Cyprium Mining Reports 9.5% Copper and 35g/t Silver Over 1.3 Metres

Cyprium Mining (TSXV:CUG,DB:CUG) announced assay results showing high grade massive sulphide veins at its Las Cristinas property in Mexico. The results include intervals of 1.30 m interval at 9.5 percent copper and 35 g/t silver and 0.50 m interval at 12.1 percent copper and 1 g/t silver.

According to the press release, highlights include:

To date, Cyprium’s drilling program has outlined copper mineralization over an investigated area 550 meters long by 100 meters wide. This area contains four major structures ranging from 0.25 meter to 10 meters of true width, averaging approximate grades of 0.2% to 12.4% copper and from 2 g/t to 298 g/t Ag (silver). One hole was done to verify the near surface rock stability to support the mine development design. The four structures are identified as Semana Santa and Semana Santa 1 to 3 (“SS“). The thickest and best mineralized parts of these structures were encountered in SS 1 and SS 2. The south east sector of where drilling was conducted presented the best assays and the best continuity for copper/silver mineralization.

Andre St Michel, president and CEO, said:

The drilling results obtained thus far validate our geological model and confirm our belief in the very significant exploration potential of Las Cristinas.
