NEW YORK, NY -- (Marketwire) -- 02/21/13 -- Trilliant Exploration (OTCQB: TTXP) is pleased to announce the discovery of the previously undocumented Pomeroy 5 East and West Zones at Copper Island Project. Assay results from the Pomeroy 5 East Zone have averaged 4.6% copper and 24g/t silver, up to 6.5% copper and 68g/t silver. Nine selective rock samples were taken from blasted and exposed bedrock over a length of 30m and analyzed at Acme Analytical Labs (Vancouver, BC). Assay results from Pomeroy 5 West Zone have averaged 2.4% copper and 9g/t silver, up to 3.6% copper and 12g/t silver. Four selective rock samples were taken from blasted and exposed bedrock 15m in length. The Pomeroy 5 East Zone is located 150m to the west of Pomeroy 2 South, with the Pomeroy 5 West Zone located 130m further west along the same east-west orientation. The discovery of the Pomeroy 5 Zones were the result of grid based exploration and a single map reference indicating a mineralized zone on a geological map from Prince Stewart Mines (1974).
"We are pleasantly, but not completely, surprised to find mineralization outside of the known zones. While our focus remains confirmation of previous work there appears to be no shortage of exploration opportunities within close proximity at Copper Island," stated Jared Lazerson, Chief Executive Officer of Copper Island Mines Ltd. Pomeroy 5 is a parallel structure 600m x 300m located to the west of the past producing Pomeroy 2 with mineralization that includes copper grade, high correlation with silver and at an elevation that are similar. The extent of mineralization at Pomeroy 5 beyond sampled areas is unknown.
