Terra Firma Resources Inc. (TSX VENTURE: TFR) ("Terra Firma" or
"the Company"), through its wholly owned Indonesian subsidiary, PT.
Terra Mineral Resources Indonesia is pleased to announce the first
reconnaissance sample results from the initial exploration program
at its Malawa Property in South Sulawesi, Indonesia.
This early field exploration program consisted of prospecting,
reconnaissance mapping and chip sampling. This work has resulted in
the identification of high grade copper mineralization (up to 7%
copper) and good grades of Silver contained within porphyry copper
mineralization and an associated peripheral copper (lead-zinc)
skarn mineralization. A total of 19 samples were collected along
partially exposed bedrock, mainly along creeks. As such, sampling
was done by taking rock chips (grab samples). A Petrographic report
was completed on selected samples. Sample analytical result
highlights include:

Company geologists have described samples MLW2A and MLW2D to be
from a porphyritic sericite altered granodiorite with
disseminations and veinlets of pyrite, chalcopyrite, covellite and
malachite.
Numerous occurrences of copper gossans have been observed within
the alteration zones associated with sheared and intensely
fractured rocks. Anomalous gold values of up to 1.2 g/t have also
been detected on sample MLW-2A. On the periphery of the alteration
zone to the east malachite and extensive chalcopyrite veins
assaying up to 7 percent copper (sample MLW5D) have been
identified. Float in stream drainages have been observed to contain
mainly chalcopyrite mineralization.
Samples MLW05A, MLW05B and MLW05C were taken from skarn type
mineralization mainly comprised of chalcopyrite with lesser
sphalerite and galena. The second phase of the exploration program
will consist in trenching, sampling and test pits.
All samples collected from the property were submitted to
Intertek's Jakarta lab for geochemical analysis. The exploration
program is led by Senior Geologist Andri Subandrio, with oversight
being provided by Geologist Johannes Erasmus, Associate Senior
Geologist of Micromine Consulting Services.
Geologist Johannes Erasmus is a Qualified Person as defined by
National Instrument 43-101. Johannes Erasmus will be the Qualified
Person for this and future work programs on the South Sulawesi
Property. Mr. Erasmus has a B.Sc (Geology) from the University of
South Africa and an MSc (Mineral Economics) from the School of
Mining Engineering at the University of Witwatersrand. Mr. Erasmus
has more than 30 years experience in both mining and exploration
and has been responsible for the management of numerous exploration
programs around the world.
Brian Buchanan, CEO of Terra Firma said, "We are very pleased
with the first sampling results,that have identified high grade
copper and good grades of silver mineralization, within an
associated peripheral copper, lead-zinc skarn type mineralization
on the Mallawa property in South Sulawesi."
