Vice President of Exploration, Dr. George Gale states: "Hole RD-08-68 was drilled to test for mineralization below hole RD-08-67. Hole RD-08-69, was designed to test the eastern extension of the mineralization. These holes intersected only the mafic intrusion and did not intersect either the A or B lense. No further holes will be drilled in that area of the deposit, until a clearer geological picture and geophysical target is developed. Holes RD-08-70 and RD-08-71 tested the western extension of both the A and B lenses. Both drill holes intersected the A lense. Hole RD-08-71 also intersected the central parts of the B lense, whereas hole RD-08-70 overshot the top of the B lense. Holes 68 and 69 determined what may be the eastern extent of the B lense. Holes 70 and 71 are on the western most section drilled to date. Borehole geophysical surveys indicate that both lenses are still open to the west of the section containing holes 70 and 71."
