PHOENIX, AZ–(EMWNews – July 15, 2008) – Tombstone Exploration Corporation (
is designed to intercept two of the major producing structures in the
mining district, the Bonanza and Santa Ana veins. The Target Zone is
estimated at 800′ and the hole is planned to reach 1,100′. Around 550′,
manganese oxide stringers and veins were intercepted. Manganese oxides are
the silver carriers in the mining district.
Hangingwall and footwall around this zone exhibit strong silicfication in
the limestone host rock unit and discreet pyrite dissemination. From 650′
down the hole, silicfication appears pervasive with patches of chlorite and
epidote alteration assemblage with strong pyrite content, disseminated and
in stringers, as well, in places over 3%. Discreet manganese oxide
veinlets are frequently in this length. Rock unit is predominantly a
massive limestone intruded by a thin feldspar porphyry dike at 700′.
In a recent Commodities Research report by Mangoba Madinane of Standard
Bank, crude oil price increases and the ailing greenback are attributed to
the increase in precious metal investment. Silver has been shadowing gold
and closed at $18.71 in New York Friday and broke through the $19.00
resistance band Monday.
Alan Brown, President and CEO of Tombstone, stated, “Recovery has been
excellent at 95% due to the use of the Triple Tube Technology. All core is
being boxed and assays will be done for Ag (silver), Au (gold), Cu
(copper), Pb (lead) and Zn (zinc). We will continue to provide updates to
the investment community and are encouraged by the drilling program’s
results thus far.”
Tombstone Exploration Corporation (TMBXF) is structured and positioned to
capitalize on today’s increasing demand and prices for precious metals and
base metals such as copper, lead and zinc. Tombstone Exploration
Corporation has the mineral rights to approximately 13,500 acres of
historical mining land in the areas around Tombstone, Arizona. The Company
is the largest land holder in the Tombstone mining district. Through
expansion, Tombstone Exploration will acquire new properties, as well as
integrate the extraction of precious and base metals. The goal is to
produce metals and minerals below standard industry costs.
