Sinchao Metals Announces Further Drill Results From the Sinchao Property, Peru

Sinchao Metals Announces Further Drill Results From the Sinchao Property, Peru

Sinchao Metals Corp. (TSX-V:SMZ) is please to announce the results from Drill Holes SDH-17 and SDH-19A, drilled on the Breccia Zone at the Sinchao Property. Drill Hole SDH-17 was drilled approximately 200 metres to the southwest of Drill Hole SDH-12, which returned 161 metres grading 0.81% copper, 0.71 g/t gold and 37.1 g/t silver, and Drill Hole SDH-19A was drilled approximately 150 metres to the southwest of Drill Hole SDH-11, which returned 194 metres grading 0.43% copper, 0.69 g/t gold and 17.1 g/t silver.

Significant intersections are as follows:

Drill Hole SDH-17

From To Interval Copper Gold Silver
m m m % g/t g/t

37.2 48.7 11.5 0.45 0.24 23.5

Drill Hole SDH-19A

38.6 74.7 36.1 0.06 0.34 13.5

Both Drill Hole SDH-17 and SDH-19A were terminated prematurely at 80.45 metres and 141.25 metres depth respectively, due to poor ground conditions.

Drill Hole SDH-17 intersected silicified porphyritic dacite and hydrothermal breccia with trace to 5% disseminated pyrite, and trace to 1% chalcopyrite and enargite, in a broad shear zone.

Drill Hole SDH-19A intersected hydrothermal breccia, cut by numerous faults, with trace to 5% pyrite and traces of chalcopyrite and enargite.

“We are disappointed that both of these holes did not reach target depth,” states President Andrew Gourlay. “The presence of mineralized porphyritic dacite in addition to the mineralized breccia is very encouraging and we are continuing to drill step out holes on the Breccia Zone, to define the size of the mineralized body.”

The current drilling is part of a 5,000 metre drill program that will test the continuity and limits of the Breccia Zone. In addition, further targets defined by the 2007 geophysical surveys will be drill tested and an estimate of inferred resources will be completed in 2008.

Andrew Gourlay, P. Geol., President of Sinchao Metals Corp. is the Qualified Person for the technical disclosure in this news release. All samples were prepared and analyzed by the CIMM Peru S.A. laboratory in Lima, Peru, an ISO-accredited laboratory. Standard reference materials, blanks and field duplicate samples were inserted prior to the shipment from site to monitor the quality control of analytical data.

Sinchao Metals Corp. owns 100% interest in the Sinchao Property, which is located in Cajamarca Province, Northern Peru, and 30 kilometres from Yanacocha, the largest gold mine in South America.

On behalf of Sinchao Metals Corp.
