[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\n\nTrading Symbol: JSP (TSX-V)\n\nCALGARY, Sept. 28 /CNW/ - Jasper Mining Corporation (the \"Company\")\nrecently reported final results from the initial 2006 diamond drill program on\nits 100% owned Isintok property (see Press Releases dated August 11, August 28\nand September 26, 2006). The tenures comprising the property cover an area of\napproximately 60.3 square km (23.3 square miles), or 6,029 ha (14,898 acres)\nat the height of land between McNulty and Isintok creeks, approximately 27 km\nwest-southwest of Summerland, BC and 20 km north of Hedley.\nThe Company's diamond drill results from the property continue to\ndocument copper (Cu) +/- molybdenum (Mo) +/- gold (Au) +/- silver (Ag) from\nthe area of current interest. This area was previously identified during an\ninitial drill program in 1972, with subsequent holes in 1981 and 1997 (see\nPress Release dated Mar. 15, 2006 for a tabulation of significant results from\nthe property to that date). A total of 63 percussion and diamond drill holes\nhave been documented on the property, with 28 percussion and diamond drill\nholes in the area of interest, which extends 960 m north-south by 440 m\neast-west.\nA total of 10 diamond drill holes were completed by the Company on the\nproperty as part of the preliminary 2006 exploration program. The Company's\ndrill holes are within an area approximately 200 m east-west by 565 m\nnorth-south. The area currently being drilled is located on the fringe of\ncoincident magnetic and resistivity anomalies identified from a Fugro airborne\ngeophysical survey (see Press Release dated Nov. 16, 2006). This area is\ncharacterized by anomalous mineralization as documented in previous programs.\nThe drill program was temporarily suspended in late July due to significant\ndelays in receiving analytical data. The purpose of the delay is to allow\nsufficient time for receipt of full analytical results from the initial drill\nprogram so as to allow identification of any mineralized zones in the\nsub-surface and ascertain how they lie with regard to adjacent holes. This\ninformation was considered sufficiently important to further drilling that the\nprogram was temporarily suspended.\nIn addition, the results of a limited surface soil sampling program have\nalso been received and are being evaluated with regard to the airborne\ngeophysical and s...
