Rye Patch Reports Drilling Starts at Lincoln Hill - Seite 2

A third zone associated with the Octopus mine retuned several samples with significant gold and silver along 160 metre exposure. Assay values reported include 1.62 g/t Au and 568.0 g/t Ag; 1.11 g/t Au and 77.6 g/t Ag; 0.05 g/t Au and 497 g/t Ag; and 0.69g/t Au and 240.0 g/t Ag from rock-chip grab samples. The historic workings follow a northwest oriented breccia zone.

The Alexander Hamilton mine, the fourth corridor, is located 800 metres east of the Buck&Charlie mine and consists of a northeast oriented open-space breccia and quartz stockwork zone oriented to the northeast.

The Roosevelt target is located 500 metres southeast of the Lincoln Hill resource. Historic mines and prospects dotting the hillside are within a silicified rhyolite overlying intensely oxidized andesite. Grab rock-chip samples returned high-grade gold and silver values up to 34.79 g/t Au and 779 g/t Ag, 14 g/t Au and 183 g/t Ag, 97.92 g/t Au and 1527 g/t Ag and 97.5 g/t Au and 1303 g/t Ag along the rhyolite/andesite contact. A low-grade gold halo in the surrounding altered rhyolite returned gold values ranging from 0.11 g/t gold to 2.77g/t gold. The south end of the anomaly is covered by thick colluvium.

The Lincoln Hill drill program will focus on Independence Hill and Roosevelt targets. The average depth of the drillholes will be 150 metres, and a 5,000 metres is planned or approximately 30 drillholes.
