Hole LF-69 was drilled beneath a backhoe trench excavated through a flexure ("roll") in the T-11 zone to test for a NW-trending plunge to the mineralization in the trench. It intersected the main gold mineralized zone at vertical depths of from approximately 10.0 to 35.0 meters. The mineralized zone in the hole is wider than at surface confirming a NW-plunging shoot coincident with the flexure. Drilling is planned to follow this new shoot to depth. Hole LF-69 collared in strongly oxidized rock and almost immediately intersected gold mineralization of 3.98 g/t gold over 2.0 meters (see Table 1). This suggests there may be other gold zones paralleling the main T-11 zone in the hanging wall.
The 1.5 meter deep back-hoe trench was excavated in the oxidized zone: (Ref.: Press Release of May 2, 2007). Intersections in the trench were:
3.05 g/t gold over 28.0 meters incl. 6.72 g/t gold over 10.0 meters incl. 9.34 g/t gold over 6.0 meters incl. 13.08 g/t gold over 2.0 meters and 16.92 g/t gold over 1.0 meter
The drill contractor is Connors Argentina S.A. Split/sawn core samples are assayed by Alex Stewart (Assayers) Argentina S.A., a certified ISO 9002 laboratory. In accordance with the Company's QC/QA policy all high grade samples are being check assayed at a different laboratory.
With the recent liquidity concerns over the investments of excess funds, the Company wishes to confirm that it has no investments in asset-backed commercial paper. All excess funds are currently held by the Company in either cash, government treasury bills or government backed promissory notes, all of which have very short maturity dates and are capable of being liquidated on very short notice.
