TABJ - May 26 - Vancouver-based Tumi Resources Limited today reported that diamond drilling has commenced at the Vitturn Prospect in Sweden.

Tumi Resources owns 100 per cent of three claims known as Vitturn 1, 2 and 3 that are located at the northern end of the Stollberg mineral fields where numerous old base metal and silver mines occur along a north-south trending belt over a distance of 12 kilometres. The Stollberg mines were in operation for close to 800 years and had reached depths of more than 750 metres when they were closed in 1982.

Tumi Resources completed an induced polarization survey to test the theory that the favourable mineral horizon extends northwards under till cover into Vitturn 1 and 2.

An independent geophysicist has interpreted the results on behalf of Tumi Resources, reporting, “The data quality for the survey is of a very high standard with both the observed resistivity and chargeability data very coherent. The most obvious feature delineated by the data is the coincident high chargeable-low resistivity body that strikes in NNW orientation for approximately 400 metres.

“The correlation of the elevated chargeability and the low resistivity, with the good levels of data quality and the high coherency of the chargeability decays makes this a high priority anomaly.”

David Henstridge, President of Tumi Resources, said in a statement, “The presence of this anomaly along strike from the Stollberg field makes it a high priority drill target, and we are pleased that we will be able to test the source of this anomaly with the first drill hole.”
