Four holes have been drilled on the T-11 zone. Mineralization comprises

continues from surface and remains open to depth.

distance of 250 meters To-date, two holes have been drilled. The holes,
which are 100 meters apart, intersected disseminated and vein
controlled pyrite similar to that previously intersected in the G zone.

Drilling is continuing. Assays will be announced once received and
evaluated.

successful; all targets have been intersected and the T-11 and G zones
continue to be extended."
