Empire Mining Final Assays From Demirtepe Main Zone

Empire Mining Corporation (TSXV:EPC) announced the final results for the remaining drill holes from Phase I drilling at the Demirtepe copper-gold-silver-molybdenum project in western Turkey.

The press release is quoted as saying:

All 21 drill-holes in the Main Zone are mineralized with copper, gold, silver and molybdenum. The Main Zone is a structurally-defined block, 350 metres long by 100 metres wide by 150 metres deep, on average. Copper, gold, silver and molybdenum are hosted by wollastonite (a calcium silicate mineral with several industrial uses), or by a mix of wollastonite and garnet, so that virtually all the material in the Main Zone contains saleable product.

The next phase of drilling at Demirtepe is planned to commence in the fall and will be focused on testing the new targets identified from geochemistry and geophysics carried out in the newly discovered Southwest Zone which Empire has interpreted as a possible location of the source porphyry system that is the driver for the skarn mineralization at Demirtepe.
