TVI Pacific Inc. is a copper producer focused on the development, exploration and acquisition of precious and base metal mining projects in the Philippines. TVI is working extension/expansion opportunities in proximity to the Canatuan Mine, developing the Balabag gold property and exploring at the Tamarok copper-gold prospect.
An updated NI43-101 report for Balabag is expected in the October/November timeframe. Based on the September news Positive Results From Balabag Gold Project Drill Program, which detailed gold grades from 1.49 g/t to 14.01 g/t and silver grades of 49.18 g/t to 315.07 g/t, over excellent true widths ranging from 3.64m to 7.32m, the expected NI43-101 report (October/November) has a high probability of yielding a very significant increase in the company's total in situ gold and silver with a resultant increase in fair market valuations.

TVI expects to release preliminary assay results from a 30 hole drill program, that was completed on June 17, 2010, by the end of August 2010, with a full technical report from GeoSystems International Inc. to be released late September 2010. Social and environmental initiatives and a new phase of drilling continue at Balabag. [Source: Company Web Site, viewed August 2010]

The Canatuan Mine is a polymetallic mine located in the province of Zamboanga del Norte on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines. The Canatuan Mine initially produced gold and silver doré from gossan ore, the oxidized cap of a volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit. The gossan ore was mined using open-pit methods and processed through conventional carbon-in-leach and Merrill Crowe circuits. The underlying primary sulphide portion of the deposit, hosting copper and zinc, was largely exposed during the mining of the gossan deposit. [Source: company]
