Torch River Resources Ltd. announced geochemical and geophysical data compilation has identified REE targets on its 100% owned Mount Copeland mineral tenures. From the 2008 drill core samples (West Glacier Zone), a total of 31 select core sample (0.5-2.0 m length range) pulps were analyzed by lithium borate fusion with ICP-MS finish (Pioneer Labs, Richmond, BC report number 2092505). Elevated values of niobium, neodymium, yttrium, cerium, lanthanum, and rubidium, with zirconium, titanium and strontium listed as follows:

Mean average values for elements listed, from 31 core samples geochemically analyzed:

A total of 53 soil samples (from 2008 soil sampling program on the Glacier, E and W Basin Zones) were analyzed for some REE's by ICP-MS, (method code ME-MS61, ALS Chemex, N Vancouver, BC certificate number VA8127982). Elevated values of niobium, phosphorus,yttrium, cerium, lanthanum, and rubidium, with molybdenum, titanium and strontium listed as follows:

In addition to anomalous REE geochemical targets, there are 6 targets identified by a magnetometer survey carried out in 2008. These positive total field magnetic anomalies (moderate strength 200-500 nT increase, strong >500 nT increase) are listed as follows:

Easting   Northing   Elevation   Relative strength   Zone Name

397350    5665500    2320 m      Moderate            West Basin

397500    5665350    2340 m      Strong              Marble Ridge

397550    5665350    2335 m      Moderate            Marble Ridge

397650    5665300    2340 m      Strong              Marble Ridge

397600    5665250    2410 m      Moderate            Marble Ridge

397690    5665250    2395 m      Moderate            W Glacier

The magnetometer survey strong anomalies are located in an area of marble with extensive zones of pyrrhotite and/or magnetite/ilmenite replacement mineralization which may account for the increase in total field magnetics.
