142.9 Ounce per ton Silver Intersect at the KL Zone
Vancouver, B.C.: CMC Metals Ltd. (OOTC:CMCXF) (TSXV:CMB) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the remainder of the 2010 Silver Hart property drill results completed in the KL zone. The KL zone is located 1000 meters northeast of the main TM zone. A total of 13 drill holes were completed in the KL as infill drilling. The KL zone is a zinc manto style showing which is different from the other epithermal vein showings at the TM, S, and M zones. Based on the historical and recent drill data, it is evident that high grade silver/zinc feeder veins are present at depth. Several drill holes intersected coarse grain sphalerite and galena veins with grades exceeding 4900 grams per tonne silver. This demonstrates the potential existence of a deep seated silver/zinc ore body within the vicinity. The following are the highlight intersects encountered:

Samples were prepared and assayed by ALS Laboratory Group in Vancouver, an ISO qualified assay facility. Silver values were determined using fire assay method with gravimetric finish. All other assays were by 4AR-ICP method. Standard samples and blanks were used for quality assurance and quality control for sample analysis. Estimated structure dip for true width was 65 degrees for the KL zone.
Drill hole 10-07 is located 25 meters west of drill hole 05-09 (KL zone) and 35 meters east of drill hole 06-03 (K zone). The depth of intersect of 10-07 confirms the continuation down dip of the KL structure plus the structural connection between the K and KL zones. There is the potential to significantly increase the tonnage at the KL showing through further defining the K and KL structure. Future drilling will focus on increasing our understanding of the area between these two zones.
