The\n permit for the phase 1 drill program will allow for up to 18 drill\n platforms. Construction work on the drill platforms and access roads\n will begin as soon as possible and the Company is seeking a drill\n contractor to undertake this drill program.\n\n\nData from a recently completed geophysical survey produced a target area\n in the central part of the porphyry roughly 800 m east-west by up to\n 500 m north-south and is the subject of this phase 1 drill program.\n\n\nThe geophysical anomalies coincide favourably with the geology mapped\n along the streambeds. The strongest conductors can be attributed to a\n strongly altered intrusive body that is in contact with the surrounding\n sediments and volcanics which have locally been altered to hornfels\n near the contacts. Previous rock sampling surveys along these drainages\n have yielded highly anomalous copper values over an area of at least\n 800 m east-west by 600 m north south, again supported by the observed\n geology.\n\n\nMr. Carter said: "We are pleased with the rapid progress that the\n Company has made...
