Glass Earth Gold Limited (TSX VENTURE:GEL)(NZAX:GEL) ("Glass Earth") today
announced that Newmont has commenced drilling at the WKP prospect in the Hauraki
Goldfield. 


'WKP' GOLD PROSPECT

Glass Earth's joint venture partner, Newmont, continues with its active drilling
programme on Glass Earth's Hauraki prospects and has now commenced diamond
drilling at the highly prospective Wharekirauponga ('WKP') gold prospect.


The WKP area is a 2km mineralised alteration zone, just 10km from Newmont's
Martha gold mine at Waihi (see map below) and 5 km north east of the Golden
Cross deposit (634,000 oz gold production in the 1990's). The WKP epithermal
system has magnetic/alteration characteristics similar to the Martha mine and
has open-along-strike potential for several kilometres southward, being at least
900m long, 150m wide, and unconstrained to over 300m depth. 


Exploration in the late 1980's and early 1990's identified a very extensive
altered and gold mineralized system with multiple intersections including:


150m @ 0.93 g/t Au, including 17.7m at 4.0 g/t Au; 17.1m @ 3.87 g/t Au; 32m
@1.45 g/t Au; 2m @ 7.7g/t Au; 3.1m @ 9.7g/t Au; 1m @48 g/t Au.


Initial drilling by Newmont is to target a zone of strong silicification and
veining between 180-380m, with further drilling also targeting a second parallel
500m+ vein system not previously drill tested. 


Qualified Persons

Glass Earth's exploration programmes are carried out under the supervision of
Glass Earth's President and CEO, Simon Henderson, M.Sc, M.AUSIMM, F.SEG. Mr.
Henderson meets the qualified person requirements (as defined by National
Instrument 43-101) with more than 30 years of experience in the gold mining and
