COEUR D'ALENE, Idaho--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 19, 2006--Metalline Mining Company (OTCBB:MMGG - News) announced on June 1, 2006 that it had contracted World Wide Exploration S.A. de C.V. to conduct a 3,500 meter surface diamond drill program at Sierra Mojada, Coahuila, Mexico. The drill program objectives are to explore the western continuation of oxide zinc mineralization, the north side polymetallic, copper, silver, zinc, lead, targets and condemnation drilling of the plant and tailings disposal sites.

Metalline has contracted Layne de Mexico to conduct a 4500 meter reverse circulation drill program to explore for water and condemnation drilling. Developing water sufficient for the mine and plant is a critical element of the mine and plant feasibility study.
The diamond drill has completed 13 exploration holes totaling 2302.4 meters and 4 condemnation holes totaling 196.5 meters. Results for two of the holes have been received. D5060601 was drilled to twin Penoles' drill hole W200.6 drilled in the Iron Oxide Manto in the Encantada Mine and intersected 30.5 meters, 129 to 159.5 meters, that averaged 7.03% zinc, including 9.5 meters, 150 to 159.5, averaging 17.93% zinc. The hole terminated by intersecting an underground drill station in high grade mineralization.
Previous joint venture partners North Limited and Penoles drilled near surface oxide zinc mineralization located 2 kilometers west of the San Salvador mine and the Iron Oxide Manto block model resource. Metalline has drilled 7 holes totaling 1321 meters to further test this mineralization. North Limited drilled two reverse circulation holes and Penoles drilled 6 diamond drill holes in this area. D5060805 is a twin of North Limited's NSM24 and intersected 28 meters, 7 to 35 meters, of 3.72% zinc, including 5 meters, 24 to 29 meters, of 11.58% zinc. The importance of this west area mineralization is that it is within 7 meters of the surface and mining would be by open pit method with low mining cost.
The diamond drill has been moved to the Juarez Mine area, has completed the first hole on the copper, silver, zinc, lead mineralization and has started the second hole. Four holes are planned to test the lateral extent of mineralization mined in the Juarez stope. The Juarez mineralization was square set mined and up to 30 meters thick.
