Boxxer Intersects broad Intervals of Copper Mineralization at Buena Vista

Calgary, Alberta - Boxxer Gold Corp. (TSXV-“BXX”) is pleased to provide an update on its current diamond drilling program on the Buena Vista Joint Venture project located approximately 90 miles east of Reno. These holes were designed to test the exploration (IOCG) model and several mineralized showings on the property.  A total of 1,778 feet of drilling in four holes has been completed to date.  One additional drill hole is planned in this phase of the exploration program.
  
Conclusions:   
1) The IOCG exploration model has been confirmed. The property exhibits characteristics comparable to other Jurassic – Early Cretaceous - age IOCG deposits that occur in the Coastal Cordillera Belt of northern Chile and southern Peru (e.g, Mantos Blancos and Candelaria -Punta del Corbe district).

2) In the Feeder Zone, the mineralized magnetite replacement body exposed on surface and the 140 foot interval of fracture-controlled stockwork copper mineralization intersected in DDH BV07-2 are interpreted to be part of a low grade copper halo that may grade at depth into significant stockwork copper mineralization. Several targets in this zone remain to be tested.      

Feeder Zone Drilling Results:

Drill Hole BV06-1, was drilled to a total depth of 431 feet and tested the down dip extension of a large copper-bearing (assayed 0.75% Cu over 3 feet) magnetite replacement body exposed on surface.  This hole intersected the magnetite body in the interval from 310.5 to 338 feet (approximately 24 feet true thickness) which assayed 0.052% copper and 2.3 ppm silver. This interval exhibits intense chlorite alteration, 1%-10% specular hematite as replacement blebs, disseminated chalcopyrite mineralization and anomalous values of cobalt (up to 126 ppm), lanthanum (up to 50 ppm), arsenic (up to 168 ppm), molybdenum (up to 175 ppm) and lead (up to 120 ppm).

Drill hole BV07-2, located 650 feet north of DDH BV06-1 was drilled to a total depth of 642.7 feet to test coincident geophysical (IP and magnetic) and copper-in-soil geochemical anomalies. The zone of sulfide mineralization intersected in this hole is at least 400  feet wide (true thickness) and 450-feet deep.  The background copper values outside the two mineralized intervals averaged 35 parts per million (“ppm”). In the interval from 146.8 to 271.8 feet the copper values ranged from 333 ppm (0.033%) to 715 ppm (0.071%)  Further down hole, the interval from 534.2 to 577 feet exhibits anomalous concentrations of copper (up to 224 ppm), cobalt (up to 121 ppm) and arsenic (up to 415 ppm). The mineralized intervals exhibit stockwork pyrite (1%-7%) – chalcopyrite (< 1%) – hematite – specular hematite (1% -10%; locally semi-massive) mineralization and intense chlorite-epidote-albite alteration.

An interpretation of the previously completed induced polarization– resistivity survey indicates that the stockwork sulfide zone is at least 1300 feet long. Additional drilling will be necessary to fully evaluate the zone.

Strata Bound Drill results:
Drill hole BV07-3, located approximately 600 feet northwest of DDH-BV07-2 was drilled to a depth of 428 feet before being lost; target depth was 800 feet. The hole was designed to test the down dip extension of a hematite replacement body and associated Cu-Au showings (up to 15% Cu and 0.82g/t Au) host by an altered strata-bound unit. The hole intersected a major fault-shear structure (at least 80 feet wide) which appears to have truncated the dip extension of the hematite replacement body. The structure was mineralized from 211.5 to 254 feet (42.5feet) and contained <1% - 3% stockwork pyrite + chalcopyrite and hematite. Within this interval a thin stockwork chalcopyrite zone from (237.7’ – 238.2’) assayed 0.56% Cu; 0.7g/t Ag over 0.5 feet. At a depth of 401 feet, intense argillic (clay-sericite) alteration with accompanying coarse-size pyrite replacement blebs was encountered. The hole was lost in the fault zone. A second hole BV070-3A was attempted but also lost at 275.7 feet in the fault-shear zone.  Boxxer is planning on redrilling this target during the next drilling program once a short road has been built to allow the drilling of a more vertically oriented hole.

Drill hole BV07-4 is currently being drilled at a depth of 520 feet and has a projected depth of 1000 feet. When this hole is finished, the drilling program will be suspended to allow completion of a detailed downhole induced polarization/resistivity survey over the Feeder Zone and Strata-bound alteration units to provide better define the mineralized zone intersected by diamond drilling and/or establish new targets within the identified IOCG system. Targets generated by the geophysical survey will be tested by drilling during the next drilling campaign. 

Sample Preparation and Analysis:
All drill core samples were prepared at the ALS Chemex laboratory in Winnemucca, Nevada. Prepared sample pulps were shipped to ALS Chemex in Vancouver, British Columbia for geochemical analysis (atomic absorption and ICP-AES methods). ALS Chemex’s quality system complies with the requirements for the International Standards ISO9001:2000 and ISO 17025:1999.  Analytical accuracy and precision are monitored by the use of international and in-house standards. Additional quality control measures included insertion of blanks in all drill core sample batches submitted and requests for duplicate check assays from selected pulp or coarse-reject samples.
