CREAM MINERALS ANNOUNCES COMMENCEMENT OF DRILLING BY ROCA MINES AT NUEVO MILENIO SILVER GOLD PROJECT, MEXICO
Vancouver, BC – February 15, 2010 - Cream Minerals Ltd. (TSXV - CMA) ("Cream" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Roca Mines Inc. (“Roca”) has commenced drilling on Cream’s 100% owned Nuevo Milenio silver gold property in Nayarit State, Mexico.
The Phase 1 drill program is comprised of approximately 7 drill holes totalling 1,500 metres. Two of Roca’s drill holes will twin historical Cream drill holes to confirm grade. The balance of 5 drill holes will test structures in the Veta Tomas and Dos Hornos vein systems. Cream’s NI 43-101 Inferred Mineral Resource (December 2008) of 54.6 million ounce silver equivalent incorporates assays from the above vein systems. This drill program plus preparatory work will comprise part of Roca’s first year exploration commitment of $US1 million by July 24, 2010. The total exploration commitment by Roca is $US12 million to be completed by July 24, 2013 to earn a 50% interest in the Nuevo Milenio property.
Since the signing of the Option Agreement (the “Agreement”) in July 2009, Roca geologists have expended considerable time and effort on property work at Nuevo Milenio as well as reviewing, compiling and analyzing data from historical Cream assay sheets, geochemical and geological mapping data. In addition Roca has initiated work on a three dimensional model of the Nuevo Milenio geology. All of the above information was employed in designing the current drilling program. Roca has engaged Mr. Robert (“Bob”) Lane, P.Geo, a recognized authority on epithermal gold and silver mineralization to oversee the exploration program at Nuevo Milenio. Mr. Lane will be the Qualified Person for Roca.
