San Roque News!
Vancouver, BC -- February 2, 2011 -- Marifil Mines Ltd. (TSXV: MFM) ("Marifil" or "the Company") announces that NovaGold Resources Inc. ("NovaGold") will begin drilling on the San Roque property in March 2011. NovaGold has received all necessary drilling permits and the drill contract is in place.
San Roque is a 70,000 hectare property containing a large sulphide system defined by an induced polarization ("IP") survey and widespread drilling over an area measuring at least 3 kilometres by 4 kilometres. This area is the site of a coincident lead-zinc-gold-silver anomaly in soils. Marifil believes this mineralization lies within a collapsed caldera or diatreme (a breccia-filled volcanic vent formed by gaseous explosives) structure. Base and precious metal mineralization occurs throughout the sequence of volcanic rocks and also extends into the older underlying basement schists.
"Marifil is modeling San Roque's sulphide system after that of Goldcorp's Penasquito deposit in Mexico, which contains over 18 million ounces of gold and a billion ounces of silver," stated Richard Walters, Executive Vice-President of Marifil Mines. "We are excited to see the drill program moving ahead and look forward to seeing the results later this year."
