(\"Spire\")(TSX.V: CZS) is pleased to announce that the first 8 diamond drill holes have been completed in the 2010 ‘Phase 1' diamond drill program, consisting of step-out and infill drilling, on the South Discovery Zone of the Prospect Valley Gold Property in Merritt, BC.Drill holes have been oriented to strike the extension of known surface mineralization at depth. The South Discovery Zone is part of a geochemical and geophysical anomaly extending nearly 2km in total strike length and up to 400m wide. Currently, the core samples are being logged and will be submitted to Assayers Canada of Vancouver, BC for geochemical analysis. Results of these assays will be published when they become available. Should this drill program indicate sufficient continuity of grade, the results will be used to estimate an initial NI 43-101 compliant resource for the South Discovery Zone.Brian Buchanan, President of Spire stated: \"We are very pleased that the Phase 1 diamond drill program for 2010 has completed 8 holes at this time, and drilling is continuing. This project is very important to CZS's growth, and the fact that we are drilling very early in the season is very exciting. The operator on this project is funding the exploration and diamond drilling at the Prospect Valley Gold Project, which provides CZS tremendous upside potential without having to spend on exploration. Management is optimistic about what the 2010 exploration and drilling programs will provide.\"The Prospect Valley Gold Project contains several bulk tonnage gold targets and is only 30km south of the world-class Highland Valley Copper Mine. In this complex geological environment, the property has the potential to host a significant gold mineralizing system and is viewed as a low grade, bulk mineable epithermal gold target.
