Galena intercepts 13.95 g/t Au, 245.21 g/t Ag
Vancouver, British Columbia, July 7, 2008 - Galena Capital Corp. (TSXV: FYI) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the results from the Phase I drilling program on the Maureen property, located in the state of Nayarit, Mexico. The drilling confirms the occurrence of both gold and silver mineralization and shows that high grade mineralization at depth continues on the property.
Highlights:
MRE-08-04 assayed 0.19 g/t Au and 38.89 g/t Ag over 8.00 m. including 0.66 g/t Au and 235.50 g/t Ag over 1.00 m.
MRE-08-06 assayed 1.98 g/t Au and 326.25 g/t Ag over 4.30 m. including 4.28 g/t Au and 725.60 g/t Ag over 1.00 m. and 3.21 g/t Au and 566.40 g/t Ag over 1.00 m.
MRE-08-07 assayed 13.95 g/t Au and 245.21 g/t Ag over 9.10 m. including 125.63 g/t Au and 2,174.80 g/t Ag over 1.00 m. ; 0.25 g/t Au and 39.80 g/t Ag over 1.00 m. and also including 0.76 g/t Au and 12.90 g/t Ag over 1.00 m.
Galena is presently developing their Phase II drill program to include the lateral extensions of the La Suerte vein. Hole MRE-08-07 required additional sampling due to some areas within the high grading zone that were not sampled. At present, we have assumed the gaps to contain no traces of gold or silver. The Company is awaiting results. Nine (9) holes were drilled during this phase of exploration, for a total drilling amount of 1,984.4 metres.
Luc Rioux, Director of Exploration for Galena commented, "These results demonstrate the quality of our asset and the success of our exploration strategy. The aggressive near-production exploration efforts, carried out by our dedicated exploration team in Mexico are realizing the additional discovery potential at our Maureen property".
Drill core was logged, split and sampled by Company personnel at facilities in La Curva, state of Nayarit, Mexico. Samples were subsequently bagged, sealed and shipped under the custody of Company personnel to the Sonora Sample Prep facility in Hermosillo, Sonora where the samples were prepared and in order to reduce shipping costs between Mexico and Canada, only the pulps are shipped to the IPL lab in Vancouver B.C. to be analyzed by standard industry-recognized assay methods.
The drill program and technical data are under the management of Luc Rioux, P. Geo., who is a Qualified Person pursuant to National Instrument 43-101 and have reviewed and verified the technical information contained in this news release.
Galena's mission statement is to aggressively build a well-financed, premiere public company run by dedicated, experienced senior management, with projects whereby production can withstand commodity fluctuations and therefore create a legacy in Mexico and South America.
