Crew & Equipment Mobilised For Upcoming Drill Program At Copper Hill Project

VANCOUVER – Manning Ventures Inc. reported that crew and equipment have begun mobilization, and that it has commenced preparation work for the upcoming exploration program at the Copper Hill Project, located along the Walker Lane Trend, western Nevada. Drill pad construction is underway for three targets located in the Northern Zone. These first three drill targets (PDH-1, PDH-2 and PDH-3) are designed to address strong geochemistry, favorable structural zones while presenting logistical efficiency.

This phase one drill program will consist of up to nine Reverse Circulation (RC) drill holes totalling approximately 2,500 meters.  Drilling will test for skarn mineralization on the contact between the limestone and the intrusive for the Northern and the Southern Zones.  The two zones outline target areas that returned significant copper values (0.5 to > 1.0% copper) in intense skarn alteration.  The Copper Hill Project is comprised of 108 unpatented lode mining claims that cover 2,215 acres (896.3 Ha).

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).
