)(FWB (Fixed Wireless Broadband) See fixed wireless. :C4Z), CityView Corporation is pleased to announce the results of its Phase 1 sampling programme at the Longonjo Project, Catabola Prospect, Angola.

The results of this first phase are seen as significant, as they confirm the presence of a potentially major mineralised system at Catabola. Grades of copper and gold, especially from rock chip sampling, are highly encouraging. The results also largely substantiate the information contained in the report "Estudio Geologico-Mineiro de la Region de Cuma-Caquete" (the Spanish Report"), recently acquired by CityView. This report, for example, details the recovery of approximately 24kg of gold from alluvial exploration just 150m south of the main Catabola prospect.

Phase 2 exploration is now underway at Catabola. A team of geologists are currently on the ground, and in the last few weeks have re-opened, entered and sampled the old workings. The results of this sampling will give more definition to the mineralization Mineralization

 and allow for detailed drill hole planning. In addition, the sizeable volume of information contained in the "Spanish Report", is currently being captured in digital format, and this will allow for the development of a 3D geological model, which in turn will assist in accurate drill hole planning.

The drilling programme is expected to start towards the beginning of July. This will initially consist of approximately 3,000m of diamond drilling and will take approximately three months to complete.

The primary function of the Phase 1 field programme was to complete a soil and rock chip sampling programme over the Catabola prospect area allowing the accurate delineation of the potential mineralization, with a view to defining potential drill targets.

Catabola is a vein type Cu-Au prospect consisting of a series of shear zone hosted copper-gold quartz veins apparently bounded by barite-magnetite quartz veins. In the late 1940's - early 1950's there was extensive investigation of this mineralisation and this is evident today as series of narrow trenches and audits (29) and shafts (7), along a strike of approximately 1.6km.

The soil sampling programme for Catabola consisted of samples taken on a 100m x 50m grid. A duplicate sample field sample was taken randomly every ten samples and a standard sample added every 30 samples. A total of 1076 samples were taken, including 108 duplicates and 35 standards. In addition to the soil sampling, a total of 107 channel samples from a selected 14 historical trenches, including 8 duplicates and 3 standards and six grab samples were taken.

The results from this sampling programme indicate the potential for a sizeable Cu-Au (Ag) deposit at Catabola. They can be summarised as follows:

Copper

Copper grades up to 9.9% have been recorded from the rock chip sampling programme. The average copper grade of rock chip samples with visible copper mineralization (oxidised Adj. 1. oxidised - combined with or having undergone a chemical reaction with oxygen; "the oxidized form of iodine"

) is 2.62%.

The copper mineralization consists of veins of fractured or brecciated brec·ci·ate

Widths of mineralisation would appear to be in the range of 5-10m. The visible surface copper mineralization extends for at least 450m along strike.

Gold

Gold grades of up to 1.3 g/t have been recorded from the rock chip sampling programme.

The gold mineralization is intimately associated with copper mineralization and would appear to consist of two stages; a first generation of quartz with gold-bearing pyrite pyrite (pī`rīt) or iron pyrites (pīrī`tēz, pə–, pī`rīts), pale brass-yellow mineral, the bisulfide of iron, FeS2.  (associated with chalcopyrite and chalcocite) and a second generation associated with open space filling (resulting in the development of coarse, visible gold). This gold mineralization is widespread across the Catabola prospect area and can be traced for over 1 km of strike length.

Other

As well as copper and gold, anomalous silver mineralization has been recorded at Catabola. Grades of up to 7.9 g/t have been recorded from rock chips.

Some uranium enrichment has been observed also. Higher results include over 40 ppm uranium, mostly (but not always) in samples showing high copper values. This enrichment seems to be associated with the mineral torbernite tor·bern·ite

In general terms, CityView regards the results from the Phase 1 field programme as both significant and encouraging. CityView is committed to a major exploration programme at Catabola, and looks forward to the results of Phase 2.
