[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\nVANCOUVER, Dec. 10, 2013 /CNW/ - Monument Mining Limited (TSX-V: MMY and\n FSE: D7Q1) \"Monument\" or the \"Company\" is pleased to report recent\n Selinsing drill hole assay results from some of its FY2013 drilling\n program which continue to define and extend oxide and sulfide\n mineralization at the Selinsing open pit gold mine in Malaysia.\n\n\nASSAY HIGHLIGHTS\n\n\n\nMSMDD024 intersected 24.0 meters (172.9-196.9m) at 1.73 g/t Au including 3.0\n meters (187.9-190.9m) at 4.81 g/t Au in the Deeps sulphide zone;\n\n\nMSMDD036 intersected 6.00 meters (207.5-213.5m) at 5.05 g/t Au and an underlying\n zone of 12.20 meters (229.9-242.1m) at 3.94 g/t Au in the Deeps\n sulphide zone;\n\n\nMMSDD051 intersected  14.5 meters (12.5-27.0m) at 2.02 g/t Au including 1.5 meters\n (17.0-18.5m) at 6.14 g/t Au in oxide south of the Selinsing pit;\n\n\nMSMDD067 intersected 1.60 meters (75.4-77.0m) at 19.4  g/t Au and an underlying\n 1.70 meters (89.0-90.7m) at 25.2 g/t Au (both in sulphide) north of the\n Selinsing pit;\n\n\nMSMDD084 intersected 56.5 meters (203.0-259.5m) at 1.44 g/t Au including 6.0\n meters (222.5-228.5m) at 4.48 g/t Au in the Deeps sulphide zone.\n\n\n\nThese drill results demonstrate that gold mineralization at the\n Selinsing deposit continues along strike to the south and north as well\n as down-dip at depth (Selinsing \"Deeps\") as zones of significant widths\n of moderate grade including high grade sub-zones, in both sulphide and\n oxide ore.  The sulfide mineralization is hosted in a north-south\n striking fault/shear zone dipping moderately to the east within an\n interbedded sequence of argillite, graphitic argillite, calcareous\n argillite, graphitic calcareous arenite, felsic tuff and phyllite rocks\n with weak to moderate gold-bearing quartz plus pyrite plus arsenopyrite\n plus/minus stibnite veins and stockwork veinlets. The sulfide minerals\n are generally not visibly present within the oxide mineralization.\n\n\nThe fiscal 2013 Selinsing drill program, totaling US$1.94 million,\n focused on finding additional oxide and sulfide ores within, adjacent\n to, and outside of the existing pit development areas and in the area\n extending northwards along strike from the Selinsing Pit to the Buffalo\n Reef South pit.  Both infill-delineation drilling within the existing\n design pits and drill ...
