NEW YORK--([ BUSINESS WIRE ])--Standard & Poora™s announced today that it has commenced [ Factual Stock Report coverage on Trevali Resources Corp ].

Trevali Resources Corp. (OTC: TREVF), in the exploration stage as of December 31, 2009, engages in the acquisition, exploration and development of mineral properties in Peru. The company holds an interest in one property in Peru.

Trevali's Santander silver-lead-zinc mine project is located in west-central Peru, approximately 215 kilometers by road from Lima. The property consists of 66 concessions aggregating 950.7071 hectares surrounded by six claim blocks aggregating 3,504 hectares centered on the former mine infrastructure. The current infrastructure is comprised of a fully refurbished 200-man camp and associated support facilities and the lease of the Tingo hydroelectric power station located some 17 kilometers away.

The company commenced exploration at Santander in November 2007. Mineralization remains open in all three Magistral deposits, the Puajanca zone and the past-producing Santander Pipe, and numerous high-priority targets remain to be tested on the company's large, 100%-owned land package.

An independent resource estimate, dated May 2009, of the three Magistral deposits reviewed a total indicated mineral resource of 5,298,000 tonnes with an average grade of 3.34% zinc, 1.27% lead and 38 g/t silver for a contained metal inventory of 390 million pounds zinc, 149 million pounds lead and 6.5 million ounces silver in the indicated category. An additional inferred mineral resource of 2,244,000 tonnes grading 2.92% zinc, 0.50% lead and 18 g/t silver was also reviewed in the three deposits (using the same cut-off grade) for contained metals of 144 million pounds zinc, 25 million pounds lead and 1.3 million ounces silver. Additionally, a further 100 million contained pounds of zinc are estimated to be present in the 1,656,000 indicated tonnes grading at 2.74% zinc at the Santander Tailings Impoundment.

The company in conjunction with its prospective partner, Glencore International A.G., is continuing to work through the terms of a definitive development agreement for the Santander project that will, if concluded, see Glencore provide and operate on the property, a 2,000-tonne-per-day concentrate plant, undertake mining operations on a 'contractor/toll basis' and enter into a long-term concentrate offtake agreement with the company for 100% of the Santander project's production at benchmark terms.
