Silver City Minerals Limited announce preliminary soil results from the Austin Gold Project, located in the highly prospective Murchison greenstone province of Western Australia. The Austin Gold Project is located directly adjacent to the Cue Gold Project owned by Musgrave Minerals Limited which includes the high grade Break of Day Deposit and Starlight discovery. Shadow Target Area: Soil sampling commenced on the project occurred in June and August where a total of 450 samples were successfully taken in the northern part of the Shadow target area before work ceased due to commitments on the current drill program. The soil sampling was conducted at 100 m spacing across lines spaced 200m and 400m apart and subject to the ultra-fine fraction (-53 micron) soil sampling assay technique for extremely low-level gold and multi-elements designed specifically to detect subtle anomalies even where deeper soil cover may be present. The results of the survey are extremely encouraging and the initial review has highlighted four areas of strongly elevated gold-in-soil. The northern anomaly trends northwest and extends for at least 1,000m with elevated gold-in-soil values in excess of 4 ppb and up to 18 ppb Au and is open to the south and east. A number of reconnaissance surface sampling programs have also been conducted in the same area. Prospecting by the Silver City team has revealed extensive gold nuggets recovered over an area of approximately 750m and up to 300m, particularly in the northern area of soil anomalism. Some nuggets are angular and often occur within quartz veins indicating a bedrock source may be nearby.
