GARCIA FLATS

Released the results from gold fire assays, trace element geochemical results, and initial petrographic results from the first phase drilling program. Three holes totaling 5,385 feet (1,641 m) were drilled with a flooded reverse circulation drill rig. A high of 0.08 g/t Au was intersected in RC hole GFR-3 at 492-494m. Approximately 320m to the west, RC hole GFR-2 contains three separate five foot intercepts in carbonate-altered volcaniclastic units ranging from 0.024 g/t to 0.039 g/t Au at 495-497m, 512-514m, and 518-520m respectively.

Reported to have commenced its first-phase dirlling at the Garcia Flats gold project. Lang Exploration Drilling is to conduct this first-phase drill program. A flooded reverse circulation drill rig will be used to complete up to six holes, totaling up to 2,000 metres (6,400 feet). Initial drill testing of the Garcia Flats property will focus on locating evidence of mineralization in the units underlying the pediment cover. Three sizeable target zones have been developed with dimensions ranging up to 1,000 metres (3,280 feet) in width and 3,500 metres (11,480 feet) in length

Reporte that plans to drill the property were submitted to the company's environmental consultant in Reno. It was expected that the application for the proposed drill program will be submitted to the Bureau of Land Management before the end of the month. Drilling of the Garcia Flats project is anticipated for spring or summer 2007 depending on drill rig availability.
