Lucky Minerals Inc. announced it has received soil sample Geochem results from its ongoing work at the Wayka high sulfidation epithermal gold discovery at its 100% owned Fortuna Property in southern Ecuador. A total of 1,027 soil samples were taken along a 50 x 50 meter grid at Wayka. The total grid area covered approximately 2.44 km2.

A total of 191 soil samples were assayed at ALS Chemex Labs and 836 soil samples were assayed at Bureau Veritas Labs. All Geochem results have been received and two large anomalous gold areas in the northern section of Wayka have been outlined. For gold in soils, a threshold value of 0.020 ppm was determined.

Samples in the survey included values ranging from 0.001 up to 1.43 ppm gold. Approximately 37% of the samples were found to be anomalous covering an area of approximately 1.19 km. Anomalous area "A" measures approximately 700 x 400 meters and lies approximately 950 meters NE of trenches 5,6 and 14.

Soil gold values in this area range from 0.035 up to 1.43 ppm gold. Please see map below. Anomalous area "B" measures approximately 425 x 300 meters and lies approximately 540 meters NNW of trenches 5,6 and 14.

Soil gold values in this area range from 0.031 up to 0.19 ppm gold. Field work, including targeting, continues in preparation for the upcoming first 3,000-meter phase of drilling. Targeting will be informed by the following: a. Soils; b. Alteration mapping of Wayka project area; c. geophysics; d. trenches; e. Structural analysis of Wayka area; f. Prospecting on anomalous areas.
