A program of prospecting, mapping, soil sampling and claim staking has been initiated.  The Company's 100% controlled and optioned land position now encompasses about 6,997 acres. A map illustrating the location of the current Endurance Property is available for viewing at www.endurancegold.com.\nTo date, the summer program has confirmed the discovery of the QL Copper Prospect which has recently returned copper values from a single grab sample which assayed 2.65% total copper associated with malachite, chrysocolla and copper wad.   A second grab sample, located 93 metres away, returned 2750 ppm copper associated with an iron-oxide gossan. Both of the copper-rich samples are hosted within brecciated fine grained and hematized chalcedonic quartz which postdates the Achaean-aged metasediments that outcrop in the area. Both copper occurrences are about 50 metres from the intrusive contact with an Eocene aged quartz latite intrusive. A mapping program and soil sampling grid has commenced over these new prospect areas.   \nOther areas on Endurance's property host previously reported gold values in grab samples up to 1.1 grams per tonnes gold (\"gpt Au\") in crackle breccia. The most encouraging STP-DC target area identified to date is three (3) kilometres north of Evolving Gold Corporation (\"EVG\") North Stock Discovery and about one (1) kilometre east along the interpreted structural trend from EVG's Bald Mountain drill target which has reported chip samples up to 7.45 gpt Au and 5.17 gpt Au associated with breccia. Within this exploration area three additional soil grids and prospecting are planned in areas not previously subjected to systematic sampling.  \nEndurance now controls at least eighteen (18) Tertiary volcanic complexes which define both the northern half and eastern and western extensions of the Rattlesnake Hills Gold District, Wyoming. These Tertiary-aged volcanic complexes are related to the...
