Mr. Douglas Eacrett reports
UPDATE ON OWYHEE PROPERTY DRILLING PROGRAM
Regent Ventures Ltd. has now received the results of the drilling portion of the exploration program carried out on its Owyhee property near Mountain City, Nev. The property is situated on the Independence trend 85 miles north of Elko, Nev., and 40 miles north of the Jerrit Canyon mine. The drilling program consisted of seven reverse circulation drill holes comprising a total of 4,180 feet of drilling. The drilling program confirmed the occurrence of gold and silver mineralization along strike and at depth on the historic Protection vein zone. The Protection vein zone was traced by drilling and trenching over a strike length of 2,500 feet both near surface and at depth. The Owyhee vein zone is open to the northwest of the Protection vein for 2,300 feet.
Drilling results are as follows.

The remaining 21 samples tested for

of 20 g/t or less.

The remaining seven samples tested for
this hole all yielded gold values of
less than 0.1 g/t and silver values of
3.90 g/t or less.
ORH2B
All 33 samples tested for this hole
yielded gold values of less than 0.04
g/t and silver values of 5.60 g/t or
less.

All 17 samples tested for this hole
yielded gold values of less than 0.08

The remaining 31 samples from this
hole yielded gold values of less than
0.09 g/t and silver values of 5.80 g/t
or less.
ORH5 5 10 0.113 1.50

The remaining 16 samples from this hole
yielded gold values of less than 0.07
g/t and silver values of 17.5 g/t or
less.
The mineralized zones are nearly a mile in length and remain open. Gold mineralization within the zones typically is granite-hosted and consists of multiple, subvertical 5-to-10-foot-wide zones grading between 0.10 and 6.0 g/t gold.
The exploration program was laid out by Jim Nyrehn, geologist, and overseen by the company's qualified person, Richard Addison, PEng, who has reviewed and approved this release. Lang drilling, a division of Boart Longyear, was the drilling contractor.
