[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nCALGARY, Feb. 18 /CNW/ - Boxxer Gold Corp (TSXV - "BXX") is very pleased\nto announce that recent exploration has located five new areas of copper oxide\nmineralization on its 100% owned Boss property located in southern Nevada. As\na result, copper-gold mineralization within the Boss Extension occurs over a\nminimum horizontal distance of 650 metres ("m"), approximately 500m wide and a\nvertical distance of 175m.\n\n\nThe locations of the samples and approximate extent of copper oxide\nmineralization exposed in outcrop discussed in this news release are shown on\nFigure-1 and the analytical results are listed in the tables set out below.\n\n\nMr. Elmer Stewart, President and CEO of Boxxer stated, "The recent\ndiscoveries have considerably expanded the potential for copper-gold\nmineralization in the Boss Extension area. The size of this target combined\nwith the three geochemically distinct styles of mineralization in a skarn\nrelated porphyry environment makes this a primary drill target".\n\n\nBoss Extension:\n\n\nThe Boss Extension consists of 10 large zones of copper-gold\nmineralization exposed in former mine workings, adits, pits and outcrops over\na minimum horizontal distance of 650m by 500m wide and a vertical distance of\n175m. Marble containing up to 15% chlorite occurs over the entire length of\nthe Boss Extension and is the host rock for the mineralization. Disseminated\nchalcopyrite has been identified in thin sections and hand specimens of the\nmarble. The Boss Extension extends from the Boss No. 2 zone that yielded 5.41%\ncopper and 0.93 g/t gold over an interval of 14.5 m (see news release dated\nApril 22, 2008) on the northeast side to the Boss No. 5 zone that yielded\n2.11% copper, 0.22 g/t gold and 26.93 g/t silver over an interval of 13.90 m\n(see news release dated October 20, 2008) at the southwest end. The other 8\nzones (including the Boss No. 4, Boss No. 5, Boss No. 6 and Boss No. 7) of\nmineralization are located between the Boss No. 2 and Boss No. 5 zones within\nthe Boss Extension.\n\n\nTo see map of Boss Extension, please visit:\nhttp://files.newswire.ca/758/Boss_Map_Results.doc\n\n\nBoss No. 4:\n\n\nBoss No. 4 is located approximately 40m east and 60m north of the Boss\nNo. 5 zone. Disseminations and veinlets of copper oxide mineralization are\nexposed on surf...
