Messina Minerals Inc. Commences Drilling at Boomerang, Newfoundland

Messina Minerals (TSXV:MMI) announced that drilling has begun at its’  Tulke South Property in Newfoundland.

The press release is quoted as saying:

Massive sulphides containing zinc, lead, copper, silver and gold were discovered by Messina in 2005 on the Tulks South Property at Boomerang. Since that time two adjacent massive sulphide zones, Boomerang and Domino, have been outlined by drilling. Boomerang has been defined from 50 meters to 350 meters depth from surface and contains approximately 1.7 million tonnes of mineralization.

Peter Tallman, President and CEO of the company says:

“The resumption of drilling in the Boomerang area after a 3 year hiatus is a welcome positive step to Messina’s 12-month exploration objectives in central Newfoundland. These objectives include completing a NI43-101 estimate of zinc-lead mineral resources at the Long Lake Property, sampling historic archived drill core from the Tulks East B Zone within the Tulks South Property in order to also prepare the B Zone for an estimate of zinc-lead mineral resources, and completing additional exploration and drilling programs on several priority target areas including Hurricane. Recent financings have provided the funding to commence this current program.”
