Drilling intersected a prominent, steeply dipping, north-trending shear zone, characterized by quartz veining, sulphide mineralization, and locally high gold and silver content. Assay results from mineralized sections in the first hole are shown below, with the central part of an approximate 1 meter thick vein section containing 148 g/tonne gold and 203 g/tonne silver across 0.2 meters and a second lower vein containing 79 g/tonne gold and 110 g/tonne silver across 0.36 meters.

"We are very encouraged by these drill hole assays from our Clubine Gold property and look forward to receiving the results of the remaining eight holes," comments Company President, Richard Hughes. "Our team is currently assessing expansion of our exploration program with additional drilling and evaluation of the condition of historical underground workings. Future drilling and exploration plans for the property will be reviewed and revised accordingly, guided by the information gathered from the remaining holes."

Mineralization on the Clubine property occurs as a number of quartz and quartz-carbonate precious and base-metal veins in the upper 500 metres of the Hall Formation and lower part of the Elise Formation, in the Keystone Mountain area. The old workings are on five levels, but production is limited with recovery of 123,293 of gold and 239,463 grams of silver from 3676 tonnes mined. In 1989, diamond drilling intersected gold-bearing quartz veins and silicified zones beneath the No. 5 level of the Clubine-Comstock (082FSW200) occurrence. Gold occurs in the vein quartz and also within adjacent silicified and pyritic zones. Based on results from the 1989 work and on previous underground exploration, the Company is drilling both above and below the Number 5 level for gold zones down plunge and along strike from known mineralization.

Future exploration will include additional diamond drilling in order to determine extent and continuity of known gold zones.
