results.

The interval from 67.1 to 115.9 meters is composed of a sheared,
silicified felsic volcaniclastic unit (breccia) with disseminated
pyrite and pyrrhotite and crosscutting thin quartz veinlets and
potassic and sericitic alteration.
Mineralization in the interval from 122.2 to 143.3 meters is
associated with a coarse-grained hydrothermal breccia with visible
molybdenite and other disseminated "sooty" sulfides in a silica
matrix with potassic alteration of feldspars. Within the
mineralized interval, there also an intensely altered heterolithic
breccia that is cross-cut by calcite veins and silica plus
disseminated "sooty" sulfide veins.
These mineralized zones are separated by an unmineralized
Paleozoic mafic dike. The mineralized zones are identical to those
high grade zones encountered in historic drilling and logged by the
Qualified Person of this release.
A complete table of results, including a more comprehensive
location map and collar map can be found on the company's website,

Currently, three holes have been completed on the Buzzard
project and the third hole has been sent to the laboratory. The
drill rig has moved to the Jefferson project for a 3 to 4 hole
drill program. The drill will then return to Buzzard for another
phase of drilling that is being planned.
The second rig is now drilling the first hole at the Belk
Project.

approved by Dennis J. LaPoint, a Registered Member of SME, who is a
Qualified Person under National Instrument 43-101.
QA/QC Sampling and Analytical Protocols
The sampling and assaying of the drill core included QA/QC
protocols to monitor for potential contamination, precision and
accuracy of results including the regular submission of blank
samples and certified reference standards. Samples were assayed
using a 30 g fusion with AAS finish by AHK Geochem located in
Fairbanks Alaska, a member of the AHK Group, an ISO 17025:2005
accredited geochemical laboratory. Sample preparation was completed
in their facility located in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Samples
exceeding 3 ppm gold are re-assayed with gravimetric finish and
those checks support the results presented above. Check analyses on
rejects will be completed by ALS Chemex in Reno, Nevada.
We seek Safe Harbor.
