A total of 593 soil samples from the Handcamp gold property have been submitted to Actlabs in Ontario, Canada for Gold and base metal analysis.

The company is anxiously awaiting those results as they will assist in identifying other gold anomalies throughout the property, which in turn will provide important data for additional drill targets.

Results from the first 150 soil samples revealed a very strong gold anomaly 400 meters south of the high grade gold showing posted on Kat's website. The company feels that if this is any indication as to what might be discovered through this latest batch of soils submitted for analysis, it would increase the Handcamp gold potential significantly.

Not to be overlooked is the fact that quite a number of massive to semi-massive sulphide anomalies including Silver, Zinc, Copper & Lead, have also been detected in the first round of soil analysis and rock samples as well.

This combination of Gold and base metals, lends itself to a potential of much higher value than just gold alone, which is another reason why Kat has made the Handcamp property one of its high priority projects for 2010.

As soon as results are received from this latest batch of soil samples, the final 800 soil samples will be submitted for gold analysis. Upon receipt of these results, data will be compiled and a very definitive drill program will commence.

At that point in time Kat will develop a (NI) 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for this Handcamp property.
