[{"type":"text","content":"\nPartner Announces the Discovery of Two New Mineralized Vein Systems at the Toruel Property\n\n\n\n\n \nVancouver, BC, Canada, -- Marifil Mines Ltd. (TSX-V: MFM) (TSX-V:NEI) with their JV Partner (“Netco” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has received a progress report from its joint venture partner, Netco Silver Inc. (Netco) on their prospecting, trenching and sampling program at the Toruel Property, Rio Negro Province, Argentina. The Toruel Property is located approximately 23 kilometres southeast of the town of Los Menucos and approximately 100 kilometres from Pan American Silver's Navidad project, one of the world’s largest undeveloped silver deposits.Multiple vein structures have been identified on the Toruel Property to date, with only 50 percent of the property having been explored and mapped. Recent prospecting and sampling has identified two additional vein structures, the “El Cumpa” vein and the “Capo” vein. Image: http://www.accesswire.com/uploads/chart1053112.gifThe El Cumpa vein was discovered 2,500 metres east of the Toruel vein where past drilling had intersected 6.7 metres of almost 2 kilograms silver and 5.34% copper (See Marifil news release of November 28, 2005). This new vein is expressed by discountinuous, one meter wide outcrops along a strike length of approximately 1,100 metres, The El Cumpa vein is genetically similar to the known Toruel vein system and comprises multi-phased silica events. The mineralizing environment consists of hydrothermal replacement breccias and numerous drusy (and, to a lesser extent, chalcedonic) silica veinlets exhibiting colloform textures. The breccia fragments are crystal tuffs partially replaced by silica. The breccias show the traditional cockscomb or cockade textures typical of epithermal mineralized systems. Sparse fluorite veinlets occur towards the eastern end of the vein. These fluorite veinlets suggest a this part of the vein is in the upper portion of the epithermal mineralizing system.The Capo vein lies approximately 250 metres to the north of the El Cumpa vein. This new vein exhibits one meter wide discontinuous outcrops over a strike length of approximately 950 metres.To date, trenches have been opened across both mineralized structures and rock samples (including the corresponding quality c...
