A total of 61 rock samples were collected during an initial phase of prospecting with 5 samples selected for rush analysis. The rushed rock float and outcrop samples^ returned between 0.07% and 1.26% Cu, and between 0.2 and 2.8 g/t Ag (Figure 3). Additional prospecting and geological mapping since the previous news release has expanded the lateral extent of copper mineralization to a minimum strike length of 1.0 kilometres. Analytical results for the remaining 56 samples are pending and will be reported in a future news release.The discovery of copper mineralization in bedrock is located on the east end of the Hughes Lake Trend. Copper mineralization from outcrop and subcrop rock grab samples^ comprises between 0.5 to 5% combined, fracture-controlled, foliation parallel stringers and disseminated, malachite, bornite, and chalcopyrite hosted within dolomitized limestone and adjacent altered clastic sedimentary rocks that marks the first occurrence of copper noted on this under-explored property (Figures 4 and 5). Initial field work consisting of prospecting, geological mapping, and the collection of 1,700 soil samples is focused on following up on the Hughes Lake Trend where an 8-kilometre-long anomalous zone of copper and cobalt in historic soil samples* is coincident with mafic volcanic rocks of the Hughes Lake Complex and associated magnetic rocks. The Company is also pleased to announce that based on these results it has acquired an additional 4 mineral licences (112 claims) comprising 2,800 hectares adjacent to and contiguous with the Humber Project. The Humber Project now comprises a total of 43,475 hectares.Magna Terra would like to acknowledge and thank both the Province...
