VANCOUVER, Oct. 2 /CNW/ - Tumi Resources Limited ("Tumi" and/or the "Company") (TSXv-TM; OTCBB - TUMIF; Frankfurt - TUY). David Henstridge, President, is pleased to announce the start of a pulse electromagnetic (PEM) ground geophysical survey (the "Survey") over the Company's wholly-owned Kalvbacken property located in the Bergslagen District, 17 km southeast of Falun, central Sweden. The Survey will cover an area of about 460 hectares (4.6 square km), involving about 40 line-kms. The historic Kalvbacken sulphide deposits are located in a felsic metavolcanic-quartzite complex near the contact with granite. The ore-bodies, which are confined to two northeast striking skarn-carbonate horizons, are surrounded by an alteration aureole. The alteration zone, running more or less parallel with the granite contact, is bounded by granite in the north, and the alteration of the felsic metavolcanic has resulted in the development of "quartzitic" rocks. The mineral associations occurring in the aureole seem to be the result of metamorphic differentiation, and sulphide minerals have been formed later than the silicates. Mapping by the Company's Swedish geologists has traced the favourable horizon over about 2km strike length along the "quartzite" - felsic metavolcanic contact, grading into a granite - felsic metavolcanic contact. Within the Kalvbacken property, and located on the felsic metavolcanic-quartz contact, an open pit reveals the location of the old sulphide deposits. Records show that the deposits consisted of two stock-like ore bodies that contained pyrite, sphalerite and galena and lesser chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, antimony-sulphides, arsenopyrite and magnetite. Total production between the 16th Century and 1963 is estimated at 662,000 tons of zinc-lead-copper ore, but no grades are available. The descriptions of the geology and mineral assemblages, plus observations made in the field by Company personnel, indicate that this may actually be a volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit (Kuroko-type) which has been deformed, metasomatised (skarn minerals) and the sulphides re-deposited into the skarn and carbonate rocks. The PEM survey will target the felsic metavolcanic-quartzite contact within the claim block and any possible hidden extensions to the contact. Mr. Henstridge stated: "This is our second PEM survey in Sweden following the completion of the PEM survey at Sala. As well, a helicopter-borne electromagnetic survey to cover our Oster Silvberg, Tomtebo and Vitturn projects is scheduled to be undertaken in early October bringing the number of Tumi's licence areas to be covered by electromagnetics to five". The Company has made arrangements for a drilling company to be available to immediately drill any defined electromagnetic targets".
