West Timmins extends drilling zones

West Timmins Mining Inc. announces that ongoing drill testing on the Company’s 100% owned Thorne Property, part of the West Timmins Gold Project, has extended the Pond and West Gold Zones. Key intercepts include 1.15 metres grading 10.17 g/t gold from the Pond Zone and 5.20 metres grading 1.29 g/t from the West Zone.

Drill Hole GW07-09 returned four separate mineralized intervals interpreted to be the eastern extensions of the West, Sandhill, Pond and newly defined Lower Porphyry Gold Zones. These four zones are interpreted to trend sub-parallel to each other. Each of the zones demonstrates significant lateral and vertical continuity as defined by previous drilling.

WTM’s drilling along the Golden River Trend continues to yield new discoveries and expand the known zones of gold mineralization within this 5 kilometre long corridor, said Darin Wagner, President of West Timmins Mining. Recent results suggest there is the potential to increase the Company’s near surface resource base on the Thorne Property in Timmins. The Thorne Property currently hosts a NI43-101 compliant inferred gold resource of 400,000 ounces (4.0 mT grading 3.0 g/t gold) which was last updated in 1998 (Band-Ore Resources). Since the last resource calculation, 134 holes have been completed along the Golden River Trend by the Company and its predecessor.

Drilling has now intersected the West Zone for 1,050 metres along strike and at depths ranging from 30 to 320 metres. The Pond Zone has been intersected for 322 metres along strike and to a depth of 230 metres vertical. Both zones remain open to the west/southwest and down dip. Results from eight additional holes (five from the Pond Zone and three testing the down dip and along-strike extensions of the West Zone) as well as additional intercepts of the Lower Porphyry Zone (holes GW07-01 to GW07-07) remain pending.
