"We are extremely pleased to see such impressive numbers from the
Nadejda target," comments Dr. Quinton Hennigh, technical advisor to the
Company. "This target lies about 1.5 kilometers southeast of the Ruy
target where our first drill hole there encountered 87 meters at 2.14
grams per tonne gold. The 2.1 million oz Logo gold resource lies about 1.5
kilometers north of Nadejda. Based on strong similarities of
mineralization between these three zones, we believe that they may all be
potentially part of the same large granite-related gold system."

- Diamond drill hole MTC1176 was vertical and reached a total depth of
119.3 meters. This hole intersected 3 zones of mineralization: 1) 24
meters at 7.36 grams per tonne gold (78.7 feet at 0.215 oz per ton gold)
starting at surface including 1.6 meters at 95.85 grams per tonne gold
(5.2 feet at 2.799 oz per ton gold), 2) 6.3 meters at 0.52 grams per
tonne gold (20.7 feet at 0.015 oz per ton gold) starting at 40.4 meters
and 3) 22.7 meters at 0.70 grams per tonne gold (74.5 feet at 0.020 oz
per ton gold) starting at 58 meters. Although the exact orientation of
these zones is presently unknown, they may be sub-horizontal like those
at Logo approximately 1.5 km north of Nadejda.
- All mineralized intervals are hosted by sericite-altered granite
with variable intensities of quartz stockwork veinlets. Intense shearing
is evident in some sections of granite. The uppermost interval of
mineralization is oxidized, and the lower two are unoxidized displaying
about 0.2-0.5% associated pyrite. Very low sulphide contents are typical
of all gold zones associated with the Big Hill granite intrusion.
- At Nadejda, gold mineralization is locally accompanied by highly
anomalous bismuth, up to 270 parts per million. Contents of other
elements including silver, base metals, arsenic and antimony are very
low to below detection. Such a metal assemblage, along with locally rich
gold grades, is characteristic of "tombstone-type" gold systems.
Ongoing Drilling
Drilling is continuing at the Trun project, with recent holes testing
new targets as well as potential extensions to the Logo resource.
- Diamond drill hole (MTC1178) was drilled in the nearby Tumba target
and intervals with visible gold were observed in the core.
- A step-out hole (MTC1181) drilled approximately 200 meters north of
the 2.1 million oz Logo gold resource encountered long intervals of
alteration. A second step-out hole (MTC1183) is presently underway.
- Three Diamond drill holes were drilled in the southern Trun block,
also known as Little Hill. Hole MTC1180 was drilled below the historic
KD pit and MTC1182 was drilled along the northern extension of the KD
zone in the vicinity of a trench that returned 69 meters at 0.99 grams
per tonne gold (226 feet at 0.029 oz per ton gold). Hole MTC1179 tested
the Zlata zone.
About the Trun Gold Project, Bulgaria
Gold mineralization at Trun is associated with large granite and
syenite stocks that intrude a broad anticline of metamorphic rocks. The
geologic setting and styles of mineralization display striking
similarities to that of "tombstone-type" gold deposits in the Tintina Gold
Belt of the Yukon and Alaska including the Ft. Knox gold deposit, Alaska
and the Eagle gold deposit, Dublin Gulch, Yukon.
EurOmax holds 100% control over approximately 67 square kilometers
centered on the Big Hill and Little Hill granite intrusions, each with
multiple associated gold-in- soil anomalies. The Logo resource, a NI
43-101 compliant inferred resource (see Technical Report on the Gold
Resources at Trun Property dated January 31, 2011 which is available under
the Company's profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com) of 2.1 million ounces
contained gold in 91 million tonnes at a grade of 0.70g/t Au (0.3g/t Au
cut-off) occurs along the northeastern margin of the Big Hill Intrusion in
the northern part of the property.
The 2011 Drill Program encompasses approximately 4,000 meters of
Diamond core drill holes that will test extensions of the Logo resource
and the K2 zone along with at least six untested gold-in-soil anomalies.
In addition to drilling, geophysical surveys, including magnetics and
induced polarization-resistivity, have commenced over the Little Hill
intrusion in the southern part of the property.
Quality Control and Quality Assurance
Drill core was logged, cut and sampled by EurOmax personnel at the
Company's sample preparation facility in Bulgaria. Samples were prepared
and assayed by Eurotest Control Laboratory in Bulgaria. Eurotest is an
ISO9000 certified laboratory that follows internationally accepted methods
and procedures and has stringent quality control and assurance practices.
Because of the presence of coarse gold at Nadejda, samples were submitted
for metallic screen assay. Both coarse and fine fractions were assayed by
fire assay with a gravimetric finish and the final assay calculated by the
weighted average gold content of the different fractions. Other elements,
including bismuth, were assayed by ICP-OES following an aqua regia digest.
Quality control samples, including duplicates, standards and blanks, were
submitted by EurOmax.
Roger Moss, Ph.D., P.Geo., a member of the EurOmax Technical Advisory
Board and a "qualified person" as defined by NI43-101, supervised the
