COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho, June 14 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- In April
2007 Metalline Mining Company, through its Mexican subsidiary
Minera Metalin, S.A de C.V., acquired the Dormidos concession
covering an area of 2326.0953 hectares. The Dormidos concession is
located about 4 km north of the town of Sierra Mojada, Coahuila,
Mexico and it is contiguous with other concessions owned by Minera
Metalin in the area. Mineral occurrences in the Dormidos concession
area are discussed under the heading of the Pena Blanca mineralized
zone in a report on the Sierra Mojada map sheet, published in May
2004 by the CONSEJO DE RECURSOS MINERALES, an agency of the Mexican
Government. The authors of the report, Ing. Magdaleno Hernandez
Velazquez and Ing. Abelaid Loera Flores, describe lead, zinc,
silver mineralization occurring in mantos and in karst-fillings in
the limestone and consider them as analogous to Mississippi Valley
type (MVT) ore deposits. Our geologists have completed a first
phase reconnaissance of the Dormidos concession area and
examination of prospect pits and small mine workings in the area.
Mineralized mantos and cave fillings (karst features) were
observed. These range in thickness from less than a meter to about
2 meters. Results of sampling are given in the table below. The
highest values observed are 321 gm/tonne Ag, 0.26% Cu, 22.5% Pb,
and 36.72% Zn. These highest values do not occur in a single
sample. We will conduct follow-up on these interesting results as
resources allow. The sample numbers with G prefixes are character
samples of rock chips of rocks considered to be interesting by our
geologists. Samples with M prefixes are samples from rock
stockpiles selected by historical prospectors. Samples with C
prefixes are channel samples that are cut to a strict protocol to
obtain a more reliable sample of the average rock composition. The
length of channel samples is given in the table. All samples were
analyzed in the Vancouver laboratory of ALS-Chemex. Four-acid
digestion and analysis by atomic adsorption spectroscopy were used.
Zinc values above 30% were confirmed by ALS-Chemex using volumetric
methods of analysis. ANALYTICAL RESULTS gm/tonne % % % Length
