[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\n\nTrading Symbol: JSP (TSX-V)\n\n\nCALGARY, Sept. 19 /CNW/ - Jasper Mining Corporation has received and\nreviewed the final analytical results from its soil program on the Erie Creek\nproperty. Geochemical coverage provided by the soil program to date extends up\nto 1.7 km on either side of Erie Creek (primarily to evaluate the Erie Creek\nStock), with contour lines along some of the tributaries. The program to date\nhas been designed to test the area around and between the known MINFILE\noccurrences, from the former Second Relief mine to the north and the Hattie\noccurrence to the south.\n\n\nThe most significant result of the soil program to date has been the\napparent delineation of the Erie Creek Stock. An anomalous area, clearly\ndefined by tungsten-in-soil values to a maximum of 370 ppm (0.037%), extends\napproximately 650 m east of, and is up to 1.2 km in length sub-parallel to,\nErie Creek. The resulting anomaly is interpreted to define, and be restricted\nto, the Erie Creek Stock. Anomalous molybdenum values (between 3 and 113 ppm)\ndefine an anomaly that is spatially coincident with the tungsten anomaly.\nAnomalous copper values (between 20 and 1515 ppm) are greatest above the\nanomaly interpreted to define the Erie Creek Stock (tungsten and molybdenum)\nand grade outward over 300 - 400 m, with a coincident increase in lead (to a\nmaximum of 0.50%) and zinc (to a maximum of 0.26%) values, confirming the\nmetal zonation previously interpreted for the area (see News Release dated\nApril 27, 2007). The soil data also documents a gold anomaly on the east side\nof the tungsten + molybdenum anomaly defining the Erie Creek Stock. Gold\nvalues to 1477 ppb (1.5 ppm or 1.5 gm/tonne) partially overlap the tungsten +\nmolybdenum anomaly and extends farther east, defining a broadly circular\ngold-in-soil anomaly approximately 250 m in diameter.\n\n\nTaken together with the diamond drill hole data, the 14 holes comprising\nJasper Mining Corporation's preliminary 2007 drill program are localized along\nthe road network straddling Erie Creek and are, therefore, located on the\nwestern fringe of the soil anomaly interpreted to define the Erie Creek Stock\nand associated higher grade molybdenum + copper +/- tungsten +/- gold\nmineralization. DDHEK-07-1, 3, 5, 6, 10 to 13 are all located slightly west of\nthe western margin of the ...
