TYLER ANNOUNCES EXCELLENT RESULTS FROM EXPLORATORY PHASE 1 METALLURGICAL TESTING FOR BAHUERACHI PROJECT, MEXICO


Tyler Resources Inc. is very pleased to announce the results of preliminary metallurgical testing of samples from various mineralized domains in the Main Zone porphyry and skarn system at Bahuerachi undertaken by Process Research Associates Ltd of Vancouver, B.C.


Metallurgical testing indicates that all types of mineralization tested responded well to standard processing procedures for the recovery of copper with gold, silver, molybdenum and zinc recoverable as byproducts.


Scope of Metallurgical Testing


The study was commissioned by Tyler to identify at an early stage any metallurgical issues such as poor recoveries of metals, or requirements for complex processing which could have negatively impacted the exploration findings to date.  No such significant issues were identified.


Six composite samples of drill core were submitted for testing.  Four were of primary sulphide mineralization and two were of mixed oxide/sulphide domains.


All of the samples were subjected to standard batch froth flotation procedures to recover sulphide minerals.  Preliminary acid leach tests were performed on samples from the oxidized zones.  Results of testing are summarized below.  


Specific Gravity (density) tests of the various potential ore types were also conducted for use in the current resource estimation study.


Primary/Hypogene Sulphide Mineralization


1) Porphyry Testing


A porphyry sample with a head grade of 0.46% copper, 3 g/t silver and 0.03 g/t gold was submitted as representing the anticipated average grade within the Main Zone Porphyry to date. Standard flotation tests recovered a total of 93% of the copper present.


A second porphyry sample, representing the anticipated mining cut-off grade within the Main Zone Porphyry, with a head grade of 0.23% copper, 2 g/t silver, 0.01 g/t gold and a high molybdenum grade of 0.028% was submitted for testing to determine if molybdenum could be recovered in addition to copper.  Recovery tests produced copper recoveries ranging from 93 to 98%, with molybdenum recoveries of up to 71.7%.  It is noted that molybdenum recoveries may depend on and be optimized by finer initial grinding of the material processed.

News Release – June 19, 2006



In summary, testing of hypogene porphyry produced copper recoveries ranging between 93 to 98%, with final concentrate grades of 19% copper, 0.92% molybdenum, 0.5 g/t gold and up to 86 g/t silver.  Preliminary results indicate that further upgrading is possible and that a good baseline response to bulk flotation was established, with copper, molybdenum, silver and gold reporting to the concentrates.


2) Skarn Testing


Two skarn composite samples were tested.  The first sample had head grades of 1.24% copper, 11 g/t silver, 0.09 g/t gold, 0.15% zinc and the second sample had head grades of 2.07% copper, 15 g/t silver, 0.18 g/t gold and 0.15% zinc.  Trace molybdenum at 0.005% and 0.006% was also present in the material submitted for testing.


Extremely high copper recoveries of 98.8% and 98.1% respectively were achieved by traditional flotation methods. Gold and silver recoveries are also noted as excellent, with a concentrate grade reached from the skarn zones of 32% copper, 142 g/t silver, 2.5 g/t gold, 0.2% lead , 0.032% molybdenum and 1.8% zinc.


Oxidized (mixed suphide/oxide) Mineralization


Two samples of mineralized material with mixed oxide and sulphide mineralization were submitted.  These were expected by the Company to represent the most challenging processing environment at Bahuerachi with regards to traditional metallurgical treatment methods.


One sample was from the transition zone between the chalcocite blanket and the underlying primary sulphide material, and the other was from near surface, oxidized high grade skarn.


1) Chalcocite Blanket Testing


Head grade of the sample was 1.14% copper (including 0.76% acid soluble copper), 0.01 g/t gold, 3 g/t silver and 0.007% molybdenum.  The material was treated with standard flotation, followed by acid leaching of the tails (residue) to extract copper not recovered by flotation.  Flotation tests recovered in the order of 55% of the total copper, with additional metals present in the float concentrate including 126 g/t silver and 0.73% molybdenum.  Acid leaching of the flotation residues resulted in the extraction of 74.5% of remaining copper, with acid consumptions of 41.2 kg/ton.


An alternate test using only leaching to recover copper yielded recoveries of 83.3% copper after 71 days, with an acid consumption of 72.9 kg/ton.


2) Oxidized Skarn Testing


Head grade of the sample was 2.62% copper, 23 g/t silver, 0.18 g/t gold and 0.15% zinc.  Surface oxidation in the skarn units is generally noted to occur only to relatively shallow depths (+/-15-30 meters).


In this case, flotation recovered 34.1% of the copper present, and subsequent acid leaching of the residue recovered 80.7% of the copper not recovered by flotation, with an acid consumption of 58.8 kg/ton.  Potential recovery for other metals was not calculated for this sample.


An alternate test using only leaching to recover copper yielded recoveries of 77.6% copper after 71 days, with an acid consumption of 80.6 kg/ton.

Oxide Testing Observations


The initial studies on mixed sulphide/oxide ores to date suggest that standard metallurgical processing routes could be used to recover metals from both the sulphide and oxide ores. Results also support further column testing to evaluate heap leaching potential of the oxide zones, including evaluation of bacterial assisted heap leaching. Studies of acid base accounting neutralization values as well as ability of the material to generate acid from the sulphides present suggest that overall acid consumption requirements should be reasonable.


Conclusions


The Company is very pleased with the results of this preliminary phase of metallurgical testing, which indicate that all of the mineralized zones tested respond well to established process routes widely used in the mining industry.  This study is a major milestone in the advancement of the Bahuerachi project, as it indicates that the potential extraction of copper, as well as other metals present in the system including gold, silver, zinc and molybdenum, does not pose any readily identifiable technical challenges.

TYLER CONFIRMS NEW MINERALIZED COPPER SYSTEM

AT NORTH SKARN, BAHUERACHI PROJECT, MEXICO


Tyler Resources Inc. is very pleased to announce assay results of the first two diamond drill holes completed in the North Skarn zone discovered earlier in the year.


Results from the first two core holes at the North Skarn confirm that the target hosts significant copper mineralization, including 19.5 meters grading 0.57% copper, as well as locally elevated values of silver, gold and molybdenum.  These findings are consistent with the identification of a new mineralized center distinct from the Main Zone where the bulk of the drilling has been conducted to date.


A first pass widely spaced series of drill tests are currently underway to evaluate the North Skarn target. Drill holes RC-37 to 40 were drilled on the west side of the skarn, and diamond drill holes BAH-82, BAH-84 and BAH-87 have been completed on the east and central parts (see plan map).  Diamond drill hole BAH-89 is currently being completed.  All holes are testing areas where surface mapping and surface geochemistry have indicated potential for wider zones of mineralization within the skarn system.


The current plan for the North Skarn target is to complete a series of 6 to 7 diamond drill holes, after which the drill rig will be assigned to continue drilling the Main Zone porphyry system while all assay results from the first pass testing of the north Skarn target are received, compiled and interpreted.


Results are presented in the following table and discussed below.  A drill section is posted with the news release on our website at www.tylerresources.com.  Drill hole collar locations are shown on the attached drill plan map.
