A new style of mineralization has been found at Pinnacle Mines and Mountain Boy Minerals' main Breccia zone on the Silver Coin property in British Columbia.<br/><br/>This mineralization is similar to the high gold bearing mineralization found at the nearby Sibak-Premier mine a few kilometres south.<br/><br/>It has an early stage of pervasive sericite-pyrite-quartz alteration as well as a main stage of quartz stockworks, breccias and silicification, which carries gold associated with disseminated pyrite, sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite.<br/><br/>The main Breccia zone could be as wide as 100 metres and drilling has revealed gold values of 1.88 g/t in the main intersection.<br/><br/>The drill holes have shown that the intersections go down to 200 metres and increase the potential of the project.<br/>
