Andover Mining Corp. announced that the mobilization for its 2012 drill program at the SUN project, the company's 100% owned copper-silver-lead-zinc-gold VMS (Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide) prospect in the Ambler Mining District of Alaska USA is underway. The company's 100% owned SUN property is located on approximately 36,800 acres of land at the Eastern end of the Ambler Mining District in Northwest Alaska. The Ambler District, as recognized by Metals Economics Group. Airbridge Engineering of Indian, Alaska has been retained to provide the mobilization for Andover for 2012. This work program began in mid-May and includes annual refurbishment of the Company's camp; moving in all camp supplies, drill equipment and fuel for the camp, aircraft operations and fixed-wing aircraft support throughout the program; and demobilization of both the drills and camp. Andover maintains a 25-man camp at the SUN project consisting of living quarters, a core-logging facility, geological office, mess facility, shower and laundry facilities, generator, shop and tool storage, indoor and outdoor core storage and a 1500-foot airstrip. John Spencer has been retained to perform the duties of Camp Manager for the 2012 season. The 2012 program has a preliminary budget of approximately $3.5 million USD and is anticipated to run from May until September 2012. The 2012 SUN drilling program with the NQ2 core drill will be an estimated 21 hole, 19,000 foot, drill program designed to further extend and delineate the Main SUN Deposit and to extend and further test the S.W. SUN Deposit. The Main SUN Deposit and the S.W. SUN Deposits have had 76 drill holes or approximately 49,000 feet of historic drilling. Andover drilled 27 of these 76 holes; the other drill holes were done by previous operators, including Anaconda, Noranda, Sunshine Mining Company, Cominco and Bear Creek Mining Company, (Kennecott/Rio Tinto). Andover has signed a contract with Core One Drilling Inc. of Delta, Colorado, to provide two drill rigs for the 2012 drill season. One rig will drill NQ2 diameter core focused at the Main SUN and S.W. SUN Deposits. The second drill, a man portable drill, will drill BTW core on some of the company's exploration targets.
