A drilling contract has been let to Falcon Drilling Ltd of Prince George and is now in progress. To date, assays from one hole have been received which returned 9 feet of 1.28 gold and 4 feet of .28 gold. The location and footage on this hole as well as assays and footage on the other drilling will be released as soon as they are received. ________________________________________________________________ 1987-10-27 03:00 ET - News Release Mr R.E. Davis reports: The drilling program on the company's 100% owned McLymont claim group in the Skyline, Iskut River area of north west BC is still in progress.

Davis reports: Exploration on the 100% owned McLymont Creek claims in the Iskut River gold belt was successfully completed October 20 1988. Surface core drilling on the high grade Northwest zone which was completed September 25 1988, was followed by detailed geological mapping and geochemical soil sampling on other target areas. Drill core assay results have now been returned from the last holes.

Drilling has now partly outlined these zones over a length of about 1000 feet, a width of about 250 feet, to a depth of about 500 feet below the surface. Detailed analysis of this season's results is now in progress in order to schedule the 1989 exploration program. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Assay results from first 11 McLymont property holes 1989-08-15 20:22 ET - News Release Mr Gerald Carlson reports: The company has received the results of the first 11 diamond drill holes completed on the Northwest zone of the McLymont property, Iskut River area, northwestern BC.

Phase I of the 1989 drilling and surface exploration program was designed to test this new discovery to greater depths and to locate new gold bearing mineralization. Interpretation of this detailed drilling has now shown the mineralization to consist of several closely spaced, gentle to steeply dipping zones with a minimum strike length of 900 feet, extending from surface to depths of 600 feet. The zones are semi-conformable with bedding and appear to coalesce along a central, northeast trending structure. This central axis has produced the wider intersections, such as 149.3 feet grading 0.207 oz/ton Au (including 15.1 feet of 0.81 oz/ton Au and 16.1 feet of 0.645 oz/ton Au) in hole 88-28 at -87 degrees. The zones are open along strike and at depth. Significant results from holes 1 to 24 are as follows: HOLE FROM TO LENGTH CU AG AU (FEET) (FEET) % OZ/T OZ/T 1 255.1-252.0 6.9 2.32 0.86 1.50 2 99.6-100.5 0.9 0.26 10.48 3.42 223.4-225.9 2.5 3.75 0.81 1.94 3 304.0-314.0 10.0 0.30 0.13 0.44 5 42.0- 47.8 5.8 0.24 0.41 0.72 6 89.5- 97.0 7.5 0.48 0.17 0.42 9 64.5-146.5 82.0 0.30 0.41 0.12 Incl 84.3-106.5 22.2 0.73 0.04 0.23 11 129.0-136.0 7.0 0.68 0.30 0.25 217.9-239.0 21.1 0.47 1.74 0.77 16 210.5-222.0 11.5 0.98 0.54 0.349 17 124.0-126.8 2.8 0.05 0.33 0.700 147.0-157.0 10.0 0.27 0.08 0.290 18 87.5- 96.4 8.9 0.42 0.76 0.470 19 219.0-223.0 4.0 0.96 2.11 0.954 20 126.0-128.7 2.7 2.12 0.52 0.785 21 26.3- 27.8 1.5 0.01 0.07 0.257 22 16.0- 25.0 9.0 0.32 0.32 0.549 204.3-208.1 3.8 0.48 0.36 0.225 23 39.0- 46.3 7.3 0.45 0.36 0.247 53.1- 59.0 5.9 0.49 0.37 0.309 72.1- 90.0 17.9 0.20 0.28 0.401 24 59.3- 73.6 4.3 0.62 0.32 0.230 195.0-196.0 1.0 1.27 0.31 0.427 Results on holes 89-25 to 89-38 are pending. In addition to the main zone several strong nearby geophysical anomalies have been outlined and await detailed drilling. Surface mapping has also disclosed new vein and disseminated porphyry-like mineralization in the same area which also remains to be tested. In light of these encouraging results, the phase II program, budgeted at a minimum of $400,000, will be underway shortly. This phase will provide additional drilling on the main Northwest zone as well as comprehensive drill tests of other targets in the immediate vicinity. Construction of an airstrip on the property is being considered to improve accessibility. The company's intention is to follow with a phase III program of underground exploration which would carry on through the winter. 1989-08-31 16:51 GIM Gulf International Minerals Ltd 2.60 News-------------------------------------------------------------- Release Murray Pezim joins board; 2.5m SMF offering proposed ---------------------------------------------------------------- Drilling results from McLymont Creek 1989-09-12 17:09 ET - News Release Mr Gerald Carlson reports The 1989 phase II program at McLymont Creek, northwestern BC is now underway. The program will consist of a minimum of 10,000 ft of surface diamond drilling. This drilling will focus on expanding the reserve potential of the Northwest zone and testing a number of adjacent geophysical targets. The company's consultant has submitted a report recommending a $2 million underground examination of the Northwest zone. Preliminary preparations for this program are now underway.

Gifford reports The company has received additional results from its 100% owned Inel property. Both properties are located in the Iskut gold camp, northwestern BC. At the McLymont property, holes No. 3 through 8 explored a fault offset to the south of the main zone. Hole No. 5 of this series was successful and includes 3 feet from 289 to 292 at 0.940 oz/ton Au. The remaining holes confirmed the presence of the offset zone. Drilling has resumed testing on the main mineralized zone in an area to the north. At the Inel property road access to the adit site has been completed. The adit to explore the AK zone has been collared and underground mining is now under way. Work in this program will include at least 1700 ft of drifting and 10,000 feet underground drilling. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Work progressing on McLymont project 1990-08-23 20:01 ET - News Release Also News Release (C-AVD) Avondale Resources Inc Avondale Resources Inc (AVD) Dr Gerald Carlson reports Work is progressing well on the company's McLymont project in the Iskut gold camp, northwestern, BC. Nineteen drill holes for a total of 8550 ft have been completed on this 100% Gulf owned property. All have hit the targeted mineralized structures. This is part of a 12,000 ft phase I program which has two objectives. The first, involving infill drilling on the Northwest zone, was designed to test new deposit modelling and to better define the limits of mineralization. This program, which has been focused in the central part of the deposit, has been successful in confirming new geological concepts, namely that the richer grades and thicker widths occur as replacement lenses within an elongate shear zone. This zone has been defined over 1000 ft and is open to the north and at depth. Within this shear, two main lenses, an upper gold-rich zone and a lower gold-copper horizon have been defined, as well as several subsidiary lenses. Several of this year's drill holes have encountered visible gold.

Preliminary sample results include 0.27 oz/ton Au over 6.2 ft, 0.77 oz/ton Au over 6.2 ft (these two samples are contiguous for an average of 0.52 oz/ton Au over 12.4 ft), and 1.10 oz/ton Au from a grab sample. Additional drill testing is planned for this portion of the deposit, in the vicinity of hole 88-35 which intersected 6.9 ft grading 3.55 oz/ton Au. The trench information and adjacent drilling suggests that the southern portion of the deposit would be amenable to open pit mining. The second objective of the program is to drill test new targets. These, in order of priority are: Northwest zone, north extension - the deposit is open to the north and the northernmost drill holes, some with visible gold, suggest a high grade lens is being approached. Down-dip extensions - targets will be tested beneath the existing deposit and within the adjacent McLymont fault. Geophysical targets - magnetometer and EM profiles have designed targets in a geological environment very similar to the Northwest zone in the central part of the property. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Initial Inel assays received 1990-08-27 18:00 ET - News Release Also News Release (C-AVD) Avondale Resources Inc Avondale Resources Inc (VD) Mr G.G.
