SYMC 2006 Macktush Exploration Program Update
June 20, 2006 - SYMC Resources Limited ("SYMC" or the “Company”) (TSX-V: SY) wishes to provide the following update regarding its $270,000 Phase 1 gold-copper-silver-molybdenum airborne follow-up and diamond drilling programs underway on its wholly owned Macktush property near Port Alberni, B.C.
In early June, SYMC mobilized a prospecting team to begin following up on priority airborne electromagnetic anomaly targets on its Macktush Property. The initial target is the Rex Cluster, centred on the Rex MINFILE occurrence, where 8 of 9 electromagnetic anomalies located and sampled revealed 5-25% sulphide mineralization in altered volcanics and feldspar porphyritic intrusives exposed in outcrops and trenches over an area of 2 by 2 kilometres. This widespread mineralization could represent a sulphidic halo surrounding a porphyry type and/or a high sulphidation epithermal type deposit. The anomaly cluster is spatially related to positive magnetic and radiometric anomalies. A total of 65 bedrock samples, along with soil and stream moss mat samples, have been taken to date with analyses pending from Acme Analytical Laboratories (“Acme”). Four other electromagnetic anomaly clusters remain to be tested on the Macktush property, along with numerous isolated anomalies, many located near known mineral occurrences of sulphide-related gold, silver, copper and molybdenum.
SYMC has also mobilized a diamond drilling rig to test quartz-sulphide veins in the Fred Vein area on the Macktush property. The first of eight planned drill holes has been completed which intersected multiple quartz-sulphide veins and stringers, including the targeted Moly Vein. Additional holes are planned to test the Zinc, Jack, and Fred Veins which have been mapped and sampled in exposed trenches. Results from the drilling program will be reported as analytical results are delivered by Acme. The technical information presented in this news release has been reviewed and confirmed by Jacques Houle, P.Eng., a qualified person within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101.
