---NEWS---Grande Portage Resources Ltd. Discovers Numerous Unknown Ground Anomalies Outside of Merry Widow Pit-Drilling to Begin
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(CCNMatthews - May 29, 2007) - Grande Portage Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:GPG) ("Grande Portage" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that preliminary results of the Ground Mag Geophysical Survey along the 3.5 kilometre Merry Widow trend has successfully identified several new and impressive targets. These targets possess similar geophysical signatures as those at the Merry Widow Pit (focus of 2006 drilling) and are believed to represent new and previously unknown massive sulphide mineralization. This critical Mag data will be utilized as the Company commences drilling at the Merry Widow in the next few days.
The Company announces that it will complete a ground UTEM survey over the entire Merry Widow and Old Sport trends. The Company has contracted S.J. Geophysics Ltd. of Delta, B.C. to complete the work commencing mid July. The ground survey will enhance and further define sulphide targets to depth beyond the airborne work that has been completed.
As well, commencing next week the Company will undertake a property wide program of regional silt sampling, geological mapping and prospecting. This will provide a comprehensive data package over this favorable geological belt for the first time on the Merry Widow, Old Sport as well as the newly acquired Cherry Claims.
