DRILLING UPDATE - FERGUSSON ISLAND GOLD PROJECT, PNG 14 December 2007
KEY POINTS
A thick interval of 67.0 metres at 0.81 g/t gold has been intersected in Hole GDH024.� This is a significant result as it substantially increases the known resource on Section 990SE. A shallower zone of 8.0m at 2.93 g/t gold was also intersected.�
����������� Significant anomalous molybdenum was also intersected with;
1.0 metre at 0.10% molybdenum and
7.0 metres at 0.056% molybdenum
Hole GDH020 intersected two thick low grade zones of 20.0 metres at 0.55 g/t gold and 11.0m at 0.51 g/t gold.
Hole GDH021 intersected a very thick low grade zone of 96.4 metres at 0.40 g/t gold.
Hole GDH022 intersected a zone of 7.9 metres at 1.10 g/t gold.
Hole GDH023 intersected three significant zones of;
9.0 metres at 1.39 g/t gold
7.0 metres at 0.86 g/t gold and
9.0 metres at 1.37 g/t gold
A total of 20 holes have now been completed in the Gameta infill drilling program for a total of 2,567 metres.� An interim resource estimate will be undertaken as of the end the end of December 2007.
DETAILS
A total of 20 holes have now been completed in the Gameta infill drilling program for a total of 2,567 metres. A further one to two holes are expected to be completed before the December 2007 – January 2008 break is taken. At this stage an interim resource estimate will be undertaken and is expected to be completed by the end of January 2008 when assays have been received. Completion of the infill drilling program is scheduled for June 2008, with a decision to proceed to a full feasibility study to be taken shortly after.
Assay results for another five holes have been received. Significant intersections are listed below, with program to date results appended.

Hole GDH 024
Two significant intersections were encountered in this hole on Section 990SE.� These include an upper higher grade interval of 8.0m (70.0m to 78.0m) at 2.93 g/t gold and a lower low grade but thick interval of 67.0m (96.0m to 163.0m) at 0.81 g/t gold. The thick interval is of considerable interest as it substantially increases the resource on this section above that previously known.
The thick interval includes the following higher grade zones;
