(TSXV: ORS) (OTC Pink: ORESF) (FSE: O2R1) (WKN: O2R1) has reevaluated the presence of porphyry dykes intersected within thick sections of gold-copper mineralized altered volcanics in three drill holes C20-03, C21-01 and C21-02 on the Captain Porphyry Project. These highly altered quartz Monzonite porphyry dykes measure from 4 to 110 metres thick grading up to 0.84 g/t gold and up to 1700 ppm copper.On section line L1220 four porphyry dykes are mapped from 4 to 82 metres thick grading from 0.28 to 0.84 g/t gold and 540-1700 ppm copper. These dykes dip at 45 degrees and lie in close proximity to the outlined MT conductor/porphyry anomaly, to view maps please click here to visit Orestone's website. The closest dyke to the anomaly grades 0.84 g/t gold and 1700 ppm copper over 14 metres with values up to 1.8 g/t gold and 0.22 % copper. On section line L1320 the drill holes are located 300 metres north of the section line with two dykes mapped in the hanging wall of the MT conductor/porphyry anomaly. The dykes are from 10 to 110 metres thick and grade from 0.18 to 0.70 g/t gold and 200 ppm copper.The presence of these altered and mineralized dykes both in the hanging wall and dipping into the observed MT conductor/potential porphyry intrusive implies that they are related and it is thought highly probable that the planned drill holes will intersect a gold-copper porphyry intrusive system with values similar to the adjacent dykes.Gary Nordin, P.Geo, a Director of the Company, is a qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Nordin has reviewed and approved the technical information in this press release.Orestone Mining Corp. is a professionally managed mineral exploration company headquartered in Vancouver, British Columbia. The Company's primary asset is the 100 percent owned Captain gold-copper Project which hosts a large gold dominate porphyry system. The property encompasses 105 square kilometres located 41 kilometres north of Fort St. James and 30 kilometres south of the Mt. Milligan copper-gold mine in North Central British Columbia. The Captain Project features relatively flat terrain, m...
