TWIN MINING REPORTS FIRST QUARTER RESULTS TWIN MINING REPORTS ENCOURAGING
TORNGAT DIAMOND RESULTS AND METALLURGICAL DRILLING RESULTS FROM 100% OWNED
ATLANTA
Preparations for the 2003 exploration program on Jackson Inlet are
progressing well so that the Twin Mining diamond team expects to begin its
activities early in the second quarter.
Torngat diamond results from 15 grab samples were very encouraging. Higher
stone densities were discovered on two dike segments measuring 900 metres
and 400 metres in length. The largest stone extracted by caustic fusion
measured 2.90 x 2.50 x 1.80 millimetres. Lakefield Research describes the
diamonds as "very white, mostly transparent and of high preservation."
To advance the Torngat project, management is currently pursuing several
options, including joint venture participation while Twin Mining's diamond
exploration focus is on the large-tonnage-potential Jackson Inlet project.
The Atlanta project has made significant progress during the quarter, with
Twin Mining attaining a 100-per-cent operating interest in the project.
Assay results from metallurgical core drilling were very encouraging. Core
hole D02-1E11 in the western half of the Monarch orebody intersected 86
feet of 0.231 of an ounce per ton (7.91 grams per tonne) of gold including
36 feet of 0.481 ounce/ton (16.5 g/t) and 10 feet of 1.030 ounces/ton (35.3
g/t) of gold. Cyanide leach testing with 14 columns has meanwhile started
at the laboratories of Kappes Cassiday and Associates in Reno, Nev. Early
results after 44 days of leaching at the end of April, 2003, already show
very positive trends. The leaching will be carried out for a minimum of 120
days. The progressively increasing gold price, which has reached $382
(U.S.) during the quarter, makes the Atlanta project economically very
attractive, considering an estimated site cash cost of $166 (U.S.) an
ounce.
Twin Mining's financial position by the end of the quarter is solid with
more than $1-million in cash and short-term deposits.
