(TSX-V GPG) ("Grande Portage" or "the Company") is pleased to announce a preliminary update from its diamond core drilling program at the Herbert Glacier prospect north of Juneau, Alaska. Six NQ holes have been completed and a seventh is in progress:\n\n\n >\n\n\nQuartz veins and sulfidized shear zones have been encountered in every hole at predicted intervals for targeted mineralized zones. The Main or Number 1 vein has been known since about 1980 when it was discovered as it was exhumed from glacial cover. Carl Hale, CPG., traced the Main vein on surface in 2007 for more than 800m (approx 2,625 feet). Its presence, strength, and continuity have been confirmed in all holes drilled thus far in 2010 (except shallow hole No. 103 which was targeted for a separate vein).\nThe Main vein was previously explored in twenty drill holes reported in historic programs conducted by geologist George A. Moerlein for Houston Oil and Minerals (later Tenneco Minerals Company) and Echo Bay Mines Ltd. during 1987-1989. So far, the 2010 holes have been targeted generally at the Main Vein and are not known to twin any specific Houston or Echo Bay hole.\nA parallel vein in the hanging wall of the Main Vein had originally been mapped locally (Hale, 2007). This quartz vein has been discovered in each of the 7 Platform A holes where it contains sulfides and visible free gold demonstrating its continuity. This has now been named the "Ridge Vein" located about 100m north of the Main Vein. The Ridge vein is now believed to be at least 300m (approx 985 feet) long.\nIn addition, the Deep Trench Vein was known previously only from a strong but poorly exposed vein structure about 200m south of the Main Vein. In this drill program, it has been encountered as a strong complex vein between 321m-326m in the deepest hole d...
