VANCOUVER, Sept. 29 /CNW/ - Tumi Resources Limited (the "Company")
(TSX-V - TM; OTCBB - TUMIF; Frankfurt - TUY).
Mr. David Henstridge, President, is pleased to announce the drill assay
results from the La Trini silver project, Jalisco State, Mexico, attached
hereto. This first reverse circulation drilling program yielded very
encouraging results and demonstrated the potential for La Trini to contain a
large, bulk minable, open pit silver deposit.
Surface, underground and drill evidence suggests that the rhyolite
porphyry, hosting the disseminated silver-gold mineralization, is an intrusion
rather than a volcanic. The rhyolite has been traced over a distance of 1 km
and remains open to the west and down dip. Soil geochemical and induced
polarization (IP) surveys have been very useful methods in tracing the
favorable horizon where soil cover hides rock outcroppings. The data from the
IP survey is currently being modeled and the results of this analysis will be
reported when available.
Mr. Henstridge states "The drill program revealed that the disseminated
silver-gold mineralization lies within an intrusion and, therefore, its entire
extent remains an exploration target. Our on-going surface and geophysical
programs will help in determining our next drill sites, as only a very small
proportion of the rhyolite intrusion has been drill-tested."
The Company plans to extend the surface grid to the west to conduct
further mapping, soil sampling and IP surveying once the rainy season has
ended.
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 area and has
verified the contents of this news release.
Quality Control: Drill samples were collected on 2.1 metre intervals.
Each sample was split on site using a Jones splitter and stored for later use.
The site geologist subsequently selected the intervals to be sampled, and the
entire interval was run through the Jones splitter twice more to help with
homogenization. One-half of this interval was split further to a nominal 5 kg
size and sent to LLACME Laboratory in Guadalajara where the samples were
crushed and pulverized prior to shipment to IPL Laboratories, Vancouver, B.C.
The rejects from all sample intervals split on site were saved. A duplicate
5 kg sample from hole TRRC-10 was sent to ALS Chemex for cross-checking; the
results obtained from both ALS Chemex and IPL compared extremely well. The
Company has continued a program of inserting sample standards as a means of
checking on laboratory analytical reproducibility. Three different standards,
with a range of gold and silver values, were randomly inserted in the sample
series submitted to LLACME laboratory in Guadalajara. Silver analyses done by
IPL Laboratories were determined using the ICP analytical method; all results
that yielded greater than 30 ppm Ag were re-analyzed using a gravimetric
finish--these are the results being reported. Gold was determined by the fire
assay-atomic absorption finish method. Both IPL and ALS Chemex are ISO
9001:2000 certified laboratories.
On behalf of the Board,
