Two Exploration Corridors Identified At The Copper Hill Project

VANCOUVER – Manning Ventures Inc. has completed property scale geological mapping on the Copper Hill Project located within the Walker Lane Trend, southern Nevada. The geological mapping program identified four primary rock units within Triassic Luning limestone which was intruded by a Jurassic igneous complex which was then overlain by Neogene age Volcanic rocks and Quarternary aged unconsolidated gravels.  Comparison of the geophysical interpretations and surface geochemical sampling results announced previously with the current geological mapping indicates a series of west-northwest and northwest trending structural fabrics providing the primary controls to copper mineralization at Copper Hill. The northwest faults and associated magnetic and gravity linears represent structural breaks and pathways for mineralizing fluids as witnessed by the elevated copper values returned within these zones.

The mapping and compilation of all exploration data at Copper Hill outlines an untested, highly prospective, copper/gold bearing skarn target. Potential may exist for a porphyry type copper deposit to be found deep beneath Copper Mountain or beneath the covered southeast intrusive. Additionally, porphyry-related veins and local chloritic and sericitic alteration is found along these northwest trends.

Two exploration corridors termed the Northern Zone and the Southern Zone outline areas with over 1500 meters (>5,000 feet) of strike length which host significant, intense skarn alteration and elevated copper values (0.5 to >1.0% copper).
