bank Area of mineral occurrences includes the Boxshaw Hill-Water Tank Zone, Orchard Spring Zone, Tunbridge-Orchard Hill Zone, and Dublin Castle Zone \n\n\n \nThe Boxshaw Hill-Water Tank Zone: includes magnetite, pyrite, specularite, azurite, bornite, chalcopyrite, and malachite occurring in a 400 x 800 meter area. A total of 446 meters of diamond drilling intersected variable chalcopyrite with highlights that include 0.61 meters at 4.31% Cu. \n\n\n \nOrchard Spring Zone: includes magnetite, pyri...
