Mustang Provides Project Update.TORONTO -- Mustang mustang [Sp. mesteño=a stray], small feral horse of the W United States. Mustangs are descended from escaped Native American horses, which in turn were descended from horses of North African blood, brought to the New World by the Spanish c.1500. Minerals Corp. (TSX TSX Toronto Stock Exchange (TSE before April, 2002) TSX Transfer from Stack Pointer to Index TSX True Space Extension VENTURE:MUM) today provided an update of the exploration program at the Maskwa Mayville Project located in the Bird River Greenstone Belt Greenstone belts are zones of variably metamorphosed mafic to ultramafic volcanic sequences with associated sedimentary rocks that occur within Archaean and Proterozoic cratons between granite and gneiss bodies. located 150 km from Winnipeg Manitoba. The current phase of drilling at the M2 is nearing completion with exploration drilling on regional targets scheduled to commence shortly. M2 Zone Drilling To date a total of 67 drill holes have been completed on the M2 Zone over a strike length of approximately 1,200 meters. Drill results up to hole 58 have been announced and drill core from holes 59 to 67 have been sent for assay. The drill hole locations of the pending holes are noted on M2 Long Section map at the Mustang website. Results will be released when available. An additional 7 holes are planned to complete the current phase of drilling at M2. Proposed drill hole locations are shown on the Mustang website (see M2 Long Section link on home page). The deepest hole drilled in the next phase will be at approximately 300 meters vertical. It will be located west of hole May-16 which returned 76.3 meters grading 0.75% copper and 0.26% nickel including 33.4 meters grading 1.06% copper and 0.33% nickel. Regional Exploration Drilling Following the completion of the holes at M2 an exploration phase of drill holes are planned to test regional exploration targets identified by a Geotech VTEM survey flown by Mustang in 2005. Several prominent EM conductors have been identified and are planned to be tested in the current phase. No previous drilling has been completed on any of these airborne targets. Additional Geophysical Surveys Geophysical survey refers to the systematic collection of geophysical data for spatial studies. Geophysical surveys may use a great variety of sensing instruments, and data may be collected from above or below the Earth's surface or from aerial or marine platforms. Planned. Mustang controls an extensive land position in the Bird River Greenstone Belt including the north limb of the belt which contains the M2 Zone and the south limb of the belt which includes the Maskwa Deposit. A heliborne hel·i·borne adj. Carried or transported by helicopter: heliborne troops. EM survey is planned to be flown over areas not previously covered by modern geophysics geophysics, study of the structure, composition, and dynamic changes of the earth, its atmosphere, hydrosphere and magnetosphere, based on the principles of physics. , including the Anson Lake Property that has a prominent EM conductor from an airborne survey flown in the 1970's. Bird River Project The Bird River Project remains highly prospective for open pit bulk tonnage and higher grade nickel, copper and pgm 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. . To date exploration at the M2 Zone has encountered wide zones of near surface copper nickel mineralization and high grade occurrences of copper nickel and pgms in drill core. Mustang controls the project 100% subject to NSRs and a minority interest in Mustang's subsidiary, Maskwa Nickel Chrome Mines Limited, which owns an interest in the Mayville Property.
