Mosquito Reports Surface Sample Results on Trikay, Australia

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (TSX VENTURE: MSQ) is pleased to report excellent results from surface samples collected on its Trikay Iron-Oxide Copper Gold project, located in the prolific Mount Isa Inlier of Australia.

A total of 134 rock geochemical samples were collected in early 2008 by Dr. Matt Ball, PhD, P.Geo., Senior Geologist and Director of Mosquito and delivered to ALS Chemex in Mount Isa for analysis of a multi-element suite including copper and gold. The samples were of mineralized zones containing visibly abundant copper oxide mineralization (malachite). Channel samples were chipped from mineralized outcrops over lengths ranging from 0.5 to 10.0 meters to obtain representative average grades of mineralization.

The results show that significant grades are present over large widths. Individual samples ranged from 0.1% to 10.1% Cu over a 0.5m width, 0.1 to 1.66 g/t Au over 3.0m width, and 0.1 to 15.7 g/t Ag over 1.5 meter width. Average grades over multiple sample traverses are given in the table below:

Detailed geological mapping (1:1000 scale) indicates the copper-gold mineralization is associated with breccia zones and veins developed in hydrothermally altered schist of the Corella Formation. The breccia zones are extensive, with the largest mineralized zone defined to date extending up to 55 meters wide and 180 meters along strike (West Breccia). Located 300 meters east of this is another broad zone, measuring 65 meter wide and 300 meters along strike, that envelops numerous outcrops of mineralized breccia and magnetite-bearing schist, (Rebound). Copper-gold mineralization is also present in carbonate veins and other structural zones. The Copper Weed zone is an example of this type, with a 110m strike length defined by cross trenches.

Overall, these results demonstrate that significant copper-gold mineralization is present in large mineralized zones on the Trikay property. Follow-up sampling and/or drilling is the next logical step to evaluate the extent and continuity of the copper-gold mineralization.
