INTERNATIONAL MILLENNIUM MINING CORP.S JOINT VENTURE PARTNER FIRST MEXICAN GOLD
CORP. STARTS 2ND DRILL RIG & PROVIDES UPDATE AT GUADALUPE
INTERNATIONAL MILLENNIUM MINING CORP.’S JOINT VENTURE PARTNER FIRST
MEXICAN GOLD CORP.
STARTS 2ND DRILL RIG & PROVIDES UPDATE AT
GUADALUPE
North Vancouver, BC: International Millennium Mining Corp.(“IMMC”
or the “Company”) (TSX-V: IMI) in conjunction with First Mexican
Gold Corp.
(“First Mex”) (TSX-V: FMG) announces the arrival of a
second diamond drill rig at the Guadalupe property in southeast
Sonora State, Mexico.
First Mexican Gold Corp.
holds an option to acquire an 80% interest
in the Guadalupe property package from Minera Internacional Milenio
S.A.
de C.V.
(MIMSA) a wholly owned subsidiary of IMMC.
While First Mex continues ongoing drilling of BTW core at numerous
prospects within the Guadalupe property, on August 11th Rig #2 began
drilling a minimum 1,200 metres (5 to 6 holes) of HQ core to evaluate
four high priority target areas, within the known Diana, Karen East,
Erica, and Bailey zones of mineralization.
Rig #2 has initially been deployed at the first of the next two hole
locations planned for the Diana zone.
This first hole, HDH 11-18, is
planned to drill to a depth of 300 metres to test the western extent
of a very significant 1,700 metre long +100 metre wide chargeability
anomaly discovered earlier this year using a 3D IP (Induced
Polarization) survey, and strongly correlated with three earlier
drill holes (HDH 11-09 thru HDH 11-11), which have already delineated
400 metres along the anomaly’s eastern extension.
The second hole to be drilled at the Diana zone, during this phase,
aims to test a secondary offset chargeability and possible enrichment
zone lying northwest from Diana’s western most extension.
With these
two holes, First Mex intends to confirm that the Diana zone represents
a minimum 1,700 meter long mineralized zone, with very strong
potential for a near surface low dilution low grade bulk mineable
Gold and Silver deposit.
If successful, First Mex will target the
Diana zone with a resource drilling program to begin later in the
Fall.
Subsequent to the completion of the two drill holes at the Diana
zone, Rig #2 will drill the next hole at the newly discovered Karen
East zone (as referenced in First Mex’s news release dated June 20,
2011) to a minimum depth of 200 meters.
First Mex has interpreted
Karen East as being a vent associated to the mineralization which
provided the excellent drill results encountered with earlier
drilling at the Karen zone, located some 300 meters West and downhill
from Karen East.
The fourth hole of the Rig #2 drilling program is planned for the
Erica zone, targeted to drill the first of two known chargeability
highs to a minimum depth of 300 meters at the northern extent of the
chargeability anomaly.
Although the first four holes (HDH 11-12 thru
11-15) drilled at the Erica zone have not returned significant assay
results, they have added greatly to our understanding in the area.
With this fourth hole First Mex expects to better determine the
physical and mineralized nature of the structure responsible for the
Erica zone’s chargeability anomaly, before finalizing the design of
future drill holes.
The fifth hole is designated for the Bailey zone, to test the strong
surface expression of mineralization and host rock around historical
workings known to have produced high grade copper.
Depths to 300 metres are expected on selected holes.
All locations
within Rig #2’s initial 1,200 metre program are considered high
priority and have not been previously drilled.
Multiple areas of
interest for future HQ drilling are being evaluated.
Jim Voisin, President & CEO of First Mex remarks, “In light of
these prevailing market conditions, we are delighted to begin
drilling this next 1,200 metres of HQ drilling.
The targets for each
of these five holes in the four zones specified above are based on
some very strong and correlating supporting data from our earlier
work.
Success in the next two holes at the Diana zone alone will
offer First Mex and, therefore, its shareholders, significant upside
exploration potential to confirming the possibility of a sizeable low
dilution bulk mineable gold and silver deposit.”
Ongoing road construction to access the contiguous area acquired
earlier in the year through a joint venture with Kootenay Gold Inc.
is progressing as expected, with completion scheduled for mid to late
August.
Upon completion of this road construction, First Mex will
immediately begin extensive sampling and line cutting in preparation
of another +/-30 line kilometres of 3D IP survey to be carried by SJ
Geophysics in November of this year.
First Mex will use the good
results obtained from previous sampling by Kootenay Gold in this area
(as referenced in First Mex’s February 14, 2011 news release) to
assist in designing the planned 3D IP survey.
John Archibald, PGeo, of Billiken Management Services Inc., a
qualified person, for First Mex, pursuant to NI 43-101, has reviewed
and approved the technical disclosure of this press release on behalf
of the First Mex.
First Mexican Gold Corp.
(TSX-V: FMG) is an active explorer for
precious metals in Mexico and holds an option to acquire 80% interest
in the Guadalupe property package from (MIMSA) a wholly owned
subsidiary of International Millennium Mining Corp (IMI-TSX-V).
First
Mex now controls a total of 15,112 hectares in this high potential
exploration area.
International Millennium Mining Corp.
(TSX-V: IMI) is a mineral
exploration and development company engaged in acquiring known
smaller mine deposits, such as its Nivloc, Nevada silver-gold mine
project, in the Americas, with the goal of advancing the properties
to the mining stage.
Emerging targets include silver, gold, copper,
zinc and lead.
