MONTREAL, March 30 /CNW Telbec/ - (TSXV: SSM) Sunset Cove Mining is pleased to release further assay results from its Carolay Silver polymetallic property located in La Libertad, Peru.

The results were obtained from a systematic sampling program of the underground access infrastructures (drifts, raises, etc.) in the Carolay Silver Vein. These 142 samples were taken within the adit on the property. The width of the Carolay Silver Vein ranges from 1.2 to 2.1 meters over its 235-meter length. The chip samples were taken every two (2) meters along the mineralized structure.

The aim of this series of sampling was to try and establish the extent of the mineralization of the hanging and footwalls of the vein. This table illustrates that the host rock is also mineralized. The sample width taken in the vein varies between 0.3 to 1.3 meters.

Here are the assay results from 142 underground samples taken from the Carolay Vein:

Type Ag (g/t) Cu (%) Pb (%) Zn (%)
Vein 122.76 0.16 0.45 0.48
Host Rock 16.26 0.03 0.10 0.35

Mr. Lorne Woods, President and C.E.O. states that: "The next step in the exploration program will consist of diamond drilling on the lateral and depth extensions of the Carolay Silver Vein in order to better define the mineralized ore-shoots".

"This will permit us to better understand the dissemination of  the mineralisation in the host rock," he continued.

The silver results for the 142 samples are the following:

Range No. of Samples % of Samples
0-10 Ag (g/t) 63 44%
10-50 Ag (g/t) 47 33%
> 50 Ag (g/t) 32 23%

The results of the samples fit in with the results of the recent drill holes reported on March 16th 2010, the picture that is coming together is that the Carolay Silver Vein has a relationship to the Anomaly 2. And that it is a deposit that could take the form of a manto that we believe is 40 meters thick. This manto is 600 meters square in size and corresponds to the Anomaly 2 that was identified by IP work last year.

Sunset Cove is using the data in hand to design the next phase of the drilling program to allow it to further define the deposit and give it the information necessary to fully understand the potential of the Anomaly 2, which may be open along strike, and the Carolay vein.
