Mantis Mineral Corp. announced the high grade gold values from its follow-up trenching program on its 100% owned Cree Lake gold project, where recent drilling discovered a new incipient quartz stockwork system carrying significant gold values along substantial drill hole widths. Recent drilling returned a weighted average result of 2.053 gpt along a 15.5-meter cored interval, including assays as high as 11.55 gpt from hole CL09-6. Trenching conducted immediately west of hole CL09-6 along a 50-meter length exposed bedrock that exhibits a zone of intermittent quartz veining and shearing over a 10-meter width hosted in volcanics. Spot cut* and grab samples within this zone, yielded a 46% return of samples with significant gold values ranging from 0.61gpt to 43.2 gpt. The average gold grade for these samples is 6.467 gpt. These results significantly increase the gold mineralization potential of the Cree Lake property. They continue to confirm that the volcanic host rock is mineralized by a series of veins related to the incipient stockwork vein system intersected 50-meters to the east in hole CL09-6.

Mantis Mineral Corp. announced the discovery of an incipient quartz stockwork system carrying significant gold values along substantial drill hole widths. The new discovery is located 150-meters northeast of the Main Trench and intersected the gold bearing zone at very shallow depths. Assay results within the gold bearing zone in drill hole CL09-6 have returned a weighted average result of 2.053 gpt along a 15.5-meter cored interval. The intersection occurs from 5.5-meters to 21.0-meters which includes a high grade assay of 11.55 gpt. The centre of the zone lies at an estimated vertical depth of 7.6-meters. Holes CL09-7 drilled on section with CL09-6, but collared 20-meters north, intersected the zone at a vertical depth of 15.5-meters. A 14-meter interval which correlates with the zone intersected in CL09-6, returned the following significant assay results; 1.42 gpt over 1.0-m, 1.29 gpt over 1.0-m, 0.832 gpt over 1.0-m, 0.678 gpt over 0.8-m, and 0.615 over 1.0-m. The intersection demonstrates the continuity of the zone at shallow depths leaving the discovery open at depth and along strike. Five holes drilled under the high grade Main Trench where recent channel cut samples returned assays in excess of 38 ounces per ton, intersected the main shear of the Flint Rock structure at 30-meters and 60-meters vertical depths. Anomalous gold values were encountered. This new discovery significantly increases the gold mineralization potential of the Cree Lake property. The system hosts gold grades not unlike those initially encountered at West Timmins Mining Inc.'s and Lakeshore Gold Corp.'s Thunder Creek property, where initial intercepts graded 0.82 gpt over 25.6-meters. The spatial association of producing gold mines and gold mineralization with regional breaks or faults is well established in the gold camps of Ontario. For example, the Destor-Porcupine fault associated with the Timmins camp, the Kirkland Lake-Larder Lake break associated with the Kirkland Lake camp and the Ridout deformation zone associated with the Swayze area. The Ridout deformation zone, a 130-kilometer long structure with which the Cree Lake fault is associated, hosts past producers such as the Jerome Mine, Tyrranite mine, Kenty Mine as well as numerous gold showings.
