The program consisted of 12 holes\nfor a total of 1256 metres.  Assay results are awaited.\n \n \n \n \n Five holes were completed on one of three patented\nclaims known as the Rising Fawn Zone.  All holes in the Rising Fawn\nZone cut stockwork quartz mineralization as anticipated in a rhyolite\ndike and footwall granite.\n \n \n Importantly\n \n \n ,\n \n \n panning of the selected drill cuttings revealed\nvisible gold in several of the drill holes.\n \n \n \n \n Seven of the holes were drilled in the GAP located in\nthe Perry Zone, from a newly established drill pad in the central\nPerry claim. The new GAP drill holes intersected prominent green to\ngray quartz in a hanging wall (“HW”) vein in six of the seven\nholes. The vein is immediately beneath the overlying altered\nvolcanics. Mineralization continued below the HW vein in the form of\nsilicification and stockwork quartz veins in the host rhyolite dike\nand underlying Precambrian granite.  All seven holes had good\nintervals of silicification and stockwork quartz. Gold panning of\ndrill cutting rejects from the HW vein zone from two of the drill\nholes in the GAP revealed visible gold. Panning of drill rejects in\nthe other GAP holes was not performed.\n \n \n \n \n Geological sections\n \n \n will be\nreleased when available.\n \n \n \n \n Greg Hahn, VP-Exploration comments: “We have drilled\n1.7 kilometers of strike length and up to 250 metres of dip to date on\nthis impressive mineral system. Some gaps remain to be drilled but\noverall the system is well mineralized throughout the area drilled to\ndate and remains open along strike in both directions and down dip.\n Outcrops o...
