VANCOUVER, Aug. 23 /CNW/ - Tumi Resources Limited (the "Company")   
(TSXv-TM; OTCBB - TUMIF; Frankfurt - TUY).
Mr. David Henstridge, President, is pleased to report that the Company
has completed a fifteen-hole reverse circulation drill program at La Trini
silver-gold project. The drill holes ranged in depth from 48 metres to
148 metres and totaled 1,344 metres.
The drill program has been completed on time and budget. Said
Mr. Henstridge, "The drill crew and drill machine performed as expected and
the Company is pleased with how the work has gone. We now await assay results
from this drill program." Initial results from this program will be available
in about 2 weeks.
All holes were drilled using a 4 7/8 inch diameter reverse circulation
hammer, and the entire holes were sampled on site at two metre intervals. Each
of the samples selected for analyses was subsequently split on site to about
5 kgs under the supervision of Tumi staff, and the remainder of each sample
will be stored for verification and archival purposes. The QC program includes
the regular insertion of three different known standards, and all samples will
be transported by Company staff to GM LACME Laboratory, Guadalajara, for
further preparation. Pulps from these samples will be air freighted to and
assayed by IPL Laboratory in Vancouver, Canada, for gold and silver. An
independent qualified geologist, Mr. John Nebocat, P. Eng., visited the drill
site to both observe the drilling and sampling procedures.
The qualified person for the La Trini project, David Henstridge, a Fellow
of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and a Member of the
Australian Institute of Geoscientists, has visited the La Trini project area
and has verified the contents of this news release.
