Mr. David Henstridge, President, is\npleased to announce the completion of further survey work at La Trini\nsilver/gold prospect, Jalisco, Mexico, extending the grid 700m to the west.\nIn September, the Company announced the results of an initial 15 hole\nreverse circulation drill program focused on the central 200m strike length of\na rhyolite porphyry host. Surface, underground and drill evidence suggests\nthat the rhyolite porphyry which hosts the disseminated gold/silver\nmineralization, is an intrusion rather than a volcanic. The rhyolite dips\nshallowly to the north have been traced over a distance of 1km east-west and\nremains open along strike and down dip.\nFourteen of the drill holes intersected mineralization. Using a cut-off\ngrade of 30 g/t silver, composite results ranged from a minimum width of 2m to\na maximum of 38.6m, with a best result of 18.3m at a grade of 3.1 g/t gold and\n150 g/t silver in drill hole TRRC-6 (see press release dated September 29,\n2005). Within an area of 200m by 100m the holes intersected disseminated\ngold/silver mineralization over an average 14m thickness, and the\nmineralization remains open both along strike and down-dip.\nAn induced polarization (IP) and resistivity survey, comprising 17 north-\nsouth traverses and centered on the known mineralization, has disclosed an\nextensive zone of chargeability and resistivity anomalies roughly parallel to\nthe projection of the rhyolite porphyry. Several large and strong\nchargeability anomalies with coincident surface geochemical anomalies were\ndefined in the survey outside of the drilled area and will be tested in the\nnext drill program.\nTo better define the westerly extent of the mineralization, the grid has\nbeen extended 700m to the west and soil and rock chip samples have been\ncollected at 25m intervals along lines spaced 50m apart. The previous\ngeochemical survey yielded anomalous results in silver and other metals over a\n500m length and remained open to the west. A total of 317 soil and rock chip\nsamples were collected and submitted to Sonora Sample Preparation, S.A. de\nC.V., Hermosillo, Mexico, for preparation and will be forwarded to IPL\nInternational Plasma L...
