Southern Hemisphere Mining Limited reported that a second infill program has confirmed and added gold to the new Southern Porphyry target in the South of the project area as an oblong copper/gold in soil anomaly with a footprint similar to the Central Porphyry and shows a robust +500ppm copper in soil contour with a peak value of 0.22% (2,232ppm) copper in soil. The core 1,000ppm copper contour extends for approximately 200m in a NNW direction. The Southern Porphyry gold assays show a robust, coincident +40ppb gold in soil anomaly associated with the copper in soil anomaly with a peak value of 240ppb gold.

As previously reported the anomaly is spatially associated with a large circular magnetic high which is interpreted to be a porphyry signature. Details of the work are as follows: Infill soil sampling is typically 100m spaced sample lines and 25m sample spacing. The soils are analysed by an Olympus Vanta ‘M series' Pxrf.

A comparison with 210 Laboratory Copper analyses showed excellent agreement with an R2 value of 0.99. An appropriate standard and blank are analysed for each batch of approximately 20 samples and demonstrate the instrument is reading within acceptable tolerances. The Company geologists are currently completing geological/structural mapping in the area of the Copper in soil anomaly to better understand the area.

Further exploration work continues to target new opportunities for copper/gold resource expansion. Background information on southern hemisphere mining: Southern Hemisphere Mining Limited is an experienced minerals explorer in Chile, South America. Chile is the world's leading copper producing country and one of the most prospective regions of the world for major new copper discoveries.

The Company's projects include the Llahuin Porphyry Copper-Gold Project, the Colina 2 Gold/Copper prospect near Llahuin, and the Los Pumas Manganese Project, all of which were discovered by the Company.
