MIRAMAR CONTINUES TO DEFINE THE SIGNIFICANT NEW BN ZONE AT BOSTON
Miramar Mining Corp. is providing additional results from the 2006 drilling program at its Hope Bay project in Nunavut. Drilling at Boston continued to focus on the recently identified BN zone, located 400 metres north of the current resource base. To date, 13 holes have been completed on the BN target with nine holes reported (three holes previously reported). Assays for the four remaining holes completed prior to winter shutdown are pending.
The recent drilling was completed to evaluate the potential of the BN area to enhance the continuing development studies for a second phase of production at Hope Bay after the proposed Doris North mine. The work at the BN zone has focused on potentially identifying either a supplementary underground development area or a larger production centre which may be amenable to open-pit exploitation at Boston. The current resource at Boston as calculated and released earlier this year is 2,312,000 tonnes of 10.7 grams per tonne Au indicated and 2,431,000 tonnes of 9.5 g/t Au inferred. This resource does not include any drilling undertaken in 2006.
