WINDSOR, NS, April 29, 2013 /CNW/ - Buchans Minerals Corporation (TSXV: BMC) ("Buchans Minerals" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the filing of a technical report titled "Mineral Resource Estimate Technical Report on the Lundberg Deposit, Buchans area, Newfoundland, Canada" (the "Technical Report") on SEDAR (www.sedar.com). There are no material differences between the mineral resource estimate for the Lundberg Deposit contained in the Technical Report filed April 26, 2013 and as previously reported in Buchans Minerals' news release dated March 4, 2013. 

The Lundberg Deposit is located within Buchans Minerals' 100% owned Buchans Property on which Buchans Minerals has entered into an agreement with Minco plc ("Minco") granting Minco the option to earn a 51% interest in Buchans Mineral's base metal properties in central Newfoundland.

The new Technical Report was prepared by Michael Cullen, P. Geo. And Andrew Hilchey, P.Geo., of Mercator Geological Services Limited of Dartmouth, Nova Scotia for Buchans Minerals Corporation and Centrerock Mining Limited (a wholly-owned subsidiary of Minco plc).  The report was prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects and conforms to the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves.

Minco & Buchans Joint Venture Agreement:

On April 30th, 2012, Buchans Minerals Corporation and Minco entered into an agreement granting Minco the right to earn a 51% interest in the Buchans base metal properties in central Newfoundland by spending CDN$8 million to advance the Lundberg deposit to final feasibility over four (4) years and to further explore the extensive mineral properties in the region held by Buchans Minerals.

Minco is initially required to spend CDN$3.5 million over the first two years (beginning April 30th, 2012) to advance the project through pre-feasibility.  Following the completion of the new resource estimate Minco has indicated that they now plan to undertake a range of ongoing development activities that will include geotechnical engineering, open-pit mine plan, metallurgy, plant design, engineering, environmental studies and an economic evaluation.

Following the expenditure of CDN$3.5 million and the completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study, Minco will have the option to proceed to complete a final feasibility study by spending a further CDN$4.5 million over the following two years and thereby earn a 51% interest in the project.
