The property comprises a total of\n4,805 ha (11,873 acres), extending 11.5 kilometres northwest-southeast by\n6.0 kilometres east-northeast-west-southwest, consisting of 14 contiguous\nmineral tenures over an area of approximately 70 square kilometres.\n\n\nA diamond drill was mobilized onto the property in mid-February and\n10 holes were completed from 8 pads before demobilization in early April. The\ndrill holes were all completed from pads on existing roads, located entirely\nwithin the geochemically defined boundaries of the Erie Creek Stock (see press\nrelease dated Feb. 9, 2007).\n\n\nAnalyses have been received for holes 1, 2, 4, 5 and 6. Weighted average\nvalues have been determined for select intervals, as follows:\n\n\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\nHole From To Interval Copper Molybdenum\nNumber (m) (m) (m) (%) (%)\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\n1 218.53 229.19 10.66 0.143 0.016\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\n1 220.05 236.82 16.77 0.097 0.023\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\n2 75.28 92.04 16.76 0.104 0.001\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\n5 106.20 110.00 3.80 0.159 0.001\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\n5 230.60 235.30 4.70 0.199 0.002\n-------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\n\nThe core comprising the sampled intervals was cut using a rock saw, with\none half submitted for analysis and one half retained for subsequent analysis.\nThe core was submitted to Acme Analytical Laboratory Ltd in Vancouver, BC for\nGroup 1DX analysis. Sampled intervals averaged approximately 1.52 m (5 feet)\nexcept for a number of high grade mineralized intervals for which shorter\nsample intervals were utilized.\n\n\nA number of short intervals in hole 5 had relatively high grade copper\nintervals (up to 3,765 ppm or 0.3%) at either or bot...
