A correction is issued with regard to the release disseminated at
9:00 am ET on December 8, 2009, for Full Metal Minerals Ltd.
Reference to Kinross has been removed from the title. The complete,
corrected release follows.
Full Metal Minerals (TSX VENTURE: FMM) is pleased to announce
the results from the 2009 drilling program at the Russian Mountain
Project in western Alaska. In August and September 2009, the
Company completed an initial core drilling program totaling 1,308
meters in 13 holes, testing multiple gold-silver-copper bearing
structures.
Significant grades were returned from the Owhat structure
highlights include:
- M-01: 8.59 g/t Au, 185.6 g/t Ag and 6.03% Cu over 1.01 meters
true width
- M-02: 5.35 g/t Au, 150.0 g/t Ag and 9.97% Cu over 0.94 meters
true width
- M-09: 8.59 g/t Au, 680.0 g/t Ag and 10.35% Cu over 0.52 meters
true width
Mineralization in Russian Mountain volcanic complex consists
primarily of several intrusive hosted zones of polymetallic
gold-silver-copper-arsenic mineralization with elevated amounts of
Sb, Sn, Zn, Bi, Pb, W, U, and Co. Six prospects are currently
recognized on the Russian Mountain project; three of which were
drill tested during 2009 (Owhat, Louise, Headwall).
At the Owhat prospect, six drill holes were completed, testing a
200+ meter long vertical structure hosting multiple historic
prospect pits and adits. Gold-silver-copper-arsenic mineralization
was encountered in all holes, associated with quartz-tourmaline
veining. Drill hole RM-01, which intersected 8.59 g/t Au, 185.6 g/t
Ag and 6.03% Cu over 1.01 meters true width and RM-02, returned
5.35 g/t Au, 150.0 g/t Ag and 9.97% Cu over 0.94 meters true width
were completed from the same set-up, with mineralization associated
with massive chalcopyrite and arsenopyrite mineralization. Holes
RM-03/04, and RM-08/09 were drilled on 100 meter and 75 meter
step-outs to the northwest and southeast respectively. Anomalous
gold-silver mineralization was returned within the Owhat structure,
including 8.59 g/t Au, 680.0 g/t Ag and 10.35% Cu over 0.52 meters
true width in drill hole RM-09.
Drill holes RM-12 and 13 tested the projection of the Owhat
structure, associated with a magnetic anomaly 250 meters southeast
of RM-01 and 02, but did not return significant values.
Drill holes RM-05, 10 and 11 tested the Louise structure,
located 125 meters southwest of Owhat. Hole RM-05 did not return
significant mineralization, and holes RM 10 and 11 were abandoned
before the target depth due to poor ground conditions.
