Foran Mining Corporation has announced results from its winter drilling program at the new Tesla Discovery approximately 300 meters north of its McIlvenna Bay Deposit 65 kilometers west of Flin Flon.  Highlight intercepts include 4.04 percent copper equivalent over 17.4 meters.

Foran’s Executive Chair and CEO Dan Myerson reports to date six holes drilled into Tesla have intersected significant base and precious metal sulphides. In total he notes these holes have tested only 300 meters of strike and 300 meters of the dip extent of the mineralized horizon which remains open in all directions.  He adds given the geophysical conductor extends 900 meters there is a significant amount of potential to identify large scale opportunities that can complement their existing McIlvenna Bay deposit.

Three drills are now located on the ice targeting expansion of the Tesla Zone and planning is underway for continued regional exploration during the summer on drill targets located both in proximity to McIlvenna Bay and on their Bigstone project 25 kilometers to the west.
