messina seems to be doing a slow creep upwards. not much volume, but also a very thin float. Now that the financing is done and the drills turning, any good showings and this one could pop. If you look at the yearly chart it is ugly up until sept/oct of this year when some steady buying seem to start. if it can break above .29/.30 it's pretty much blue sky from there. have been doing some buying in the .25/.27 range. mike

Preliminary results are in and the potential here looks excellent.The additional staking is a very positive indication and if the first drill hole locations were chosen carefully then the next set of results should be exciting to the market especially if you consider how small the float is. Worth keeping an eye on. phpi Messina finds gold mineralization zone in Tulks South Messina Minerals Inc MMI Shares issued 10,017,180 Dec 15 close $0.275 Tue 16 Dec 2003 News Release Mr. John Pallot reports NEW GOLD DISCOVERY AT "EAGLE ZONE" Messina Minerals has discovered a significant new zone of gold mineralization on the Tulks South property, central Newfoundland. Messina is earning a 100-per-cent interest in the Tulks South property from Noranda. Prospectors discovered visible gold within quartz veining at the Eagle zone in mid-November. Subsequent sampling and mapping by Messina has identified a major shear zone hosting several generations of quartz veining containing gold associated with intense silicification, sericitization and carbonate alteration occurring over approximately 150-metre width. The gold-bearing quartz veins have been traced over a strike length of 1.4 kilometres to date. The alteration continues in sporadic outcrops for at least another 4.4 kilometres coincident with airborne geophysical anomalies. Weather has prohibited further sampling along strike. Gold-bearing quartz veins within the 1.4-kilometre strike length examined to date are concentrated, but not limited, to a five-to-10-metre-wide subzone within the larger alteration envelope. Grab samples taken of in-situ quartz veining within the subzone have yielded 17 gold assays between 5.5 grams per tonne (g/t) and 56.5 g/t gold from five outcrops where this subzone is exposed. Visible gold has been identified in one sample not sent for assay and retained as a hand specimen. Quartz vein samples taken outside of the subzone within the alteration envelope contain geochemically anomalous gold concentrations up to 2.3 g/t gold. Messina has recently staked mineral lands totalling 100 claims covering 2,500 hectares along an additional 11-kilometre corridor to cover areas the company believes are prospective for similar mineralization. Messina plans a four-to-five-hole diamond-drill program to commence in January designed to evaluate the Eagle zone gold mineralization. Notes Gold assays were performed by Eastern Analytical Labs of Springdale, Nfld., using a standard half assay ton fire assay method. Duplicate check assays performed on seven samples above 10 g/t Au have been assayed using a one assay ton fire assay method, which yielded comparable results within acceptable limits. The Tulks South property work is being supervised by Peter Tallman, PGeo, president of Messina Minerals, and the qualified person for this project.
