Assay results will be announced as soon they are received by the company, said Mr. Walton.

A total of seven holes for a total of 996.8 meters were drilled on the property testing 5 different anomalous zones.

167.8 meters were drilled utilizing a HQ size drill core and 830.6 meters utilized a NQ size drill core.

A total of 375 core samples were logged, split and sent for assaying and will be tested for total copper, gold, silver, molybdenum, zinc and lead content.
