Copper at Madison Copper Gold Project Sampling

VANCOUVER - American Pacific Mining Corp reported results from a sampling program at the Madison Copper-Gold project in Montana. American Pacific has a joint venture earn-in agreement with Rio Tinto. A total of 26 rock chip samples were collected near the past producing American pit, which identified significant high-grade gold (Au) and copper (Cu) mineralization at the Madison Project. These samples were collected east of the American pit, known for high-grade Au-Cu skarn mineralization, where altered Rader Creek granodiorite outcrops dive under tertiary gravel cover. Six of the samples are described as skarn with disseminations of pyrite, pyrrhotite and chalcopyrite; these samples returned excellent values with up to 29 g/t Au, 1.52% Cu and 44.80 g/t Ag.

Another rock sample approximately 400 meters east of the American pit included native Au in a quartz vein, returning 12.65 g/t Au, 0.98% Cu and 11.20 g/t Ag. Samples were prepped in Elko Nevada, analyzed by ALS Chemex, in the Vancouver lab using Au-ICP21 for Au followed by Au-Gra21 when initial analysis returns >10,000 ppb Au, for Cu, ME-MS61L analysis was used. Duplicate samples, standards and blanks all fall within an acceptable range of accuracy meeting all data verification standards.
