Marifil Mines Ltd.: First Drilling Results from Cerro Samenta
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Jun 12, 2014) - Marifil Mines Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:MFM) ("Marifil" or "the Company") announces it has received partial drill results from its Cerro Samenta porphyry copper project in Salta Province, Argentina.
Marifil's partner, Southern Copper, completed a Phase I diamond core drill program of 8 holes totalling 2,795 meters on April 20, 2014. All drilling was done in the North Zone of the property. The holes tested a hydrothermally altered multiphase granodiorite porphyry intrusive and breccia complex. The drill hole statistics are shown in Table I, and a location map is appended.

All of the drill cores (HQ size) have been sawed in half with one half sent to Alex Stewart Labs in Mendoza for assaying. The remaining core record is warehoused. The copper assay results for DDH SAM 1 & 3 are complete. Receipt of the drill core copper assay results for all the other holes are pending with the exception of DDH SAM 4 which is complete to 142.00 meters depth. Copper mineralization of various intensities is present in portions of the pending assay intervals. The drill core samples are of two meter intervals taken continuously down the hole. No assays have been received for molybdenum or precious metals. The status of the assay results for the 8 drill holes are presented in Table II. Results for only those intervals that are considered to be significant are shown.
