(BXX - TSX Venture), (\"Boxxer\" or the \"Corporation\") is pleased to provide an update on activities related to its 100% owned Boss porphyry copper project located in the Goodsprings Mining District, southwest Nevada. Based on recent sampling, a large new zone of copper-gold mineralization has been outlined around the former Rose Mine. Highlights: * A mineralized skarn that is a minimum of 150 m long by 120 m wide around the former Rose Mine including 1.71% copper, 0.147 g/t gold and 7.05 g/t silver over 2.58 m; * Skarn hosted copper-silver mineralization outlined over an area that is 250 m long by 15 m vertical east of the former Columbia Copper Mine with copper values ranging from 1.88% to 3.93%;* Staking additional 191 mineral claims; and* An 8,000 metre diamond drilling program to test the IP targets to commence as soon as possible.Boxxer's President and CEO, Elmer B. Stewart, explained, \"The Goodsprings District is rapidly becoming an area play for porphyry copper deposits.  The recent recognition of a wide, intensely folded regional scale fault, that hosts multiple intrusives and five large mineralized skarn strongly suggests the presence of a porphyry environment.  This fault zone has been traced over a 16 kilometre length on the Boss Project. The preliminary sampling results from the Rose Mine and Columbia Mine both of which occur within this fault zone are very encouraging and support the porphyry copper-gold model being used by Boxxer to explore the Goodsprings Mining District.\"Boxxer's new land acquisitions around the Boss property and copper showings can be viewed here: http://www.usetdas.com/images/boxxerimage.png.  Rose Mine:Copper-gold-silver mineralization occurs over an area that is at least 150 m long by 120 m wide and has a vertical height of 50 m.  Analytical results of channel and select samples collected from small pits within the mineralized area returned the following mineralized intervals: -----------------------------------------------------------------------SAMPLE ID         INTERVAL(m)   COPPER(%) &#x...
