Addition Of Historic Mary Anne Group Of Claims At Cherry Creek

VANCOUVER - Viscount Mining Corp. reported that it and Centerra Gold Inc. have agreed to acquire the Mary Anne group of patented claims located adjacent to the Cherry Creek Project in eastern White Pine County, Nevada. The agreement was signed with Southwest Land and Minerals Corp. of Reno, Nevada. The property is comprised of 24 patented claims commonly known as the Mary Anne claim group. The claims overlie the historic Mary Anne mine (production unknown). Please refer to the map below for the location of these claims. The mines were principally base metal sulfide plus silver/gold producers. Ore was developed on a mineralized quartz vein system at or near the contact between the Prospect Mountain Quartzite and the Cherry Creek Quartz Monzonite. The vein system is dominated by silver mineralization accompanied by values in copper, lead and gold. There are no current estimates of remaining reserve potential.

Mark Abrams, Viscount VP of Exploration, said, "These additional patented claims are an important addition to our district play at Cherry Creek. Non-compliant historic sampling suggests mineralization may extend from the mined veins into the quartz monzonite wall rock. This presents the potential for bulk tonnage mineralization in addition to vein targets in the area of the historic mines. The property history is quite unique in that both Presidents Roosevelt and Taft signed the patent documents for some of the claims."
