rockerbanger, news out on your pick PLY-v: Playfair Mining releases San Miguel results Thu 26 Apr 2001 News Release Mr. D. Neil Briggs reports Playfair Mining has provided the follow-up results of conventional geochemical soil sampling of the northern part of the exceptionally large and high-magnitude E-1 anomaly on its 100-per-cent-owned San Miguel property in Mexico. The extensive E1 anomalous area is in fact two distinct large anomalies now known as E1-South and El-North. The E1-North anomaly begins about 1.6 kilometres north of the northern limit of the E1-South anomaly. Playfair discovered the outstanding E1 anomalies in the course of a regional exploration program using a relatively new technique, Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) geochemistry over a 1.2-million-hectare property in Central Mexico. The E-1 anomalies are about 15 kilometres southeast of the mining district of Charcas -- Mexico's largest zinc producer Currently mining underground at a rate of 4,500 tonnes of ore per day. Playfair's conventional soil sampling survey of the El-North anomaly is yielding extremely high values, comparable with those previously reported an the El-South anomaly (09 and 10). Twenty-four out of 25 soil samples over a 1,500-metre length of the East-West line 2553200N returned zinc values exceeding 1,000 parts per million, 14 of these samples show values greater than 5,000 parts per million zinc and five are greater than 1 per cent zinc with a maximum value of 5.7 per cent. Lead, copper and silver values are also extremely high over the same line interval. The highest silver value is 120.5 parts per million (equivalent to 120.5 grams per tonne or 3.51 ounces per ton). Details of the results are shown below.

Playfair has recently completed a $1-million financing and is well financed for the work in progress.
