VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 3, 2008) - Tumi Resources Limited (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TM)(OTCBB:TUMIF)(FRANKFURT:TUY). David Henstridge, President, is pleased to announce the completion of a 19 line-km gradient array induced polarization (IP) survey undertaken by Suomen Malmi OY (SMOY) of Finland over the Company's 100%-owned Vitturn 1 and 2 licences, Bergslagen District, Sweden.
Vitturn 1 and 2 are located at the northern end of the Stollberg mineral fields where numerous old base metal and silver mines and workings occur along a north-south trending belt over a distance of 12kms. Some of these mines have exceeded 750m in depth.
The IP survey was undertaken to test the Company's theory that the favourable mineral horizon extends northwards under till cover into Vitturn 1 and 2. An independent geophysicist has interpreted the results on behalf of the Company and has reported: "the data quality for the survey is of a very high standard with both the observed resistivity and chargeability data very coherent. The most obvious feature delineated by the data is the coincident high chargeable-low resistivity body that strikes in NNW orientation for approximately 400m. The correlation of the elevated chargeability and the low resistivity, with the good levels of data quality and the high coherency of the chargeability decays makes this a priority one anomaly". The chargeability anomaly map may be viewed on the front page of the Company's website www.tumiresources.com.
The Vitturn licences abut Lundin Mining's Tvisbo claim to the north: Lundin has completed geophysical surveys and drilling and have publicly stated that they have intersected resource-grade sulphide mineralization within this claim.
Mr Henstridge stated: "The proximity of this 400m long geophysical target along strike from known resource-grade mineralization make this a high priority for Tumi. An initial drill program will be organized as soon as possible".
The qualified person for Tumi's projects, David Henstridge, has visited all of Tumi's projects located in the Bergslagen District of Sweden and has verified the contents of this news release.
On behalf of the Board,
David Henstridge, President & CEO
