Significant Sulphide Body At Santander Project

VANCOUVER, BC - Trevali Resources Corp. reported that diamond drilling has confirmed the presence of a significant sulphide body at the Magistral South zone on its Santander silver-lead-zinc project located in the Cerro de Pasco region of west-central Peru. Additionally, drilling continues to intersect broad zones of silver-rich polymetallic mineralization at the Magistral Norte zone located approximately 700 metres to the North.
Hole SAN-046 targeted the down-dip extension of massive sulphide mineralization successfully intersected in SAN-42 at Magistral South. The hole intersected 165.2 metres at 3.24% zinc within which 56.45 metres returned 6.79% zinc, 0.67% lead, 0.8 oz/t (26 g/t) silver, 0.1% copper and 0.5 oz/t (16.3 g/t) indium -- including 30.5 metres at 10.23% zinc, 0.32% lead, 0.6 oz/t (18.6 g/t) silver, 0.12% copper and 0.9 oz/t (27 g/t) indium. It is a highly instructive hole as it demonstrates the presence of bulk-tonnage grade base metal mineralization with significantly higher grades present in the Magistral Sur pipe proper which has an estimated true thickness of approximately 35-37 metres at its pierce-point.
A total of 84 diamond drill holes have been completed to date of which the Company has received assay results from the first 46 holes.
The current drill program at Santander represents the first modern exploration on the property and is designed to test the Magistral zones to approximately 200 metres vertical depth. The majority of the holes have intersected significant sulphide mineralization. Mineralization remains open at depth in all 3 bodies. Property-scale structural reconstructions and comparisons with the old Santander Pipe indicates the Magistral zones have very significant additional depth potential conservatively interpreted to range from 300 to 500 metres vertical extent. Drilling is in progress.
