In early 2005, Deer Trail Mining Company contracted with Connors Drilling to commence an underground diamond core drill program.
This 2nd phase of exploratory drilling inside the PTH Tunnel of the Deer Trail Mine - has been completed.
The Phase II underground diamond core drilling program was primarily designed to target known horizons - of mineralization and identify new mineralized - horizons throughout the main ore channel of - the Deer Trail Mine.
The Company completed 7,235 feet of diamond core drilling and finished 13 underground drill holes.
According to preliminary reports - by the Company's geologist, all of the holes drilled - were reported to intersect mineralization - within their designated targets.
That report states that a total of approximately 514 feet of mineralization was intersected and consisted mostly - of sulfide minerals - (e.g. tetrahedrite, galena, pyrite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite).
Other intercepts were encountered through oxidized mineral not reported in this total, as well as zones of subtly - altered rock that may contain high mineral values - and offer significant potential.
The Company is now working on final independent core - logging and splitting verification, and plans to ship - its core samples to an independent lab for analysis.
