(CSE:HSLV)\n \n \n (the\n“\n \n \n Company\n \n \n ” or “\n \n \n Highlander\n \n \n ”) is pleased to announce the\nresults from ninety-five (95) due diligence grab and chip samples\n(including six previously reported) from outcropping exposures on its\nrecently acquired Politunche Property (“the Property” or\n“Politunche”).   Highlander was attracted to the Project based on\nthe extent of historic, high-grade gold and silver surface samples and\nencouraging drill results, found within an intensely altered package\nof volcanic rocks.\n \n \n \n \n Highlights of the recent sampling include:\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Of the ninety-five (95) samples collected, twenty-two\n(22) samples returned gold results in excess of 1.0 g/t. Ten (10) of\nthose 22 samples exceeded 3.0 g/t ranging from 3.01 g/t to 13.20 g/t;\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Forty-three (43) of the samples assayed above 50 g/t\nsilver including 25 assays that ranged from 167g/t to 1,535 g/t\nsilver;\n \n \n \n \n \n \n The majority of the highly anomalous gold samples are\ncoincident with an historic gold-in-soil anomaly that measures 250\nmetres by 650 metres that has yet to be drill tested;\n \n \n \n \n \n \n The silver (g/t) to gold (g/t) ratio is highly variable\nranging from 1.8 to 4,650.  The spatial distribution and analytical\ndata suggest two mineralizing events, a silver rich base metal phase\nfollowed by a gold-silver phase.\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Ron Stewart, President and CEO of Highlander commented,\n \n \n “The results of our due\ndiligence sampling confirm the presence of a high-grade mineralizing\nsystem and clearly demonstrate potential for the discovery of a\nprecious metal deposit on the Politunche property.  We intend to\nsystematically map and sample the property to define the size and\nscope of the mineralized system and develop priority drill targets for\ntesting later in the year.  We expect that this work, together with\nour ongoing exploration of the nearby Alta Victoria project will\ncontinue to demonstrate the highly prospective nature ...
