October 25, 2006 - SYMC Resources Limited ("SYMC" or the “Company”) (TSX-V: SY) is pleased to announce interim results from its ongoing 2006 work program consisting of prospecting of airborne geophysical targets, and diamond drilling programs of previously known targets on its wholly owned Macktush Property near Port Alberni, B.C.
Initial geochemistry results and re-assay results have been received by SYMC from Acme Analytical Laboratories (“Acme”) for 175 of 245 rock samples, plus additional soil and stream sediment moss mat samples taken from four airborne electromagnetic anomaly clusters (Rex, Cous, West and Macktush) by SYMC’s prospecting crews since June 2006. Soil samples from all areas and all sampling from the Macktush cluster have yielded only low values. Several rock samples and some moss mat samples from the Rex, Cous and West clusters have yielded elevated values in molybdenum, copper, silver, arsenic and/or gold. Highlights received to date from selected rock grab and representative outcrop chip samples are as follows:
| Re-assay | High | lights | |||
| Cluster | Sample No. |
Sample Description |
Cu % | Au g/t | Ag g/t |
| Rex | 312718 | trenched quartz-sulphide vein with 30% pyrite |
1.79 | low | 7.5 |
| Cous | 312719 | trenched skarn vein fragment in fault zone |
4.45 | 5.63 | 22 |
| Cous | 312720 | 1.0 m. rep. outcrop chip of sulphide skarn vein |
2.20 | 1.19 | 39 |
| Cous | 312722 | 1.2 m. rep. outcrop chip of limestone footwall |
1.35 | 0.66 | 16 |
| Cous | 343778 | float boulder of quartz-calcite- sulphide vein |
2.83 | low | 4.0 |
| Cous | 343856 | float boulder of quartz-sulphide vein |
low | 5.55 | 2.0 |
| West | 343652 | float boulder of magnetite-sulphide skarn |
1.37 | low | low |
The Rex Cluster continues to yield intriguing outcrop exposures containing abundant pyritic stockwork veins and intense alteration within a geological setting of mixed volcanics and porphyritic intrusives over an area of 3 by 2 kilometres. Some stockwork veins containing visible chalcopyrite mineralization have been recently discovered and sampled by SYMC’s prospecting crews, from which preliminary analyses are pending. Modeling of the 2005 aeromagnetic data suggests the presence of a larger (5 by 3 kilometres) elliptical magnetic high feature which has been displaced by right lateral north-south faulting. A notice of work has been submitted by the Company to the B.C. Ministry of Energy and Mines for up to 25,000 metres of diamond drilling in two phases.
The West Cluster is centred 3 kilometres west of the Rex Cluster and 3 kilometres south of the Cous Cluster. Prospecting is planned to follow up the mineralized float boulder in sample 343652 from the West Cluster. The South Cluster is centred 3 kilometres south of the Rex Cluster, with preliminary prospecting planned as well. The Macktush Cluster is centred on the Fred and David Vein systems, 3 kilometres east of the South Cluster.
Geochemistry results have been received by SYMC from Acme for five diamond drill holes which targeted the parallel Zinc and Jack quartz-sulphide veins in the Fred Vein system, located 300 metres southwest of the David Vein target tested in 2005. Three holes successfully tested the Zinc Vein (MZ-06-01, MZ-06-02 and MZ-06-03) and two successfully tested the Jack Vein (MJ-06-01 and MJ-06-02), but all yielded only low metal values, as follows:
| Drill Hole |
Target Vein | From | To | Interval | Au g/t | Ag g/t | Cu % | Zn % |
| MZ-06-01 | Zinc Vein |
41.0 | 42.4 | 1.4 metres |
0.334 | 1.100 | 0.006 | 0.197 |
| MZ-06-02 | Zinc Vein |
56.3 | 56.9 | 0.6 metres |
0.717 | 0.300 | 0.002 | 0.047 |
| MZ-06-03 | Zinc Vein |
64.3 | 66.3 | 2.0 metres |
0.240 | 0.500 | 0.019 | 0.005 |
| MJ-06-01 | Jack Vein |
66.9 | 67.2 | 0.3 metres |
0.352 | 0.100 | 0.001 | 0.003 |
| MJ-06-02 | Jack Vein |
