Drilling is underway at Playfair Mining Ltd.'s (TSX VENTURE: PLY) 100% owned copper-silver Seal Lake project located in central Labrador, Canada.

The extensive Seal Lake property covers a sediment hosted stratiform copper-silver system in the Central Mineral Belt of Labrador. Some 136 copper-silver occurrences, showings and prospects are known on Playfair's 16,825 ha property. The majority of the 16 showings and 9 prospects occur within a consistent and laterally extensive stratigraphic horizon - the basal gray shale of the Upper Adeline Island Formation. The overall stratigraphy and host rocks at Seal Lake are similar to the rocks hosting the world-famous White Pine copper-silver district in Michigan.

Playfair's 4,000m program is planned to test the basin-wide continuity of copper-silver occurrences previously drilled in 1956 and 1972. The first target area is located near the west end of the property. Drilling in this area will test a 10km strike length with holes spaced 1km apart. The second target area is located near the east end of the property. Drilling in the second area will test a 5km strike length with holes spaced 1km apart.

Highlights of previous work on the property are 6.4m of 2.5% Copper at Adeline Island, 11.3m of 1.0% Copper and 30.4 gpt Silver (including 4.9m of 2.5% Copper and 93.0 gpt Silver) at Ellis, 6 km east of Adeline Island and 11.0m of 2.9% Copper and 45.9 gpt Silver at Whiskey Lake, about 30 km east of Adeline Island.

In addition to the Seal Lake copper-silver exploration opportunity, Playfair has four properties with substantial high-grade tungsten deposits. Playfair's four tungsten deposits have all had significant work completed on them. Two of the deposits (Risby and Grey River) have NI 43-101 compliant resource estimates while the other two deposits (Lened and Clea) have historical noncompliant NI43-101 resource calculations. Playfair continues to believe that there is a strong case for an impending global Tungsten shortage, as is evidenced by the continued strong rebound in the price of Tungsten.

Tungsten has recently traded to an all-time high of $365 per Metric Ton Unit (or $16.56 per pound), an increase of 50% over recent lows. Please see our website for an internet link for the spot Tungsten price.
