Vancouver, B.C.: Meritus Minerals Ltd. (MML) (TSX-V - MER) continues to obtain good results from its diamond drilling program of the Tordogiin Shil Prospect on its Gutain Davaa Project, Mongolia.
All four holes covered in this report encountered significant mineralization with TSD004 intersecting 30.70m of 3.92g Au/t including 2.70m of 14.44g Au/t and 5.10m of 12.09g Au/t.
Results from all four holes reported are listed in the table below.
It is considered particularly encouraging that of the seven holes for which assays have been received, each hole has contained at least one sample interval assaying over 10g Au/t.

Drill core is transported from drill site to camp where it is logged and cut in half by diamond saw. One half of the core is retained for reference, the other half is sampled in approximately 1 metre intervals. Samples are transported to a laboratory in Ulaan Baatar, are crushed and completely pulverized to 90% passing 75 microns.
Two pulps are split from the pulverized sample. One set of pulps is retained by the laboratory for ICP analysis when required. The second set is forwarded to Meritus where sequentially numbered standards and blanks are included. This set of pulps is then forwarded to a second laboratory where fire assay for gold is carried out on a 30 gram charge. Finish is by AAS. Two standards and one blank are included with every 25 samples submitted. On receipt of results duplicates of selected pulps are forwarded to a third laboratory for check fire assay and to test the efficiency of the pulverization carried out by the preparation laboratory.
