Highlights:

Previous work by Asarco (1960's) and Noranda (1980's) identified a 1.6 km long soil anomaly on Messina's Haven Steady property. The soil anomaly is zoned. The western portion is copper-enriched and extends 150 meters in length and is untested. The central portion is zinc- and lead-enriched and extends over 800 meters in length. Noranda tested the zinc-lead portion of the soil anomaly with twelve widely spaced drill holes of which six intersected economically interesting zinc-lead bearing massive sulphides over a strike length of 600 meters and to a vertical depth of 375 meters, and ten of eleven holes intersected wide zones of anomalous zinc-lead mineralization. The eastern portion of the soil anomaly is copper-enriched and extends 400 meters in length and is untested.

The Haven Steady zinc-lead massive sulphide prospect and associated Zn-Pb soil anomaly was documented by Noranda in the 1980's. Six holes drilled by Noranda intersected massive sulphide mineralization which assayed (from west to east, as reported by Noranda, 1990):

0.7% copper, 0.2% lead, 6.5% zinc over 1.0 meters (HS88-06)

0.1% copper, 2.7% lead, 9.8% zinc over 3.5 meters (HS88-07)

0.3% copper, 1.3% lead, 4.5% zinc over 2.1 meters (HS88-02)

0.9% copper, 1.3% lead, 6.2% zinc over 3.0 meters (HS88-03)

0.2% copper, 2.3% lead, 8.6% zinc over 2.0 meters (HS88-05)

0.1% copper, 6.3% lead, 4.1% zinc over 1.8 meters (HS86-87)

The Haven Steady prospect remains open at both ends going towards the two copper in soil anomalies, and at depth.

Messina's Haven Steady property is generative in nature and is at an early stage of exploration.
