Trevali Resources Corp. ("Trevali" or the "Company") (CNQ: TV)(PINK SHEETS: TREVF)(FRANKFURT: 4TI) is pleased to announce confirmation of significant high-grade silver-lead-zinc tailings material at Llacsacocha on the advanced-stage Santander mine project in the Cerro de Pasco District of west-central Peru.
Following eleven one-metre deep exploration pits on the Llacsacocha tailings -- averaging 2.3 oz/t (71.5 g/t) silver, 0.46% lead, 4.79% zinc and 0.18% copper (see TRC-NR-08-13 for details) -- the recently completed 19-hole percussion drill program was designed to cost-effectively ascertain whether sufficient material is present to potentially form a low-cost, high-grade feed for planned 2009 mining start-up at the Santander operation. Thirteen of the holes clearly intersected high to very high-grade silver-lead-zinc-copper tailings material from the original Santander open-pit.
