West Melville Confirms High Grade Copper on the Alex Property, Sonora, Mexico
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - May 12, 2014) - West Melville Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE:WMM) ("West Melville" or "the Company") has completed an initial due diligence investigation on the Alex Copper Property (the "Property") located in Sonora, Mexico. Results are sufficiently encouraging for the Company to mount a follow-up field program which will commence immediately. The aim of the follow-up program will be to conduct a systematic surface sampling program over the main area of mineralization and to compile an initial property scale geological map.
"We are encouraged by our initial field visit to the Alex Property," stated Dr. Rory Moore, President and CEO of West Melville. "We were able to field confirm the presence of a series of copper oxide showings that occur over an area of at least 1,200 x 800 metres. Representative samples taken from several of these showings assayed between 3.2 and 4.6% Cu. In addition, significant primary sulphide mineralization (bornite, chalcocite / digenite and covellite) was discovered within epidote-bearing andesite that assayed 1.6% copper. The ubiquitous presence of similar epidote bearing andesite over large parts of the property opens up the potential for the discovery of a large mineralized system at Alex."
