Selwyn with its 50% joint venture partner, Yunnan Chihong Zinc & Germanium Co. Ltd., is advancing the Selwyn Project in Yukon and Northwest territories to bankable feasibility and development. Chihong is funding the next $100M of exploration and development activities. Chihong is a fully integrated mining and smelting company based in southern China. Together the partners will seek project financing from Chinese banks.

Selwyn Project hosts perhaps the largest undeveloped zinc-lead deposit in the World. Initial mine development will focus on 16.06M tonnes of high grade Indicated mineral resources grading 10.06 % zinc and 4.23% lead and 26.70M tonnes grading 8.81% zinc and 2.81% lead. Initial mine production is forecast at 255,000 tpa of zinc and 65,000 tpa of lead in concentrate; commencing as early as late 2013, coinciding with forecast shortfalls in mine supply.

Selwyn's drill results at Don confirm continuity at zinc-lead project in Yukon

6th Jul 2011, 1:47 pm by Deborah Sterescu

Vancouver-based Selwyn Resources announced Tuesday additional drill results from the 61 lens of the Don deposit at its Selwyn zinc-lead project in the Yukon, which continue to confirm known resources.

The high-grade mineral resource for the Don deposit is composed of three lenses in the underground environment, each of which is structurally bounded by faults. The three main lenses are the 61-lens, 62-lens, and 63-lens.

Highlights of the results reported today from the 61 lens include 22.99 metres grading 8.56% zinc and 3.42% lead, including 5.63 metres of 24.17% zinc and 4.00% lead in hole DON-155; and 18.99 metres grading 9.13% zinc and 3.47% lead in DON-201, including 3.65 metres of 20.41% zinc and 8.35% lead.

The company said hole DON-155 intersected a thick section of high-grade mineralization hosted within a broad envelope of zinc-lead mineralization, while DON-201 is located near the base of the lens and shows strong correlation with the nearby previously reported high-grade intercepts in DON-195, DON-196, and DON-205.

"These results reinforce the confidence in the detailed 3D modeling of the 61-lens," Selwyn said in a statement.

The results are part of a definition drill program being conducted by Selwyn Chihong Mining, the joint venture company equally owned by Selwyn and Chihong Mining Canada, a subsidiary of Yunnan Chihong Zinc and Germanium Co.

Once all results from the definition drill program have been received, the company will incorporate the new data into an updated mineral resource estimate for the bankable feasibility study now underway.

The mineral resource for Don was last estimated in January 2008 to include an indicated resource of 5.33 million tonnes grading 9.98% zinc and 3.86% lead, and inferred resource of 5.34 million tonnes grading 7.94% zinc and 2.95% lead.

Drilling continues to confirm known mineral resources with one drill at the Don deposit, and two drills at the XY West deposit.
