tremendous upside here i think
Nice play with good upside
Farallon Updates Drilling at G-9 Deposit: New High Grade Intersections Continue to Be Made in Southeast Zone & New Zone North of San Raphael Fault Grows
Tuesday April 3, 8:30 am ET
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(MARKET WIRE)--Apr 3, 2007 -- Dick Whittington, President and CEO of Farallon Resources Ltd. (Toronto:FAN.TO - News) ("Farallon" or "the Company"), is pleased to provide a further update of the latest results of core drilling at the Company's Campo Morado polymetallic (zinc, gold, silver, copper, lead) project in Guerrero State, Mexico. Significant intersections of high grade mineralization continue to be made. Drilling continues and remains focused on the Southeast zone of G-9 and the new sulphide lens located in the footwall of the San Raphael Fault.
The latest results are from ten new step-out exploration holes, all in the G-9 deposit. Assays are pending from a further 4 holes and will be released when received. Results from these new holes are included in the attached G-9 Assay Table. To view hole locations on the attached G-9 Drill Hole Location Map, please click on the following link: http://www.ccnmatthews.com/docs/fan0403.pdf
Highlights of the new drilling results are shown below:

These holes both add to the growing "High Grade" starter portion of the Southeast Zone of the G-9 deposit and also confirm the extension of G-9 type mineralization north of the San Raphael fault. Hole 601 is a 50-metre step-out from the highest grade hole drilled on the property to date: Hole 598, which intersected 7.7 metres of 24.27% zinc and 1.5% copper (News Release dated March 15, 2007) and confirms the extension of this very high grade area to the west of the Southeast Zone. These results add further to the size and grade of the planned high grade starter mining area at G-9, with obvious potential economic benefits.
Hole 599 is a 50-metre step-out from the "discovery" Hole 596 that intersected 8.3 metres of 10.79% zinc and 0.89% copper (News Release dated March 15, 2007) in a new zone of G-9 type mineralization north of the San Raphael fault. This is extremely significant as it confirms that these holes have opened up the area north of the fault to additional G-9 type discoveries. The massive sulphide horizon intersected in Hole 599 is the same as that intersected in Hole 596. A further intersection of this horizon is awaiting assay results. As announced in the March 15 News Release, this horizon is related to a package of felsic volcanic rocks that are stratigraphically below the El Largo, Naranjo and El Rey deposits north of the fault. As a result, it opens up the potential for continued discovery of G-9 type mineralization in a large area north of the San Raphael fault.
Dick Whittington said: "These results are further evidence of the potential to add to the G-9 deposit. Hole 601 intersected plus 20% zinc grade material and it has a second mineralized horizon, thus this is a very meaningful step-out hole for both resource tonnes and grade, and for production potential in the initial years of mining. Hole 599 is huge as it reaffirms the potential to significantly add to the resource potential in the G-9 area and the Campo Morado property as a whole.
We are continuing with our two drills/two objectives drilling plan (News Release dated January 24, 2007); however, we will be reviewing our plans on an ongoing basis, to assess the benefits of moving both drills to the area north of the San Raphael fault. Until then, our objectives for this year's drilling program remain unchanged: first, to add to the high grade Southeast Zone of G-9 and secondly, to discover another G-9. We continue to make very real progress toward both these objectives."
The in-house qualified person for the drilling program and selection of samples for metallurgical testwork at Campo Morado is Daniel Kilby, P.Eng. ALS Chemex is the analytical laboratory for the project; sample preparation is done in Guadalajara, Mexico and analysis is done in Vancouver, BC. All samples are assayed for gold by fire assay fusion with a gravimetric or Atomic Absorption (AA) finish. Silver, copper, lead, zinc and 27 to 30 additional elements are determined for all samples by acid digestion, followed by an AA or ICP finish. Duplicates are analyzed by Acme Analytical Laboratories in Vancouver.

Forward-Looking Information
This release includes certain statements that may be deemed "forward-looking statements." All statements in this release, other than statements of historical facts, that address future production, reserve potential, continuity of mineralization, exploration drilling, exploitation activities and events or developments that the Company expects are forward-looking statements. Although the Company believes that the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements are not guarantees of future performance and actual results or developments may differ materially form those in the forward-looking statements. The likelihood of future mining at Campo Morado is subject to a large number of risks and will require achievement of a number of technical, economic and legal objectives, including obtaining necessary mining and construction permits, completion of pre-feasibility and final feasibility studies, preparation of all necessary engineering for underground and processing facilities as well as receipt of significant additional financing to fund these objectives as well as funding mine construction. Such funding may not be available to the Company on acceptable terms or on any terms at all. There is no known ore at Campo Morado and there is no assurance that the mineralization at Campo Morado will ever be classified as ore.
