Silvore Fox Minerals Corp. reports that it has entered into a contract with Aeroquest International Ltd. (“Aeroquest”) to conduct a comprehensive airborne geophysical survey over the Corporation’s flagship Coxheath copper porphyry property in Nova Scotia, Canada. Aeroquest will fly a 462 line-kilometre survey of high resolution Aero TEM IV MAG-TDEM and Radiometrics over areas of interest encompassing the Corporation’s mineral claims at Coxheath.

In addition, the Corporation has also contracted CGI Controlled Geophysics Inc. (“CGI”) to manage this airborne program on behalf of the Corporation. CGI has extensive experience with modern geophysical techniques, data processing, project management and geophysical interpretation.

This phase of the exploration program, as per the Corporation’s Press Release dated May 28^th, 2010, is designed to provide new geoscientific information to help further the understanding of the mineral potential of the property. The results of the survey will aid in delineating the potential size and scope of the property’s structural framework and associated copper, gold, silver and molybdenum mineralization. In addition, the survey will provide important information on highly prospective and underexplored areas of the property, including the newly expanded, contiguous mineral rights. Follow-up field-work will focus on ground-truthing the results of this survey and the integrated data will be applied to develop a diamond drilling program that is anticipated to begin in September 2010. The details of the diamond drill program will be released at a later date.

“I am optimistic that the results of this survey will greatly advance our understanding of the geology and mineralization at Coxheath,” states Harry Cabrita, President and CEO. ”It will further enhance the efficiency of the exploration program that will have the assessment of economic significance as its primary objective.”

MacDonald Mines Exploration Ltd.  announces that it has finalized an agreement to acquire 100% of the Hornby and Pender Properties, located in the “Ring of Fire” area of the James Bay Lowlands, with Temex Resources Corp. An exploration update follows the agreement details below.

The Hornby Property

MacDonald Mines Hornby Property is located contiguous to the KWG/Spider “Big Daddy” chromite deposit. The Company believes, based on a total review of its airborne survey and historical exploration data, that the Hornby Property has the potential to host the extension of the Big Daddy deposit.

The Property also exhibits prospective volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) (copper, zinc and lead) geophysical targets and is on same stratigraphy as Spider/KWG McFauld’s Lake VMS discovery. Historical drilling in the proximity of this prospective target intersected VMS mineralization.

Exploration Update

As detailed in the Company’s recent press releases, MacDonald Mines has several significant mineral opportunities across multiple properties in the James Bay Lowlands. The spring 2010 drill program consisting of 26 holes, 4,471 meters and focused on the McNugget Property and identified new VMS mineralization of substance on four fold limbs.

A summary of the highlighted drill holes reported were as follows;

Copper (Cu)

• Hole MN10-102 intersected 1.03% over 15 metres
• Hole MN10-111 intersected 1.04% over 5 metres
• Hole MN10-90 intersected 1.11% over 5 metres

Zinc (Zn)

• Hole MN10-104 intersected 3.3% over 9 metres
• Hole MN10-106 intersected 2.55% over 4 metres
• Hole MN10-110 intersected 2.82% over 5 metres
• Hole MN10-102 intersected 2.5% over 3 metres
• Hole MN10-104 intersected 2.00% Zn and 0.88% Cu over 6 metres

Silver (Ag)

• Hole MN10-87 intersected 13.32 g/t over 5.3 metres
• Hole MN10-94 intersected 16.56 g/t over 4 metres
• Hole MN10-102 intersected 11.67 g/t over 3 metres
• Hole MN10-104 intersected 11.97 g/t over 3 metres

Final assays from this last phase of drilling are pending and will be reported once they have been received and reviewed by the Company.

This large VMS system, which is open in all directions and yields VMS mineralization over a potential cumulative strike length of approximately 20 kilometres, was described by consulting geologist Hadyn R. Butler, P.Geo, as potentially being a new VMS camp.

Next Phase of Drilling to Commence Early September With 2 Drills

Crone Geophysics’ down-hole and surface EM system was employed in the previous phases of exploration, assisting in the discovery of the four VMS mineralized fold limbs, and will again be utilized for the upcoming drill program for drill target control.

The Company will continue to operate two drills for this upcoming drill program and will focus on the positive results from its successful spring 2010 drilling program on the McNugget Property.

Targeting Nickel and VMS on McNugget Property

VMS

The pyrrhotite-chalcopyrite-sphalerite-pyrite mineralization observed in the core of the McNugget property is indicative of VMS mineralization. The pattern of chlorite and sericite alteration, coupled with varying Cu/Zn ratios and alteration index plots from available geochemistry, indicates that there are at least three separate hydrothermal discharge vents/centres found within the same stratigraphic horizon of a large fold complex (McNugget).

Sulphide mineralization observed in drill core generally appears between footwall metasediments and hangingwall felsic volcanics, a lithologic sequence indicative of a Bimodal-Siliciclastic VMS environment.

Based on alteration mineralogy, geochemical vector analysis and 3-D geophysical modelling, it appears that the significant VMS mineralization intersected to date is peripheral to the volcanic centres (sources).

The Company’s current information is pointing to the Fold Nose found on the property as the most immediate prospective appreciable VMS mineralization. A surface and airborne electromagnetic (EM) survey are currently underway on the Fold Nose – and these results will direct the drilling program.

Nickel

The highest priority nickel target on the McNugget property remains to be in the vicinity of MN07-39. A completion of the airborne magnetic and EM, and Noront Resources’ recent image of the Eagles Nest indicates that the same magnetic horizon extends from the Noront discovery through the McNugget property – adjacent to MN07-39. Prior to further drilling, this area will be investigated further using the following geophysical techniques – VTEM and AeroTEM IV, magnetics, and Crone Geophysics surface and down-hole pulse EM system.

