Sheep Creek Project, White Sulphur Springs, Montana Source: Tintina Resources
Ziegs vested interest in the area is important to establish and maintain trust with the local community and regulators, leading to rapid development, long-lived operation, and environmentally appropriate reclamation and closure. The White Sulphur Springs area, following the decline in the forest industry, has one of the highest levels of unemployment in Montana. Developed as a high grade underground mine, the Sheep Creek project should have a small footprint relative to other non-mining commercial, agricultural or recreational developments. From our perspective, having visited Revett Minerals Inc.s (TSX: RVM) Troy mine, a copper-silver deposit mined by the room and pillar method, the Troy mine provides a good example of a comparable mine (silver-copper) operating in Montana with an excellent record of environmental compliance. It was clear on the project visit that Sheep Creek has excellent access to infrastructure including paved highways, power, water and labor. We were also impressed with the sizeable exploration office and core shed in White Sulphur Springs, and with the morale and activity of the exploration team as well. We were pleased to recognize early in the process the potential for Zieg to provide leadership, leading to value to shareholders as well as long-term prosperity to the region..

Late in 2010, Tintina twinned four of nineteen historic drill holes in the Upper Copper Zone (UCZ) at Strawberry Butte. The UCZ now has an Inferred Resource estimate of seven million tonnes grading 2.4% copper, 0.12% cobalt, and 12.3 g/t silver, at a copper cut-off grade of 1.50% (at $2.50/lb copper), containing 366 million pounds of copper. Tintina has completed approximately 15,000 meters in drilling in the Strawberry Butte area, and the opportunity to upgrade the classification of resources is enhanced by the noteworthy consistency of grades of copper-cobalt-silver. Tintina has completed the drilling in the Strawberry Butte area and has assays pending on 25 holes. Managements goal is to receive an upgrade for the Strawberry Butte UCZ and Preliminary Economic Assessment (on this zone only) midway in the fourth calendar quarter. The infill drilling in the Strawberry Butte UCZ, while notable in consistency, has also intercepted high grades over wide intervals, for example, SC11-046 intersecting a 24.39 meter interval grading 2.2%. The dual benefit of infill drilling helps establish a resource in the even higher grade copper mineralized Lower Copper Zone (LCZ). Highlights of drilling in the LCZ in 2010 include SC10-004 intersecting 4.05 meters grading 10.84% copper, and SC10-005 intersecting 6.35 meters grading 8.72% copper. In 2011, step-out drilling includes SC11-011 which intersected 13.05 meters grading 3.18% copper. In addition, SC11-029 drilled 4.50 meters grading 11.4% copper and SC11-048 intersected 10.73 meters grading 5.3% copper including 6.61 meters grading 8.0% copper. Management anticipates completion of a resource estimate on the Strawberry Butte LCZ in the third calendar quarter. In 2010, Tintina drilled only four holes totaling 2,500 meters in the Strawberry East area, about 2.5 kilometers east of the Strawberry Butte area. The most important hole in the Strawberry Butte program was SC10-006, confirming an older Cominco drill-hole in the Middle Copper Zone (MCZ), intersecting 46.62 meters grading 2.56% copper. Interestingly, management had targeted building a resource primarily from the MCZ and LCZ at Strawberry East. Recently, drilling encountered the UCZ, with SC-049 intersecting 19.53 meters grading 1.65%, including 7.19 meters grading 2.22%. Management plans to complete an additional 10,000 meters of drilling in Strawberry East in 2011, providing additional data for a resource estimate at the end of the year. Altogether, work begun early in 2011 and proceeding through year end should transform the companys investment profile. In summary, this will include an upgrade of the Inferred Resource in the Strawberry Butte UCZ and a Preliminary Economic Assessment, providing an overview of the economics on the existing identified copper-cobalt-silver resource. In addition, we may anticipate the completion of an Inferred Resource in the LCZ for Strawberry Butte and for the MCZ and LCZ of the Strawberry East area (possibly including drill results following up mineralization encountered in the UCZ at Strawberry East). Presently, Tintina has about C$31 million in its treasury, which is more than sufficient to complete the 2011 exploration and development program at Sheep Creek.
