| Goldeye Discovers 58.38 g/t Au, 531.7 g/t Ag, 2.43% Cu, 21% Pb Over 0.5 m on Lurdes Vein on Sonia Property in Central Chile
Goldeye Explorations Limited ("Goldeye" or "the Company") (TSX VENTURE:GGY) is pleased to announce the results of its recently completed trenching, channel sampling, geologic mapping, and magnetometer and VLF-EM surveying on its Sonia Property, approximately 180 kilometres north of Santiago, Chile (regional map click here). The Sonia Property consists of 41 mineral claims covering a total area of 8,103 hectares. Over 40 low sulphidation epithermal veins containing gold, silver and base metal mineralization have been identified on the block.
The recently completed program was carried out on the northwestern part of the property to which there is partial road access. The objective of the work program was to establish vein and structural target areas for follow-up deeper testing by diamond drilling, to be guided in part by future spectral induced polarization ("IP") surveying. The work was concentrated in two areas, the San Pedro (western area) where 343 samples were taken from 11 veins, and the Rancho - Maria Paa (eastern area, four kilometers to the east) where 173 samples were taken from eight veins.
"We are very pleased to continue to discover new veins on the property on new claims acquired in 2009. There are several old workings on the property and now we have significant drill targets that are easily accessible by road. An increase in silver and copper grades is expected at depth in future drilling due to surface leaching and secondary enrichment. Also, the discovery of three alteration zones with porphyry potential is extremely exciting. The strategy of working in mining friendly Chile as well as Ontario provides the Company with exposure to very large gold deposits", commented Blaine Webster, President of Goldeye Explorations Limited.
The San Pedro vein and structure has been traced on a northwesterly trend for approximately two kilometres, and the recent detailed work was carried out as surface cover and topography permitted, over a strike length of approximately 500 metres on the Upper San Pedro on the southeastern end of the zone (click here). In this area at an elevation of approximately 2,700 metres, the San Pedro, Paola, Lurdes, Isa Mar, Camila and Hade veins were trenched and sampled. Approximately one kilometre to the northwest at an elevation of 1,900 metres along the structural grain, the San Pedro, Rosario, Rosario North and Evelyn veins were sampled. Immediately to the east of the San Pedro vein zone area are the Mina (Mine) Morada and Felicidad veins on third party ground being evaluated and operated privately by local miners.
In the following tables the highlights of the sampling results from the current program are reported. All of the veins strike northwesterly to north and dip steeply to vertical. Because of the steep dips, the horizontal sample distances are close to true widths. The veins/zones were sampled in rock exposures where available, in hand excavated trenches and in pits, shafts and tunnels, excavated recently by local small scale miners and by prospectors and miners from pre-colonial and colonial times. Sample sites were for the most part evenly spaced along the trend of the zones. A complete set of trench results (click here) and a map of vein locations (click here) are posted on the Goldeye website, www.goldeye.ca.

Rancho - Maria PAA Area
The veins/structures in this area all trend approximately north-south, are at an elevation of 1,550 - 1,900 metres to the south of the Rio Sobrante, and occur over an east-west distance of approximately 1.2 kilometres, four to five kilometres east of the San Pedro area. On the north side of the river is a well developed hydrothermal alteration zone covering at least one square kilometer, which is the most northerly of three such zones that lie along a north-south trend within the Goldeye holdings. The other two zones are located in the Paso del Inca and Puma areas, three and 15 kilometres respectively to the south. These areas of hydrothermal alteration may be related to porphyry type intrusives.

All samples were put in cloth bags and in sacks that were closed at the end of each day. These were transported by company personel to Actlabs in Coquimbo where they were prepared and analysed. Fire assay with atomic absorbtion finish was performed on 30 g samples. Actlabs provided standards and blanks with repeats on approximately every tenth sample during the assay process. Rejects and pulps have been returned from the laboratory and stored by Goldeye.
