Appalaches Resources Inc. - Mont-de-l'Aigle exploration accelerates, 8,000 metre drill program approved
RIMOUSKI, Jan. 13 /CNW Telbec/ - Following a review of the results from
the first phase of the Mont-de-l'Aigle drill program, the Company has
scheduled an aggressive follow-up drill program. An 8,000 metre diamond drill
program to test deeper geophysically indicated extensions of the near-surface
mineralization will begin soon.
The results of the first drill program conducted on the Mont-de-l'Aigle
property confirm the existence three fault and breccia-hosted chalcopyrite,
hematitic magnetite and pyrite bodies comparable to important world-class iron-
oxide copper-gold deposits. The main mineralized structure defined to date is
200 to 500 metres wide and has a strike length of more than 2 Kms.
During the first phase of the 2003 drill program (1,230 metres), 12 holes
were completed into the three mineralized structures. Ten of the holes
intersected mineralized hematite breccias from 2 to 5 metres thick. Two of the
holes were abandoned due to difficult drilling conditions. The following table
summarizes the mineralization encountered in drilling to date.

These drill results, taken together with the compiled geological
information gathered over two years of trenching operations indicate that the
mineralized structure could represent the cap of an important copper deposit.
The Mont-de-l'Aigle property contains volcano-sedimentary rocks that have
been intruded by mafic and felsic dikes and sills. The mineralization occurs
as chalcopyrite, hematite, magnetite and pyrite in breccias and stockworks, in
mantos type replacement zones and along the contacts with mafic dikes.
The mineralization is associated with gravity and magnetic anomalies and
responds well to induced polarization (IP) and resistivity exploration
methods. Soil geochemistry has proven to be very effective in locating new
mineralization. The mineral deposit model so far generated by exploration
results suggest that Mont-de-l'Aigle should be classified as a Cordilleran-
type copper and iron-oxide occurrence as described abundantly in the
geological literature.
Ressource Appalaches will aggressively begin the 2004 exploration program
with an ambitious 8,000 metre drill program that will target deeper copper-
gold zones, particularly beneath the large main mineralized zone.

All samples described in this press release are selected surface grab
samples. Assays were performed by Chimitec in Val d'Or, using atomic
absorption. The contents of this press release were prepared by Alain Hupe,
