Secova Metals Corp.: Drilling Begins at Gold Coin Arizona

  Secova Metals Corp. (TSX VENTURE: SEK) is pleased to announce that diamond drilling is underway at the Gold Coin Arizona gold property.

Secova has initiated a diamond drill program which will total an estimated 2,000 metres; up to 10 holes are planned. Early drill holes will test the down dip extent and lateral continuity of the gold mineralization identified in the Double Eagle trenches, where continuous rock chip samples have yielded highlight gold results of 13.7 metres of 3.12 g/t gold, including 6.1 metres of 4.65 g/t gold. The Double Eagle trench is located within a north-westward trending soil + geophysical anomaly measuring about 1,000m long by 350m wide.

Michael Moore, President & CEO comments: "We are very pleased to have the opportunity to drill the Gold Coin targets. The property's first ever drill program will explore the sub-surface sources of the combined geochemical and geophysical anomalies."

Additional drill holes will focus on two other distinct anomalies. A second priority zone is centred about 350 metres east of the trenches, measures about 900m long by 250m wide and roughly parallels the Double Eagle anomaly. A third anomaly is the largest yet identified and is located within the north-central part of the property. This northern anomaly is loosely elliptical in shape and measures about 1,000 metres in an east-west direction with a width varying from 300 to 500 metres.

Secova has been granted three Arizona State mineral exploration licenses contiguous to the east side of original property limit. The Gold Coin property is now nearly double in size; increasing to 659.2 hectares (1,628.9 acres).
