(KS - TSX Venture, KLSVF - OTCBB_Pink_Sheets), is pleased to announce assays of chip samples taken from the lower levels of the Wonderful Mine located in the midst of the Slocan Silver Camp at Sandon, BC.\n\nTwelve sample sections were taken along the length of a raise (connecting shaft between two levels) driven from the lowest Level-4 (1144m elevation) up to Level-3 (1192m elevation). The raise follows a mineralized vein on the Wonderful system across all lithologies for a length of 54.5m at 49° and connects with the mineralization on Level-3. The raise confirms connectivity of 53m of the mineralized vein on Level-4 with 152m of vein mapped 48m higher on Level-3. Eighteen sample sections were taken from level 3 with both the raise and Level-3 geology showing the same trend.\n \nThe completed raise is the first of two required between each level. Rehabilitation of the underground workings of Level-4 was completed in late 2007 with raise development and the rehabilitation of Level-3 completed summer 2008.\n \nMapping and chip sampling of the raise and rehabilitated Level-3 were completed in September 2008. Results of all 30 samples are shown in the accompanying tables. The vein seats in a granite intrusive to the west and at depth and enters argillite on rising and eastward. \n\nTable 1: Raise Assay Results, Wonderful Level 4/3\n\nTrue widths are given in the adjacent table while sample stations are given measuring from the top downwards. The vein varies in width from 12 to 65cm, averaging 40 - 45cm width. Zinc mineralization (Sphalerite) increases in proportion as the vein enters into argillite. \n\nThe highest grades are associated with structural distortions providing values of: 29.86% zinc, 7.09% lead and 228 grams/tonne (6.65 oz/ton) silver over 47cm; and 39.1% zinc and 2.4% lead, 139 grams/tonne (4.05 oz/ton) silver over 42cm.\n\n-***-\n\nWidth Sample Zn % Pb % Ag\n  ...
