GEO MINERALS LTD. (TSX VENTURE:GM)(FRANKFURT:8G3) ("GEO" or the "Company")
announces the resumption of its drilling program with Inmet Mining Corp at the
Middle Mountain porphyry copper property in south central Arizona. Weber
Drilling (St. David, Arizona) has been contracted to complete two test drill
holes of 370 meters each (approx. 1,214 feet) using reverse-circulation drilling
methods to test for porphyry copper mineralization believed to be present in
extended and tilted structural blocks beneath shallow gravel cover and outcrops
exhibiting intense alteration and quartz-sulfide veining. 


The targets are defined by an induced polarization/resistivity (DC/IP)
geophysical survey completed by the Company (see news release, May 11, 2010), in
combination with surface geological mapping. Previous drilling by the Company on
the eastern portion of the property included three drill holes that intersected
intense sericite-pyrite alteration typical of the outer pyritic shell of a
porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit at depths of 207 meters (680 ft.), 151 meters
(498 ft.), and 24 meters (80 ft) (see news release, Jan. 8, 2009). 


The program is expected to take approximately seven days, after which the drill
rig will mobilize to the Company's Red Hills porphyry copper project, located
ten kilometers north of Middle Mountain.


GEO has an option agreement with Inmet Mining Corp. (INM-TSX) to explore the
Middle Mountain porphyry copper project, with GEO holding its interest under a
mining lease agreement with Eurasian Minerals Inc. (EMX-TSX:V) through its
wholly-owned subsidiary Bronco Creek Exploration (see news release, Nov. 17,
2009). Eurasian Minerals is acting as manager for the work programs at Middle
Mountain.
