VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 15, 2011) -
THIS NEWS RELEASE IS NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
Monster Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:MAN) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the commencement of an airborne geophysical survey over its Keno-Lightning project near Keno City, Yukon. The Keno-Lightning property is located within the historic Keno Hill silver district and hosts eight known occurrences of polymetallic silver-lead-zinc and gold±copper veins within Selwyn Basin Devono-Mississipian metasedimentary schists, quartzites and diorites.
The Company has contracted SkyTEM Surveys ApS to conduct a 1460 line kilometre time domain electromagnetic (TDEM) survey over Keno-Lightning. The helicopter-borne SkyTEM system is capable of producing high resolution, highly accurate data from surface to depths of up to 300 m and is well-suited to identifying steeply dipping to vertical conductors and resolving minor differences in lithological conductivity. The purposes of the survey are to identify blind sulphide veins and faults in order to generate exploration targets outside of the known occurrences and assist in structural interpretations of the geology and mineralization on Keno-Lightning. The Company anticipates that the survey will conclude around June 20 and expects the final report within four to six weeks of the conclusion of the survey.
