Reported that a program of trenching will be initiated in March, 2009 to follow-up positive rock
sampling results from the Salbo permit.
During 2007, regional geological mapping at 1:20,000 scale has been conducted over essentially the entire permits area, and extensive rock sampling has provided several targets for follow-up work. On the Yake permit, of 154 rock assays received to date, 4 assays returned greater than 1 g/t gold, to a maximum of 17.2 g/t gold. On the Salbo permit, of 180 rock assay results received to date, 13 assays returned greater than 1 g/t gold, to a maximum of 13.8 g/t gold. Eleven of the high grade rock samples were collected near an artisanal site near the center of the permit. Follow-up work programs will be developed once all current data have been assembled and interpreted.
