Linear Metals Intersects High Grade Copper-Silver

TORONTO, ON - Linear Metals Corporation reported results from the first seven holes of a 2,800 metre reverse circulation drill program at its Cobre Grande Project located in Oaxaca, Mexico. All seven holes were located in the Northwest Skarn Zone and five of the seven holes bottomed in mineralization. The Northwest Skarn Zone is located approximately 500 metres west of the Main Zone Mineral Resource which is host to a 43-101 resource estimate of 49.8 tonnes at an average grade of 0.92% copper equivalent and accordingly, these results represent a new discovery, outside of the existing resource. Highlights from the most recent results include:
- CGRC-15 46.0 metres of 1.46% copper equivalent (1.14% copper and 21.8 grams per tonne silver) in a copper-enriched partially oxidized zone, bottoming in mineralization; and
- CGRC-17 32.3 metres of 1.37% copper-equivalent (0.87% copper and 68 grams per tonne silver) in a copper-enriched partially oxidized zone, bottoming in mineralization, including:
- 2.3 metres of 7.59% copper equivalent (6.26% copper and 191 grams per tonne of silver), at the bottom of the hole.
These seven holes are the first holes drilled in the Northwest Skarn Zone following discovery hole CG-68, previously announced on May 13, 2008, which returned 228 metres of 0.91% copper equivalent. All results received from the Northwest Skarn continue to validate Linear's exploration model and confirm the exceptional exploration potential of the Cobre Grande Project. A diamond drill rig is expected to arrive at the project before month-end and aggressive follow-up exploration of the Northwest Skarn Zone is a top priority.
