Deutsche Rohstoff AG / Key word(s): Miscellaneous Devonian Metals intersects 16,47% Zinc/Lead over 10 Meters 08.12.2010 / 09:03 Devonian Metals intersects 16.47 % Zinc /Lead over 10 Meters Results from 2010 drilling program in Wrigley available Heidelberg. Deutsche Rohstoff AG is pleased to announce results from the 2010 drilling program on the Canadian Wrigley property, carried out by Devonian Metals Inc., a partly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Rohstoff. The results of all 18 holes with together 4,800 meters, drilled in August and September 2010, are now available. The best intercepts include 16.47 % zinc/lead combined and 18.2 g/t of silver over 10 metres (D12-10-11) in the '12-zone', 15.21 % zinc/lead and 27.2 g/t silver over 11 metres (D12-10-13) in the '36-zone' and 12.24 % zinc/lead plus 29.5 g/t silver over 3 metres (DB-10-14) in the '12-zone'. Drilling focused on three different mineralized zones and had the goal to drill to far greater depth (250-350 metres) than previous work, establishing the presence of significant ore mineralization. Best consistency was seen in the so-called 12 zone, Holes 11, 12, 14 and 16, where a coherent sulfide ore structure with very high grade intervals persists to depth. All zones remain open along strike and to depth. An update of the NI 43-101 resource is scheduled for the first quarter of 2011. Ronald McIntyre, Chief Geologist and President of Devonian Metals said: 'We are quite pleased with the results we received from 2010 drilling.
