Die Analysen aus 30 Bohrlöchern scheinen an den kanadischen Börsen aufs erste keine Begeisterung ausgelöst zu haben.
Für Ende November ist die Veröffentlichung endgültiger Zahlen der pre-feasibility AMEC Ressourcenschätzung angekündigt; Ergebnisse aus weiteren 159 Bohrlöchern sollen darin eingearbeitet werden. Es ist dann also mit deutlich "mehr Metall" in der Ressource bzw. mit einer Hochstufung der Vorräte innerhalb der Ressourcenkategorien zu rechnen.

TORONTO, Ontario, November 9, 2012 - Duluth Metals Limited ("Duluth Metals") (TSX: DM) (TSX: DM.U) is pleased to announce assay results for 30 additional holes, MEX-379 to 408, on the Maturi Deposit within the Twin Metals Minnesota Project in northeastern Minnesota. The majority of the holes have significant length intercepts that meet a 0.5% Cu cut-off criteria. These holes, distributed across the Maturi Resource, continue to indicate the ability to define a higher grade sub-set of the resource for early utilization. These additional holes will be incorporated into the final resource estimate to be issued by AMEC later this month (November 2012).
In Area 1 (shallow west Maturi):
Mex-400 returned a 136 foot intersection of 0.945% copper, 0.256% nickel, 3.2 g/t silver and 0.638 grams TPM (TPM = Platinum+Palladium+Gold) at a 0.5% Cu cut-off. Mex-390 returned a 189 foot intersection of 0.829% copper, 0.253% nickel, 2.4 g/t silver and 0.519 grams TPM at a 0.5% Cu cut-off.

The Twin Metals Minnesota Project covers over 32,000 acres of land/mineral interests and consolidates the largest base and precious metal land position in Minnesota. This extensive land position provides Twin Metals with the platform to plan and develop one the world's largest copper-nickel-PGM deposits within a new emerging mining belt in Minnesota, USA.
Duluth Metals Limited is committed to acquiring, exploring and developing copper, nickel and platinum group metal (PGM) deposits. Duluth Metals has a joint venture with Antofagasta plc on the Twin Metals Minnesota Project, located within the rapidly emerging Duluth Complex mining camp in north-eastern Minnesota. The Duluth Complex hosts one of the world's largest undeveloped repositories of copper, nickel and PGMs, including the world's third largest accumulation of nickel sulphides, and one of the world's largest accumulations of polymetallic copper and platinum group metals. Aside from the joint venture, Duluth Metals retains a 100% position on approximately 40,000 acres of mineral interests on exploration properties adjacent to and nearby the Twin Metals Minnesota LLC joint venture.
