Dia Bras: Significant Exploration Potential at Bolivar.MONTREAL -- Dia Bras Exploration (TSX TSX Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE before April, 2002) TSX Transfer from Stack Pointer to Index TSX True Space Extension VENTURE:DIB (1) (Directory Information Base) Also called "white pages," a database of names in an X.500 system. (2) (Device Independent B ) is pleased to announce that the company has received the Bolivar field report from Lawrence D. Meinert, Ph. D. Conclusions of Dr. Meinert are that the Bolivar district has significant exploration potential and prospects for further exploration success are high. Dr. Meinert is a worldwide known expert on skarn deposits. He visited and worked on many on the major skarn deposits in the world and have worked as a consultant for numerous companies and governmental organizations. He wrote more than 100 papers in the scientific literature. He is also the editor of Mineralium Deposita, one of the premier international journals in the field of Economic Geology. After spending 22 years at Washington State University Washington State University, at Pullman; land-grant and state supported; chartered 1890, opened 1892 as an agriculture college. From 1905 to 1959 it was the State College of Washington. , Dr. Meinert is currently Professor of Geology at Smith College, Massachusetts. Dr. Meinert recognizes the Bolivar system to be a Cu skarn system with high Zn in distal regions, as opposed to a Zn skarn system. This has several implications for exploration and development in that Cu skarn systems can be much bigger than Zn skarn systems and have greater lateral continuity with many known examples greater than100 Mt. Cu skarns associated with porphyritic por·phy·rit·ic also por·phy·rit·i·cal adj. 1. Of or containing porphyry. 2. Containing relatively large isolated crystals in a mass of fine texture. Adj. 1. intrusions can be even larger with several known examples such as Bingham, Morenci, and Santa Rita in the 500 Mt range. Features such as brittle fracture and collapse brecciation cemented by quartz, epidote epidote Any of a group of colourless to green or yellow-green silicate minerals with the general chemical formula A2B3(SiO4)(Si2O7)O(OH), in which A is usually calcium (Ca) and B , and sulfides recognized at La Increible mine are similar to some porphyry Cu deposits in Sonora, Mexico. In order to better understand the skarn system at Bolivar, mineralogical study will be performed by Dr. Meinert. This study will be the foundation of the next exploration program in the Bolivar district.
