(BXX - TSX Venture), (\"Boxxer\" or the \"Corporation\") is pleased to announce it has retained Quantec Geosciences Ltd. (Quantec) to conduct additional Titan-24 DCIP and MT surveying on its 100%-owned Boss; copper-gold porphyry project located in the Goodsprings Mining District, southwest Nevada.  The Titan-24 DCIP and MT survey will consist of approximately 22 line kilometres of survey located over the Rose mine, a former small, high grade copper mine in the district. Boxxer's President and CEO, Elmer B. Stewart, explained, \"Our geophysical surveys to date have covered approximately 20% of the total Boss project area. The copper-gold skarn exposed on surface contains significant molybdenum values and requires detailed exploration, hence our next step, a second round of Titan-24 DCIP and MT surveying around the newly acquired Rose mine.  The surface and airborne geophysical results suggest an intrusive in the vicinity of the Rose mine that is consistent with the porphyry copper model we are using to explore the Goodsprings Mining District.\"Diamond Drilling Update:The Amended Notice of Work required to commence the proposed 8,000 metre of diamond drilling is currently under review by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM).  Boxxer has located 12 diamond drill holes totalling 6,400 metres and plans to use the remaining 1,600 metres to either deepen holes, drill offset holes or diamond drill other geophysical targets identified to date.  Five diamond drill holes can be completed using a truck mounted diamond drill and the remaining seven holes will require helicopter support.  Logistical planning for the diamond drilling program has been completed.  The start date for the drilling program cannot be provided until approval of the Amended Notice of Work is received from the BLM.  Quantec Geophysical Survey:Quantec has been contracted to complete approximately 22 linear kilometres of Titan-24 DCIP and MT surveys around the Rose mine (see News Release dated May 3, 2010).  The reasons for the Titan-24 DCIP and MT survey are listed below: a) an interpreted intrusive at ...
