Apogee Channel Sampling at Buena Vista Finds More High-Grade Gold-Silver-Zinc-Lead Mineralization.TORONTO -- Apogee Minerals Ltd. (TSX TSX Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE before April, 2002) TSX Transfer from Stack Pointer to Index TSX True Space Extension VENTURE:APE) has received additional analytical results showing high-grade Gold-Silver-Zinc-Lead mineralization Mineralization The process by which the body uses minerals to build bone structure. Mentioned in: Rickets mineralization, n the bioprecipitation of an inorganic substance. from the program of underground channel sampling on previously mined drifts at the Buena Vista property in the Potosi district of southwestern Bolivia. Apogee has channel sampled the Rampa drift, which lies 125 metres northwest of the San Pablo San Pablo (săn păb`lō), city (1990 pop. 25,158), Contra Costa co., W Calif., on San Pablo Bay, a suburb of Oakland; inc. 1948. One of the oldest Spanish settlements in the region, the city is a commercial and medical center with light Adit adit (ăd`ĭt), in mining, underground passage excavated nearly horizontally, with one end open to the earth's surface, usually used to service a mine. The adit end is the furthermost end from the surface, i.e., the location where miners work. , where channel sample results have been recently reported (see press release dated August 12, 2005). The Rampa drift is 137 metres long and is between 20 and 40 metres below surface. The drift was systematically channel sampled over its entire length including declines and crosscuts. Significant assays have been returned from the channel sampling done from underground on the Rampa drift (See attached figure). A total of 35 channel samples have been taken with all the results included in Table 1 below. Some of the more significant assays include: - 4.10 metres of 5.8 g/t Gold, 10.7oz/T Silver, 26.1% Zinc and 8.6% Lead - 2.15 metres of 5.8 g/t Gold, 15.9 oz/T Silver, 8.7% Zinc and 7.3 % Lead - 2.00 metres of 6.1 g/t Gold, 26.6 oz/T Silver, 7.3% Zinc and 2.4% Lead - 1.40 metres of 5.3 g/t Gold, 13.7 oz/T Silver, 10.0% Zinc and 3.0 % Lead - 1.50 metres of 7.0 g/t Gold, 14.5 oz/T Silver, 5.2% Zinc and 2.3% Lead - 1.25 metres of 10.6 g/t Gold, 62.5 oz/T Silver, 10.0% Zinc and 6.6 % Lead The Phase I exploration program to date has tested the vein structure for over 800 meters to a vertical depth of 150 meters below surface. The program has included diamond drilling Diamond Drilling is a highly specialized industry used for mineral exploration around the world. Most commonly using wireline and core bits with diamond encrusted matrix. To drill holes to max depths of twelve thousand feet, for the recovery of core used in verifying mineral (6 holes totalling 1200 metres), surface trenching (10 trenches) and underground channel sampling (4 old workings). The structure ranges from less than 1.0 to 30 metres wide and is near vertical.
