A total of 24 diamond drill holes were placed to test the Arrow Tungsten Zone. Many of these holes were placed to test beneath the trenches listed in the above table. The following table summarizes the Arrow Zone drilling and corresponding trenches, where applicable:

Notes: Drill holes not listed in Table 3 did not contain values for molybdenum of 0.05% or better. Also, widths are not necessarily true widths.

Drill hole STW07-03 was drilled down through the molybdenum bearing breccia body from the east flank, and diagonally transects the body from east to west. The width and grade of intercept (24.39 metres of 0.308% Mo) compares well with the historic drill results. However, nominal mineralization and interpretations of hole STW07-01 along the north margin of the breccia body suggest that this hole may have stopped short of the main molybdenum bearing breccia. The remaining drill holes (STW07-10 to STW07-30) listed in Table 3 were drilled along the Arrow Tungsten zone. Molybdenum values along this zone are associated with skarn depositional environments, and are coincident with elevated tungsten values, as well as elevated zinc in places.

Rozan Drilling Program

A single drill hole of 107.29 metres length was completed on the Rozan Property. This drill hole was designed to test the northerly strike extension to the gold-bearing Rozan Main Vein. The vein had been drilled by Emgold in 2000, and as previously reported, Hole 00ROZ-01 returned 1.45 g/t gold over 4.1 metres and hole 00ROZ-02 returned 60.73 g/t gold over 0.25 metres (from Emgold news release dated October 6, 2003). The property has the potential to host both high-grade gold in single quartz veins and stockwork style low-grade gold in quartz vein systems. The 2007 drill hole 07ROZ-01 intersected a sequence of narrow 1 to 2 centimetre size quartz veins. The highest assay returned from sampling of core was 0.2 grams per tonne over 1.7 metres. The main vein was not intersected in this drill hole. Further drilling along the Main Vein, and within the stockwork mineralized zone to the east, was postponed due to weather constraints.

Idaho-Maryland Mine Update and Joint Venture Opportunities

Emgold is focused on the permitting and reopening of the Idaho-Maryland Gold Mine located in Grass Valley, CA. Emgold is in the third and final stage of completing the Environmental Impact Report for the project, and expects the Draft Environmental Impact Report to be available in late July. Emgold is exploring opportunities to advance its Stewart, Jazz and Rozan properties through joint venture or other means. David Watkinson, President and C.O.O. for Emgold stated, "We are excited by the trenching and drilling results on our B.C. properties and believe these properties have significant exploration potential for molybdenum, tungsten, and gold. We would like to see these properties advanced for our shareholders and believe finding a partner to further work on the properties would be the best approach as we focus our energy and resources on the Idaho-Maryland Project."
