RE: no sign of weakening after 700 meter!!The two rigs already on site continue to step out to the north at FDN, with holes CP-06-64 and 66
completed on line 600N, holes CP-06-65, 67 and 68 completed on line 700N, and hole CP-06-69
in progress on line 800N. Maps, cross sections, photos and full gold and silver assay data may be
viewed at www.aurelian.ca
As previously reported (PR July 6, 2006) hole CP-06-64 (Az. 86° dip 60°) on line 9583600N
intersected intense epithermal veining and brecciation with occurrences of visible gold. Hole CP-
06-66 was drilled from the same location, but at a steeper angle (Az. 88° dip 69°). This hole
intersected a broad zone of epithermal mineralization, including a zone of intense epithermal
stockwork and brecciation in silicified volcanics. Several occurrences of visible gold have been
observed, and detailed logging of this hole is in progress.
On line 9583700N, where hole CP-06-65 (Az. 93° dip 60°) intersected intense epithermal veining
and brecciation with occurrences of visible gold (PR July 6, 2006), two additional holes have now
been completed. Hole CP-06-67 (Az. 86° dip 60°) was drilled approximately 50m west of hole 65,
and also intersected a broad zone of epithermal mineralization, including a zone of intense
epithermal stockwork and brecciation in silicified volcanics. Detailed logging of this hole is in
progress. Hole CP-06-68 (Az. 83° dip 70°) was drilled from the same drill platform as hole 67, and
was designed to test the mineralization down-dip to the west. The hole encountered zones of
intense silicification within the conglomerate unit before intersecting weak to moderate epithermal
mineralization in what is interpreted as the western downdropped fault block (west of the main
mineralized block). Detailed logging of this hole has not yet begun.
On line 9583800N, hole CP-06-69 (Az 90° dip 60°) is in progress and to date has intersected
intense epithermal stockwork and brecciation in intensely silicified volcanics, with chalcedonic
quartz with fine sulphides. Hole CP-06-69 marks the northernmost hole drilled to date in the FDN
target.
“We now see strong epithermal mineralization over a strike length of approximately 700 metres of
the FDN system with no signs of weakening as we continue drilling to the north.” says Aurelian
President & CEO Patrick F. N. Anderson. “With the addition of two more powerful diamond drill
rigs, we can begin to test the target to the south and west where it also remains open.”
To date, 20 holes have been completed in the FDN target, with results released for twelve of
these holes. Results for the next batch of holes will be released when they are fully received and
compiled.
