(TSXV: GPG)\n ("Grande Portage" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it\n intends to drill its 100% owned Pass Property gold target in July,\n 2011. The Pass property is a gold-silver-base metal property located\n near Smithers, B.C.\n\n\nIn 2008 the Company completed 24 NQ-size diamond drill holes totaling\n 1,569 metres from five drill setups testing a strike length of\n approximately 700 metres. The initial drill program was designed to\n focus on the high-grade gold-silver bearing polymetallic quartz veins\n identified by previous operators and confirmed by the Company's grab\n samples collected in 2007, where previous prospecting work had outlined\n a strike length of almost 1 kilometre. The primary vein is\n characterized by strong silicification and sulphide minerals in\n variable concentrations including pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena and\n sphalerite, from disseminations to massive sulphide. The vein itself\n pinches and swells along strike and down dip as evidenced both in the\n trenches and in drill hole intersections. Wallrock is strongly\n silicified with propylitic (epidote) alteration and disseminated\n sulphide mineralization.\n\n\nDrill hole intersections of the primary quartz vein provided widths from\n between 0.23m to 9.93m with the best hole (PAS-08-23) intersecting 2.46\n metres grading 12.84 g/t gold, 29.21 g...