Shear Minerals Ltd. today announced the discovery of the new high interest SAZ kimberlite float and the commencement of the $500,000 exploration program at the Chesterfield Inlet Diamond Project, Nunavut in partnership with Rio Tinto Exploration Canada Inc. (“Rio”) and Stornoway Diamond Corporation.

Already completed this year is a 2,346 line km ultra-high resolution airborne magnetic geophysical survey over two priority blocks by Aeroquest.  A total of 33 priority targets have been chosen as large tonnage kimberlite targets.  A 10-person experienced crew is currently at the Josephine Lake Camp and will follow up targeted anomalies on the ground. A total of 7-10 high priority targets will be tested using a lightweight reverse circulation percussion drill (tests one target per day).

“The goal for this project in 2010 is to discover new kimberlites with large tonnage potential. The discovery of the new SAZ kimberlite float suggests the presence of high diamond potential kimberlites in the Chesterfield area,” said Pamela Strand, President and CEO of Shear Minerals Ltd. “With drilling now underway we hope to quickly confirm whether a target is a high diamond potential kimberlite to warrant further follow-up.”

SAZ Kimberlite Float
The SAZ kimberlite float was discovered by prospecting in a series of nine frost boils within a 65m area. The kimberlite fragments are weakly magnetic, angular and are believed to be proximal to the source. Visually the kimberlite is described as being ‘typical’ of the high diamond potential kimberlites at Churchill (“Type B”) with large olivine macrocrysts, green-blue phlogopite and visible pyrope garnets.  Samples have been collected for diamond analysis by way of caustic fusion as well as petrography. Plans are to review the geophysics with continued prospecting in this immediate area.

About the Project and Shear Minerals
The Project comprises a group of 35 mineral claims (70,000 acres) located within and near the North Corridor of the larger Churchill Diamond Project.  The Project area is located approximately 15 km north of the Josephine River Corridor.  This area covers the North Corridor, an indicator mineral dispersion area based on till samples from 2003-2006 having high count probe-confirmed kimberlitic indicator minerals including pyrope garnet, eclogitic garnet, chrome diopside, ilmenite and chromite.

Preliminary results have been received from the AeroQuest airborne electro-magnetic and magnetic surveycommissioned in February 2010, and completed in March. The survey used AeroQuest’s helicopter borne AeroTEM IIsystem. The survey was carried out on 50 meter line spacing using a GPS navigation system with 5 meter or better accuracy, and a radar altimeter with +/- 1.5 meter accuracy. This resulted in very accurate survey positioning and detailed survey coverage.

Preliminary survey results were processed by GeoVector Management Inc. of Ottawa, and four excellent targets have been defined. These include discrete EM anomalies that could indicate massive sulphide bodies as well as structural targets for gold defined from the magnetics.

The airborne electro-magnetic and magnetic targets include:

1. A 7 km long, intermittently conductive trend broadly coincident with base metal anomalies defined from a 1990 Asarco overburden drilling program. Asarco drilled 116 reverse circulation drill holes over a total strike length of 14 km along this trend. Heavy mineral concentrates defined in two areas of the Asarco program, approximately 2 km apart, were highly anomalous in gold (up to 6000 ppb). In addition in the same area a soil survey carried out by Kerr Addison Mines in 1984 reported scattered gold (up to 150 ppb) and copper anomalies (up to 690 ppm) over a 10 km strike length.
2. An 8 km trend of strongly linear magnetic signature that may indicate a shear zone. This inferred shear zone (the Brennan structure), occurs over the Brennan Au showing discovered in 1936. The most recent work on the Brennan showing in 1991 exposed the zone over a strike length of 575 meters. The gold-bearing quartz vein reportedly produced a 50 lb composite bulk sample assaying 0.49 oz./ton Au. Examination of the magnetic signature suggests that the best part of this target area is along a 4 kilometre strike length west of historical work in an area of overburden cover which has not been previously prospected or trenched.
3. A series of very intriguing discrete EM anomalies to the north of the Brennan structure. In particular one set of anomalies occur on an inferred structure that intersects the Brennan structure in the favourable area noted above.
4. At the inferred intersection of the two structures noted above, the Brennan structure magnetic signature is disrupted and diminished in intensity amplitude. The structure begins to display EM conductors where it previously was electro-magnetically quiet. This may indicate sulphidation related to Au mineralization of the structure at this point. EM conductors appear intermittently along approximately 2 km of this area of intersecting structures.

It is anticipated that the detailed airborne survey coverage will allow targeting of future drill holes directly off the airborne survey data, thereby saving the time and expense of completing follow-up ground geophysical surveying. Current work proposals include an immediate program of reconnaissance mapping and prospecting on the promising targets defined above prior to recommendations for drill targeting. In addition a program of IP surveying on non conductive and potentially prospective segments of the Brennan structure may be required. This work will be facilitated by the excellent access to the property along Highway 801 from Highway 11. From the 801 a major logging road, The Auden Road, passes through the entire length of the property. Highland is eagerly anticipating the initial ground exploration on this promising property.

The airborne geophysical survey  will be a time domain electromagnetic and magnetic survey (Aeroquest) covering 2,572 line kilometres on the Poplar Project. The Survey, which will take approximately 10 flying days to complete, has already begun. The Survey is dependent on weather, but is expected to be completed sometime in late November or early December of this year.

LGM has also completed a deep induced polarization program. The data collected is currently being analyzed and interpreted by Insight Geophysics Inc.

The purpose of these surveys is to look for undiscovered extensions of the Poplar Deposit. Using the Poplar as a model, LGM will search for similar deposits hidden under the glacial till. With the information obtained, LGM will determine targets for future drill programs as well as continuing to explore and develop the rest of the property.
