[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\nTSXv - TM\nFrankfurt - TUY\nOTCBB - TUMIF\n\nVANCOUVER, April 3 /CNW/ - Tumi Resources Limited (the \"Company\")\n(TSXv-TM; OTCBB-TUMIF; Frankfurt-TUY). Mr. David Henstridge, President, is\npleased to announce that the Company has staked a further eight (8)\nexploration licences totaling 8,120 hectares in Sweden. Three of these\nlicences (Skalbo, Hornkullen and Kobergs) have been confirmed by the Swedish\nMining Inspectorate, and each has been granted for an initial period of three\nyears; the other applications remain pending and are expected shortly. The\nCompany now holds 18 exploration licences totaling 12,375 hectares. Ten (10)\nof these licences held by the company cover seven (7) historic silver mines in\nthe Bergslagen district of south central Sweden, see news release dated March\n29, 2006.\nThe Bergslagen district lies immediately to the north-west of Stockholm\nand covers an area of approximately 200 kms east-west by 150 kms north-south.\nThe district is underlain by volcanics and sediments which are more than\n2 billion years old. Bergslagen is a highly mineralized district and one of\nthe most important ore districts in Europe, containing deposits of iron,\nmanganese, base-metal and silver sulphides. It contains the well known\nhistoric and current mines of Sala, Falun, Garpenberg and Zinkgruvan.\n\n>\n\nVery little modern exploration has been undertaken for silver within the\nBergslagen district. As the rock types (carbonate-derived) recorded within\nmany of these leases are known to host economic mineralization elsewhere the\npotential for finding new silver deposits is extremely good.\nMr. Henstridge stated \"It is very pleasing to be able to amass such a\nstrong portfolio of silver properties in the relatively unexplored Bergslagen\nDistrict of Sweden. Besides obtaining title to seven significant historic\nsilver producers, including one of the world's richest at Sala, the Company\nhas applied for a further eight exploration licences covering prospective\nground. This year will be an exciting one for shareholders as we make every\neffort to advance all of these projects as quickly as possible\"\nThe qualified person for the Tumi's Silver Projects, David Henstridge, a\nFellow of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and a Member of\nthe Australian Institute of Geoscientists, has visited the ...
