ANGLO GOLD JOINT VENTURE PROJECT Metalline Mining Inc. is extremely pleased to announce the start of a 4000m diamond drilling program in August on its Ndjole and Mevang Exploration licenses in Gabon, Central Africa. The drill program will be conducted under the direction of our JV partner AngloGold Ashanti. The Ndjole and Mevang permits cover rocks from two adjacent sedimentary basins which comprise a sequence of deformed sedimentary and volcano-sedimentary units that are early Proterozoic in age. Three prospective zones for gold exist within these licenses; the La Mboumi, Ebel, and Mianga prospects, which are shown below. Following the signing of a Joint Venture with AngloGold Ashanti in late October 2009, Metalline staff, in consultation with experts from AngloGold, began an aggressive field campaign on the Ndjole exploration permit. Three large soil grids, each in excess of 10km x 5km in size and which comprised of over 2500 samples, targeted areas with known mineralization and favorable geology. Results from these grids were then followed up with 4 infill soil grids and targeted geological mapping aimed at better defining the anomalous zones. In a testament to joint venture’s team in Gabon, a total of over 13,000 samples have been taken in steep terrain and dense jungle since the start of the year. Figure 2 Location of the soil grids in the La Mboumi area (see A). To date the number of samples taken totals over 13,000 since the beginning of the year. Outline of the main gold anomalies identified (see B). Soil geochemistry has identified 3 main areas with significiant gold anomalies. Some of these zones form coherent gold anomalies above 50ppb over 5km in length, as well as numerous smaller ones. Figure 3 Gold results for rock samples taken from the La Mboumi East anomaly. All samples are from gold-arsenopyrite bearing veins. An outline of the gold results in the soils above 30ppb (yellow) and 100ppb (red) are also shown and have a good correlation with the gold results in the rocks. Continued detailed mapping is planned for this area to better understand the orientation and concentration of the veins in the area. Figure 3 The 4 planned drill traverses for the up and coming drill program. Drill lines 1 and 2 (see A) target the main "central anomaly" that is the site of the only previous drilling in the area. Unconfirmed results from these drill holes had intercepts of 3.5g/t over 10.5m and 2.3g/t over 6.5m. A summary of these drill holes is included below. Drill line 3 will target a gold anomaly on the western side of the La Mboumi area (see A), whist drill line 4 will target an area up in the Ebel region (see B).
