Empire Mining Corporation (TSX VENTURE:EPC) (“Empire”) is pleased to announce additional assay results for drill holes DTH-009, DTH-010, and DTH-018 at the Demirtepe target area of the Bursa copper-gold-silver-molybdenum project located in Turkey.

All three holes intersected significant shallow copper-gold-silver skarn mineralization and holes DTH-9 and DTH-18 also intersected significant molybdenum grades. The drilling has extended the mineralization to the south and to the west, thereby confirming the continuity of the mineralization in the Main Zone along a corridor 270 meters long and up to 100 meters wide.

Significant intercepts for the three holes are as follows:

  • DTH-009: From 30.1 m to 46.8 m – 16.7 m @ 1.05% Copper, 0.31 g/t Gold and 10.6 g/t Silver also from 136.7 m to 152.2 m – 15.5 m @ 0.29% Molybdenum
  • DTH-010: From 97.5 m to 116.9 m – 19.4 m @ 2.46% Copper, 0.82 g/t Gold and 34.3 g/t Silver including from 98.7 m to 102.3 m – 3.6 m @ 10.8% Copper, 3.32 g/t Gold and 142.8 g/t Silver
  • DTH-018: From 81.4 m to 105.0 m – 23.6 m @ 1.37% Copper, 0.56 g/t Gold and 17.1 g/t Silver including from 97.7 m to 102.5 m – 4.8 m @ 1.15% Molybdenum

  • Approximately 30 core holes, for about 7,000 meters have been drilled at the Demirtepe target to date. Twenty-two have been drilled in the Main Zone, five in the North Zone and three in between the Main and the North zones. Assay results from holes DTH-11 to DTH-30 and parts of DTH-18 are pending.
