About this update from Kingsmen Resources Limited
[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\nTSXv - TM \nFrankfurt - TUY \nOTCBB - TUMIF\n\nVANCOUVER, March 20 /CNW/ - Tumi Resources Limited (the \"Company\") \n(TSXv - TM; OTCBB - TUMIF; Frankfurt - TUY). Mr. David Henstridge, President,\nis pleased to provide following update on work completed at La Trini \nsilver-gold property, Jalisco, Mexico.\nIn September 2005, the Company announced the results of an initial\n15 hole reverse circulation drill program focused on the central 200m strike\nlength of a rhyolite porphyry host. Surface, underground and drill evidence\nsuggests that the porphyry which hosts the disseminated gold/silver\nmineralization is an intrusive rather than a volcanic. The rhyolite dips\nshallowly to the north and has been traced over a distance of 1km east-west\nand remains open both along strike and down dip.\nFourteen of the drill holes intersected mineralization. Using a cut-off\ngrade of 30 g/t silver, composite results ranged from a minimum width of 2m to\na maximum of 38.6m, with a best result of 18.3m at a grade of 3.1 g/t gold and\n150 g/t silver in drill hole TRRC-6 (see press release dated September 29,\n2005). Within an area of 200m by 100m the holes intersected gold/silver\nmineralization over an average 14m thickness and the mineralization remains\nopen both along strike and down-dip.\nBetween December 2005 and early February 2006, the control grid was\nextended a further 700 m west of the drilled area. This grid was used for\nsoil/rock chip sampling and geological mapping. The results of the geochemical\nsurvey demonstrated that the zone continues to the west with coincident and\nstrongly anomalous copper and arsenic and moderately anomalous silver, barium\nand zinc in soils directly above the sub-cropping rhyolite unit. This expands\nthe zone of interest of the mineralized rhyolite unit to in excess of 1.5 km.\nAn induced polarization (IP) and resistivity survey, comprising 17 \nnorth-south lines and centered on the known mineralization, has disclosed an\nextensive zone of chargeability and resistivity anomalies roughly parallel to\nthe projection of the rhyolite porphyry. Several large and strong\nchargeability anomalies with coincident surface geochemical anomalies were\ndefined in the survey outside of the drilled area and will be tested in the\nnext drill program.\nPlatforms for up to 24 additional drill sites have also b...
