Cristobal Resources Inc.: Excellent Results on Luminara Property (Peru).MONTREAL--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 10, 1997--(ME CTV.) CRISTOBAL RESOURCES INC. is pleased to announce another gold discovery on its LUMINARIA lu·mi·nar·i·a n. 1. A votive candle set into a small, decorative paper bag weighted with sand and placed in a row with others along a walkway, driveway, or rooftop as a holiday decoration. Also called regionally farolito. 2. property in Peru. The new mineralized min·er·al·ize v. min·er·al·ized, min·er·al·iz·ing, min·er·al·iz·es v.tr. 1. To convert to a mineral substance; petrify. 2. To transform a metal into a mineral by oxidation. 3. zone, called "Rurimarac hill", is constituted of disseminated gold in a sericitized and oxidized oxidized having been modified by the process of oxidation. oxidized cellulose see absorbable cellulose. diorite diorite Medium- to coarse-grained igneous rock that commonly is composed of about two-thirds plagioclase feldspar and one-third dark-coloured minerals, such as hornblende or biotite. , crosscut with high-grade gold arsenopyrite veinlets stockwork. A landslide, affecting approximately 0.5 km2 of rock, exposed part of this mineralized zone along the main sliding plan that has a south- southeasterly south·east·er·ly adj. 1. Situated toward the southeast. 2. Coming or being from the southeast. south·east trending with a dip ranging from 30 to 40 degrees. The exposed part of the mineralized zone is 700 meter-long by 50 to 150 meter-wide, and has a minimum thickness of 18 meters. Four (4) trenches were dug perpendicularly to the length of the zone where two meter-long channel samples were collected from the trench. Their gold content was determined by fire assay at the SGS laboratory in Lima, Peru, and returned the following values: -0- TRENCH Au g/t LENGTH LUT-97-01 4.80 38 meters LUT-97-01A 4.98 50 " LUT-97-02 1.47 12 " LUT-97-07 3.05 18 " The mineralization Mineralization The process by which the body uses minerals to build bone structure.

Ecology The distribution of organisms in biogeographic zones. , from the "Road Zone" (see map) to the "Rurimarac hill" located 200 to 300 meters higher, is typical of low sulfidation epithermal gold deposits. In these deposits, high-grade veins merge into disseminated gold at their upper part. The important argilitic alteration had weakened the diorite, which is one of the causes for the landslide that affected the above-mentioned gold mineralized zone. Cristobal is planning a second phase of trenching and channel sampling works to assess the extent of the mineralized zone. Drilling works will follow in order to evaluate the thickness of this new zone. CONTACT: Cristobal Resources Inc.
