Tamerlane Reports 11.2% Combined Lead-Zinc Over 32 Feet (10 Meters)

BLAINE, WA, July 25 /CNW/ - Tamerlane Ventures Inc. (TAM: TSX-V) announced today new assay results of drill holes that confirm historic mineralization of the M67 Deposit, and further high-grade lead-zinc mineralization at the Company's Pine Point property, located in the Northwest Territories, Canada.

Today's assay results are from three holes drilled at the M-67 deposit for the purpose of upgrading known historic resources to NI43-101 measured and indicated resources which can then be used for future feasibility studies. The Pine Point Property's remaining historical* resources total 50.9 million tonnes at a grade of 3.84% zinc and 1.24 % lead.

The M-67 Deposit is located along the main trend of the Pine Point District within an area of open pit mining conducted by Cominco from 1965 to 1987. M-67 is a shallow tabular deposit located at depths between 70 and 110 meters. *Historic resources indicated a remaining 1.5 million tonnes grading 5.6% zinc and 1.1% lead.

Tabular deposits are among the most common deposit types in the Pine Point District and are deposited in long sinuous karst caverns following underground streams. This style of mineralization has been mined successfully by both open pit and underground methods at Pine Point. Historically, a total of 13,480,900 tonnes grading 5.6% zinc and 1.7% lead have been mined in tabular deposits.

    
    *Note:  A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the
              historical estimate as current mineral resources, the issuer is
              not treating the historical estimate as current mineral
              resources and the historical estimate should not be relied
              upon.

    The assay results are shown below:

The results herein described have been prepared under the guidance of Ross F. Burns, P. Geo., LG, President of the Company, who is designated as a Qualified Person with the ability and authority to verify the authenticity and validity of the data. The drill program was carried out under the direct supervision of Mr. Wolfgang Schleiss, M.Sc. Samples and assay results for lead and zinc quoted herein were prepared by ALS Chemex of Vancouver, BC using industry standard assay techniques for ore grade lead and zinc mineralization.

Ross Burns, President & CEO, said: "We are extremely pleased with these results because they provide added confidence in the 50 million tonnes of remaining resources currently in the historic resource category."
