NEWS - Hinterland to drill recently acquired Raney Gold Property, Ontario

Posted by: AGORACOM on November 06, 2007 09:26AM

VAL-D'OR, QC, Nov. 6 -  Hinterland Metals Inc. (TSXV:HMI) is pleased to announce that it has reached an arms-length agreement to acquire the “Raney” gold property located some 130km southwest of Timmins, Ontario.  Hinterland has secured a drill that will be mobilized to the property in mid-November to test two known surface showings as well as several geophysical targets.   

The property is located in the Archean Swayze Greenstone Belt and is underlain by felsic to intermediate volcanic and feldspar porphyry intrusive rocks.  Two surface showings have been identified to date.  The first showing has returned grab samples up to 8.6g/t Au from quartz veins and up to 1.0 g/t Au from altered rock adjacent to the quartz veins.  A single drill hole completed in 1999 by the property vendor returned 3.4g/t Au over 6.8m.  Re-sampling of this drill intersection returned a similar result of 3.9g/t over 5.9m.  The second showing is found roughly 250m southwest of the first and is marked by strongly sheared feldspar porphyry.  Historical values up to 27g/t Au have been reported from quartz veins at this showing but no significant gold values have been returned from the adjacent altered, sheared wall rock.

Under the terms of the agreement Hinterland has the option to earn a 100% interest in the property for $90,000 cash and 300,000 treasury shares scheduled over a two year period subject to a two-part production royalty (the “Royalty”) consisting of a 2.5% Net Smelter Returns royalty on smeltable materials and a 2.5% Gross Overriding Receipts royalty on diamonds.  Hinterland will have the right to buy back the first 1.5% of the Royalty for $1,500,000 and will have the right of first refusal on the remaining 1.0%.  The agreement is subject to approval by the Hinterland’s Board of Directors and by regulatory authorities in compliance with applicable securities legislation.
