Multiple Zones of Mineralization Intersected at the Santander Pipe Target in Peru

Drilling at the Trevali Mining Corporation (TSX:TV,OTCQX:TREVF,FWB:4TI) Santander Pipe in Peru has intersected high-grade, polymetallic mineralization, underscoring the significant potential within the former producing deposit located in west-central Peru.

As quoted in the press release:

Highlights include:

• 8.4 metres of 3.6% zinc, 3.5% lead, 88.58 g/t silver and 0.2% copper, and 10 metres of 10.69% zinc, 29.9 g/t silver, and 0.2% copper

Drill hole SAN-192 was designed to test a high-priority mid-to-deeper level target identified during 3-D reconstruction and reconciliation studies of the former producing Santander Pipe (see news release TV-NR-11-19 from June 21, 2011).

The hole intersected the target between 245 and 265 metres vertical depth – returning 8.4 metres of polymetallic mineralization prior to passing through a historic mine development and into an additional 10-metre zone of strong zinc mineralization (Table 1 & Figure 1). The hole terminated in mineralization with the last sample returning 13.7% zinc, 24.8 g/t (0.72 oz/T) and 0.29% copper.

Hole SAN-192 was the fourth successful drill hole testing the Santander Pipe and the results continue to validate reconciliation modeling that indicates significant remaining potential both within and below the formerly producing Santander Pipe
