BO-07-50 is located approximately 40\nmetres north of the Marathon PGM - Benton property boundary and 50 metres\nsouth of the previously announced hole BO-07-48 (Sept 10, 2007 press release),\nwhich cut 1.91gpt TPM and 0.31% Cu over a 33 metre core length, including 6.0\nmetres grading 3.7gpt TPM and 0.21% Cu.\n\n\nResults have also been received for holes BO-07-36, 37 and 38, drilled\napproximately 500 metres north of the Marathon PGM - Benton property boundary.\nHole BO-07-38 cut 9.55 metres grading 1.52 gpt TPM and 0.40% Cu.
