Foran Mining Corporation recently released assay results from 14 holes drilled on their Bigstone Project approximately 25 kilometers west of the McIlvenna Bay deposit 65 kilometers west of Flin Flon.  Drilling focused on both the Bigstone Deposit and the Marconi prospect which is located 500 meters to the east. They report a highlight intercept of 21 meters of 3.6 percent copper equivalent at Bigstone and a Marconi target now 900 meters in strike length and open in all directions.  Their Executive Director and CEO Dan Myerson states these results continue to underpin their strategy to explore and discover near mine opportunities under a centralized milling scenario. He adds they continue to intercept high grade copper and zinc mineralization but recent work outlines a substantial opportunity to also uncover extensive anomalous gold zones.

The Company plans to drill seven holes and approximately three thousand meters at Marconi this summer to further test and better define the historic mineralized horizons with a summer drill program at Bigstone set to begin this month.
