#15236 - Continues to Extend Gold-Silver-Lead-Zinc Mineralization Headline: Canplats Resources Corporation: Camino Rojo Drilling Continues to Extend Gold-Silver-Lead-Zinc Mineralization Symbol: CPQ VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Jan. 21, 2008) - Canplats Resources Corporation (TSX VENTURE:CPQ) is pleased to announce the results of six additional step-out drill holes in the Represa Zone of the Camino Rojo project in the State of Zacatecas, Mexico. This wholly-owned project is located 50 kilometers to the southeast of Goldcorp's Penasquito mine. Drilling continues to intersect broad intervals of gold-silver-lead-zinc mineralization, and has now successfully extended the known mineralization at the Represa Zone for at least 400 meters along strike and to a vertical depth of 175 meters. Significant drill intercepts include: - CR-07, collared 50 meters to the east of previously announced drill hole CR-03 (see news release of December 11, 2007) and inclined at -50 degrees to the east, intersected 211 meters averaging 0.92 grams gold per tonne, 15.52 grams silver per tonne, 0.31% lead, and 0.47% zinc. The bottom 59 meters of this hole intersected mixed oxide-sulphide mineralization grading 1.02 grams gold per tonne, 25.14 grams silver per tonne, 0.34% lead and 0.88% zinc. - CR-10, collared 150 meters to the east of previously announced drill hole CR-03 and inclined at -50 degrees to the west, intersected 195 meters averaging 1.03 grams gold per tonne, 13.96 grams silver per tonne, 0.30% lead, and 0.32% zinc, which includes 73 meters grading 1.61 grams gold per tonne, 10.66 grams silver per tonne, 0.38% lead, and 0.28% zinc. - CR-12, collared 250 meters to the east of previously announced drill hole CR-03 and inclined at -50 degrees to the north, intersected 234 meters averaging 0.61 grams gold per tonne, 20.02 grams silver per tonne, 0.33% lead, and 0.58% zinc, which includes 28 meters grading 1.02 grams gold per tonne, 26.66 grams silver per tonne, 0.48% lead, and 0.89% zinc. Recent step-out drill results are summarized in the following table: From To Interval(ii) Gold Silver Lead Zinc Hole No. (meters) (meters) (meters) (g/tonne) (g/tonne) (%) (%) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CR-07(i) 0 211 211 0.92 15.52 0.31 0.47 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- incl. 152 211 59 1.02 25.14 0.34 0.88 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CR-08(i) 0 192 192 0.44 13.15 0.39 0.32 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- incl. 177 192 15 1.07 26.01 0.17 0.41 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CR-09(i) 0 238 238 0.45 14.36 0.22 0.36 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CR-10(i) 0 195 195 1.03 13.96 0.30 0.32 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- incl. 42 115 73 1.61 10.66 0.38 0.28 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CR-11 0 199 199 0.32 11.38 0.19 0.29 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- CR-12(i) 0 234 234 0.61 20.02 0.33 0.58 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- incl. 26 54 28 1.02 26.66 0.48 0.89 (i) Hole ended in mineralization (ii) True width to be determined Maps of the drill program are available at the Canplats web site, canplats.com. Ten of the twelve drill holes that have now been reported at the Represa Zone are mineralized over their entire length and were stopped in significant precious and base metal values. Drilling is ongoing at the project and will focus on extending the oxide mineralization in all directions and testing for continuation of the sulphide mineralization below the oxides. Results will be released as they are received. Further drilling will be accompanied by expanded induced polarization (IP) and ground magnetic surveys to outline potential extensions to known mineralization and new targets in adjacent overburden covered areas. All work is being supervised by Ken McNaughton, vice-president, exploration, and a qualified person as defined by Canada's National Instrument 43-101 responsible for the Camino Rojo exploration program and has verified the data in the table above. All samples were submitted for preparation in Chihuahua, Mexico and analysis at its facilities in Vancouver, B.C. by ALS Chemex. All samples were analyzed using aqua regia digestion with ICP finish. All gold samples were fire assayed with an AA finish and all samples over 10 ppm gold were re-assayed using a fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Samples over 100 ppm silver were reanalyzed using four acid digestion with an ore grade AA finish. One in 20 samples was blind duplicate assayed at ALS Chemex in Vancouver, B.C.
