Manning Reports Promising Results from Copper Hill Mine

Manning Ventures Inc. has received geochemical results from ALS Global for rock samples collected during its geological mapping on the Copper Hill Project, located within the Walker Lane Trend in Yerington.

The geochemical analysis revealed elevated values, particularly from sample CHR-9, which returned 2.01 percent copper, 0.263 grams-per-ton gold, and two grams-per-ton of silver. These samples were from a chip taken from a three-by-three-foot outcropping. Additionally, rock samples CHR-11 to CHR-13, taken from mine dumps on adjacent claims, returned copper values of 1.74 percent, 2.03 percent, and 4.77 percent, respectively.

Sample CHR-9 displayed 2.01 percent copper, .298 parts per million gold, and two parts per million silver. Sample CHR-11 showed 1.74 percent copper, .223 parts per million in gold, and three parts per million in silver.

Sample CHR-12 contained 2.03 percent copper, 0.257 parts per million gold, and 2.30 parts per million silver. Finally, sample CHR-13 reported 4.77 percent copper, 0.659 parts per million gold, and eight parts per million silver.

Before Manning’s current exploration program, 50 rock chip samples from historic mine dumps, prospect pits, and outcrops were collected. The samples returned copper values ranging from 10 to 136,500 parts per million and gold values from .005 to .33 parts per million.

The data collected during the spring 2024 mapping program has been added to the historic rock sampling into the property’s database. The Company has accumulated substantial pre-drill data and is in the final stages of planning an initial drill program at Copper Hill.
