Ken Stead, President CEO, states, "The first phase of exploration, which included induced polarization geophysics, trenching and 1640m of diamond drilling in 12 drill holes, has now been completed on the Hand Camp Property. A second phase starting this fall is in planning and will include additional line cutting, induced polarization geophysics and diamond drilling. With data collected so far and the very encouraging results from this first phase, the company feels that this project warrants a full scale exploration program to determine the true significance of the deposit. With just four areas drilled at such wide intervals within such a large structure and the fact that we intersected gold in all 12 drill holes, we feel there is high potential for further encouraging results within this mineralized structure. Also the number of targets yet remaining to be tested outside this determined structure lends itself to a high degree of optimism that this project will be of great value to the company."
