Lions Gate Metals Inc. announced that, the results from seven more holes from the twenty-nine hole, 10,913.93 metre, phase-two diamond drill program at the Poplar Copper-Gold-Silver Porphyry Property indicate the presence of an entirely new silver-focused mineralized system just north of the NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource area 1.4 billion lbs copper; 245,000,000 tonnes averaging 0.27% Cu - 0.15% cut-off, and, highlight impressive copper equivalent values in the East Zone. See Poplar Deposit map for resource area and drilling locations. Holes 11-PC-112 and 11-PC-113 were stepped out to the west and east of Hole 11-PC-95, which was located some 180 metres north of the main porphyry target area. Hole 11-PC-95 returned 571 metres of 3.11 g/t silver. Holes 11-PC-112 and 11-PC-113 were drilled to test airborne anomalies defined by the Aeroquest Helicopter-Borne Electromagnetic and Magnetic Survey, completed in 2009. Hole 11-PC-112 was collared approximately 80 metres east of 11-PC-95 and returned 31.75 metres of 4.96 g/t silver, and Hole 11-PC-113 was collared almost 325 metres to the west of 11-PC-95 and returned 75.15 metres grading 11.71 g/t silver. Both holes are mineralized over their entire lengths and remain open laterally and to depth. Hole 11-PC-117, which returned strong copper, gold and silver values, including 133.42 metres of 0.53% CuEq including 4.46 g/t Ag, really confirms the higher grade potential of the north-central portion of the Poplar Deposit. These holes are mineralized over their entire lengths, and this portion of the East Zone remains open to the northeast and to depth. The Program, completed in November, 2011, was designed to test and extend the limits of mineralization of the Poplar deposit, expand tonnage, increase grade of copper, and qualify to standard significant gold and silver content not included in the current NI 43-101 inferred resource of 1.4 billion lbs copper; 245,000,000 tonnes averaging 0.27% Cu (0.15% cut-off), but indicated by previous drilling.
