Sunset Cove Discovers Four New Mineralized Structures at Carolay

TORONTO, May 8, 2012 /CNW Telbec/ - (TSX: SSM) (BVL: SSM) Sunset Cove is pleased to announce recent surface samples indicate a discovery of four new mineralized structures at Sunset Cove's Carolay Silver property.

The four veins are found adjacent to the Carolay Vein and within the 300-meter wide Anomaly #1. Identified as the Rosemary; Paola; Doris and Cristal veins. The two most interesting are the Rosemary and Paola veins and they run parallel to the known Carolay vein. They both have very very steep dips of over 75 degrees Northeast, making them very interesting and important geologically.

"We are very excited by the discovery of these new veins," said Lorne Woods Sunset's President and CEO. "The new structures are very encouraging as the angles of inclination are usually indicators of veins that run deep."

The channels sample results of the Rosemary vein returned 24.54 g/t Ag, 0.03% Cu, 0.07%Pb and 0.41%Zn. It also measured a minimum of 17 meters on surface and is 3.12 meters wide.

The channel sample results for the Paola vein returned 16.09 g/tAg, 0.02% Cu, 0.10% Pb and 0.35%Zn. The vein measures 52 meters long and is 3.25 meters wide.

In addition the Doris vein runs perpendicular between the Rosemary and Paola veins. The channel samples reported 21.55 g/t Ag, 0.04 %Cu, 0.26% Pb and 0.58% Zn and found to be narrow at surface. The Cristal vein samples showed 9.80 g/t Ag, 0.02% Cu, 0.06% Pb and 0.49% Zn and also was found to be narrow at surface.

The mineralogy of these four structures is similar to that of the Carolay vein. The veins have the same mineralogy so far; the only difference is that some of them have a higher proportion in terms of minerals.

For instance, the Carolay vein has a lot of silver mineralization and high silver values. Rosemary and Paola veins have a higher level of sphalerite and galena therefore revealing high values of zinc and lead. Since the veins have similar mineralogy to the Carolay vein we expect that both Rosemary and Paola veins improve their values of silver.

The exploration plan for the Carolay Project has as its main priority to explore the veins that are outcropping near the old Carolay mine where Geophysical Anomaly #1, registered by the Geophysics study from last year, is located.

Detailed exploration implies mapping outcrops that are limited since most of the area is covered by material that is product of weathering and vegetation. Mapping aims to lead the diamond drilling towards structures in depth. Also, the sampling of this structural expression is being well-used by applying systematic sampling channels in order to verify the lateral and depth extensions of these veins.

"All of this will allow us to better understand the potential of the Carolay property," said Woods. "A report from the current drilling campaign should be ready within the next two weeks."
