Apr. 26, 2010 (TheNewswire.ca) --
Supreme Resources Ltd. is pleased to announce the results of a soil sampling program conducted on the Verde copper-silver-gold project in March of this year. The Verde project is located 14 kilometres south of Princeton BC, and 4 kilometres northeast of Copper Mountain Mining Corporation's Copper Mountain mine that is scheduled to resume production in mid 2011.
The soil geochemical survey was carried out over an area of old trenches, including trench-1 that was sampled in March of this year and gave 9 metres of 0.49% copper and 6.86 grams/tonne silver (News release ). The survey covered an area 250 metres in a north-south direction by 500 metres in an east-west direction, with grid lines spaced 50 metres apart and samples sites spaced 25 metres apart along the lines. One hundred and twenty-six samples were collected and sent for analysis.
The survey outlined a strong northeast-southwest trending copper soil geochemical anomaly associated with trench-1. The copper anomaly extends 200 metres in a northeast direction and 100 metres in a southwest direction from trench-1 and is open to the northeast. The anomaly is 50 to 100 metres wide and copper values range up to 820 ppm.
A second, smaller copper soil geochemical anomaly occurs 100 metres east of the main anomaly. The smaller copper anomaly measures 100 metres by 100 metres with copper values ranging up to 2752 ppm. Silver soil geochemical anomalies occur coincidentally with both of the copper anomalies.
The coincidental copper-silver soil geochemical anomalies associated with the fracture controlled copper-silver-gold mineralization at the Verde project have greatly enhanced the size potential of the property. Supreme expects to conduct additional soil sampling on the Verde project in the coming weeks to determine the extent of the copper-silver soil geochemical anomalies, followed by a core drilling program to test the copper mineralization when the drilling permit has been obtained from the Mines Branch in Kamloops BC. The application for the drilling permit was submitted on March 26, and approval is expected by the end of May.
Eco Tech Laboratory Ltd. of Kamloops, BC, an accredited laboratory and subsidiary of Alex Stewart Group Ltd. conducted the sample preparation and analysis. The sample analysis for silver was by aqua regia digestion with AA finish, and 33 multi-element ICP analyses by aqua regia digestion, AES finish. The sample stream was subject to check analysis on repeat and re-split samples. The samples were not analyzed for gold.
Grant F. Crooker, PGeo (geologist) is the qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 who supervised the preparation and verification of the technical information in this release.
Further news will be forthcoming in the near future.
