Hinterland Discovers 1.8m of 1.12% Copper and 0.36% Nickel at Ebay Property, Quebec

VAL D'OR, QUEBEC, Apr 10 (MARKET WIRE) --
Hinterland Metals Inc. (TSX VENTURE: HMI) is pleased to report that it
has intersected several semi-massive sulphide intervals that assayed up
to 1.12% copper and 0.36% nickel over 1.8m. These intervals occur within
a broader zone of patchy sulphide mineralization that was encountered
over a horizontal distance of 200m in holes EB08-26, 27 and 29 (EB08-28
was lost in overburden), and to a vertical depth of 110m in hole EB08-30.
The zone at it widest is 23.6m in hole EB08-29 and it is marked by a
strong chargeability anomaly that is approximately 400m long. It is
interesting to note that this zone is depleted in platinum and palladium.
The intervals listed in the following table are the best copper-nickel
drill intersections ever reported in this part of the Bell River Complex
and as such are an important discovery.
