Fire assay gold results have been received. The 2004 results now define two significant soil gold anomalies. The Burleg River SS-1 soil gold anomaly is a 2km X 500m gold zone and the second soil gold anomaly, SS-5 is located 17km east northeast of SS-1 and encompasses an intermittent zone of elevated gold values covering approximately 5km. Between these two areas lies a zone that returned values of 4.37 g/t Au, 1.45 g/t Au, 1.54 g/t Au, 1.1 g/t Au, 0.44 g/t Au, 2.26 g/t Au, 2.7 g/t Au and 1.12 g/t Au from pan concentrate sediment samples in a closed basin. Fortress still awaits the platinum-palladium and other trace element results for SS-5.
