Results Include: 14.25 m averaging 0.6 g/t gold and 564 g/t silver and
4m averaging 11.7 g/t gold and 248 g/t silver
VANCOUVER, May 31 /CNW/ - Tumi Resources Limited (TSXv-TM; OTCBB - TUMIF;
Frankfurt - TUY). Mr. David Henstridge, President, is pleased to announce the
results of the underground channel sampling program at the La Trini
silver-gold prospect, Jalisco, Mexico.
La Trini silver-gold mineralization outcrops within a gently
northerly-dipping silicified rhyolite containing disseminated pyrite and
argentite (silver sulphide). Two adits, about 40 metres vertically apart, were
reconditioned and 110 channel samples, ranging in length from 1.05 m to 2.6 m,
were taken. Using a cut-off grade of 30 g/t silver, results of this sampling
program are listed in the table below.

The Company is very encouraged by these results and, in addition to the
surface sample results recently announced by the Company, they support the
potential to discover bulk tonnage disseminated silver-gold mineralization
within this property.
The qualified person for the La Trini silver-gold project, David
Henstridge, a Fellow of the Australian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and
a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists, has visited the project
area to see the sample sites and has verified the content of this news
release.
