This work has identified a poorly exposed 500 meter by 300 meter zone of widespread higher grade gold mineralization at Logo. Four parallel higher grade zones up to 500 meters long have been mapped. The four zones range from 5 to 35 meters in width and all strike at 55 degress and dip steeply. Previous drilling had been drilled oblique to the strike of this zone and had failed to test the higher grade mineralization.EurOmax trench results are tabled below:Trun Trench Results(using a 0.5 g/t COG)----------------------------------------Trench ID length (m) Au (g/t)----------------------------------------TR-996 0.5 4.3----------------------------------------TR-997 22.5 4.9----------------------------------------TR-998 2.0 3.8----------------------------------------TR-9102 27.0 4.1----------------------------------------TR-9106 39.0 2.9----------------------------------------Incl. (at 1g/t COG) 5.0 4.9----------------------------------------Incl. (at 1g/t COG) 11 6.5----------------------------------------TR-9108 11 6.3----------------------------------------Mapping and prospecting in the Zlata area in the southern portion of the licence has identified a large area of ancient gold-silver workings, called Jamkite, which remains undrilled. The workings at Jamkite have been mapped over a strike of more than 1,200 meters and a width of up to 150 metres. Sampling of waste dump material has reported numerous high grade results up to 25.8 g/t gold, 442 g/t silver and strongly elevated base metals.Quality Control and AssuranceTrench and rock chip samples samples were prepared and assayed by SGS Chelopech laboratory in Bulgaria. SGS Chelopech follows SGS Global methods and procedures and has stringent quality control and assurance practices. Gold was assayed by a 30 gram fire assay with an AAS/ICPOES finish while other elements were assayed by a two acid digest with an ICPOES finish. Higher grades were ass...
