LANDIS CONFIRMS HEAVY MINERAL DEPOSIT
Landis Mining Corp. has provided the results of a sampling program conducted on its Two Rivers mineral project. The Two Rivers mineral property consists of a 100-per-cent interest in 49 mineral exploration claims covering approximately 1,960 acres or six kilometres of the Shubenacadie River, Nova Scotia. The width of the river within the claims is up to 500 metres and is subject to a strong tidal bore.
The objective of the sampling program was to confirm that the heavy mineral deposit in the Shubenacadie River system continues to depth. This sampling program covered a length of six kilometres of the Shubenacadie River. The results confirm the continuation of the heavy minerals to depth.
Each sample represents the top one metre of sand, and was taken by a manpowered Dutch auger. The samples were then analyzed at Dalhousie University, Mineral Engineering Centre (Daltech), Halifax, N.S. The area sampled at low tide resembles a tidal flat, as it consists of flat sand from bank edge to bank edge, with the river comprising approximately 10 per cent of the total width at low tide. Depth of the sand is unknown.
The average heavy mineral grade of the samples tabled below are 2.86 per cent. Landis sandbar 1, graded 3.46 per cent heavy minerals and is located at Landis claim boundary, directly upstream of Titanium Corp. sandbar 12. The heavy minerals do not appear to be confined to, or concentrated in, the top one metre of sand. However, the above samples confirm only that the heavy minerals are present on the Landis claims to a metre depth. No samples were taken from sandbars 2, 3 and 6.
Results from sampling taken form sandbars within the river system are as following:
