Trueclaim Announces Significant Copper Mineralization at Arizona Silver Project
June 02 2011 - 1:53PM
Marketwired
Trueclaim Exploration Inc. ("Trueclaim") (TSX VENTURE: TRM)(OTCQX:
TRMNF) is excited to report that recent examination of several old
workings on the Richmond Basin Silver Property (the "Property") has
revealed two new anomalous areas of gold, copper and silver
mineralization. These locations are located approximately 2.4 km.
south of the McMorris silver mine shaft. Selected assays from these
two areas of surface grab samples collected from Trueclaim's claims
within the Richmond Basin area are shown in the first table below.

further anomalous values of both copper and silver, as shown in the

The Black Copper Vein mineralization trend, occurring near the
contact of a limestone unit and a Tertiary aged quartz diorite, was
followed along strike and had at least 2 old shafts and other
workings over a linear strike distance of 400 metres. The total
strike distance and width of the mineralization still remains to be
determined. A pinch and swell vein up to 4 metres wide of massive
black mineralization was observed near the southwest workings.
Samples were collected from the material extracted from the old
workings at two sites about 300 metres apart as shown in the map
above. Additional workings with similar mineralization and
malachite were observed along the southwest extension of the strike
at several areas for about 100 meters along the side of a hill.
Mineralized float was observed further along strike to the
southwest. The initial sampling was facilitated by copper
indications given by Trueclaim's hand held X-ray Fluorescent unit.
Due to the dark colour and fine grained nature of this
mineralization polished sections will be made to identify the
minerals present.

The presence of significant copper values near a
limestone-Tertiary Age diorite contact is significant in light of
the nearby Tertiary aged world class copper porphyry deposits of
the Globe Miami areas approximately 14 kilometres to the south.
Also in the area are former copper-gold producers having "vein
replacement" mineralization similar to that of the Black Copper
Vein. Two examples are the Christmas Mine located 37 kilometres
south of the Black Copper Vein and the Old Dominion Mine located 14
kilometres south of the Black Copper Vein. Both the Old Dominion
Mine and the Black Copper Vein mineralization include a common NE
vein orientated structure and grades of up to 6% Cu with associated
gold values. The map below shows the relationship of structure and
copper porphyry mines in Arizona. Further mapping of the Richmond
Basin is now being undertaken under the direction of Nick Barr, a
local Arizona Geologist on contract with Trueclaim.
The following map shows the copper porphyry trends in Arizona
and the location of the Richmond Basin:

The Barr float sample was found about 700 metres east of the
Black Copper Vein. This sample consists of a dark grey submetallic
mineral with abundant malachite staining in a fractured matrix of a
clay altered quartz diorite. Further mineral identification work is
forthcoming.
Based on the above new mineralization, applications for
additional claims have been made. Quotes for a high resolution low
level helicopter geophysical survey over the area are also being
solicited. Additional assays will follow.
We seek safe harbour.

Technical information in this news release has been reviewed by
Robert Komarechka, P. Geo. and prepared in accordance with Canadian
regulatory requirements as set out in National Instrument 43-101.
Company Management, which takes full responsibility for content,

This news release contains "forward-looking information" (within

"propose", "project", "outlook", "foresee" or similar words
suggesting future outcomes or statements regarding an outlook. All
statements in this news release, other than statements of
historical facts, which address future production, reserve
potential, exploration activities, financing plans, objectives or
goals, and events or developments that the Company expects, are
forward-looking statements. Since forward-looking statements
address future events and conditions, by their very nature, they
involve inherent risks and uncertainties. Such forward-looking
information or statements are based on a number of risks,
uncertainties and assumptions which may cause actual results or
other expectations to differ materially from those anticipated and
which may prove to be incorrect. Assumptions have been made
regarding, among other things, management's expectations regarding
its ability to complete its exploration and development work as
expected. Actual results could differ materially due to a number of
factors, including, without limitation, operational risks in the
completion of the Company's continued development work, technical,
safety or regulatory issues, market prices, exploitation and
exploration successes, continued availability of capital and
financing, and general economic, market or business conditions.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in
the forward-looking information or statements are reasonable,
prospective investors in the Company's securities should not place
undue reliance on forward-looking statements because the Company
can provide no assurance that such expectations will prove to be
correct. Actual results or developments may differ materially from
those projected in the forward-looking statements, as assay
intervals might not necessarily represent true width. Such risks
include expectations that may be raised by discussing potential
mine types and by comparing the Company's projects to other
projects. Also, in order to proceed with the Company's exploration
and acquisition plans, additional funding is necessary and,
depending on market conditions, this funding may not be forthcoming
on a schedule or on terms that facilitate the Company's plans.
Forward-looking information and statements contained in this news
release are as of the date of this news release and the Company
assumes no obligation to update or revise this forward-looking
information and statements except as required by law.
