New Tech Minerals Corp. announce results from a recently completed rock-chip sampling program conducted on its La Escondida Silver Project, Sonora, Mexico. A total of 167 rock-chip samples were collected, principally across three east- to northeast striking sub-parallel veins that have exposed lengths of 400 to 800 metres and vary in width from 1 to 3 metres. The veins dip steeply to the south, are separated by 70 to 250 metres, and occupy a zone of 400 metres north to south. Stockwork and vein breccia zones are present along the veins, and a prominent alteration zone, over 20 metres wide, encompasses a significant portion of the Central vein. Samples widths varied from 0.5 to 5.0 metres. On the Central vein 105 rock-chip and dump samples were collected along its 800+ metre exposed length. A total of 58 samples returned assays greater than 15 g/t silver(Ag) with ranges as follows: 9 samples that assayed 282 to 1,150 g/t Ag, 16 samples that assayed 95 to 200 g/t Ag, 13 samples with 45 to 89 g/t Ag, and 20 samples from 15 to 43 g/t Ag. On the Southern vein located 70 to100 metres south of the Central vein, 35 samples were collected along its 550 metre exposed length, including samples from historic workings and dumps. A total of 17 samples returned Ag values greater than or equal to 15 g/t, with ranges as follows: 5 samples containing 310 to 754 g/t Ag, 8 samples with 90 to 270 g/t Ag, 1 sample between 45 and 90 g/t Ag, and 3 samples with 15 to 21 g/t Ag. A group of 21 samples were collected from the Northern vein Silver contents were anomalous with a maximum assay of 11.9 g/t Ag.
