PORTAL FOR THE TD-1 DECLINE SHAFT COLLARED

Eaglecrest Explorations Ltd. (EEL-TSX.VENTURE & EAT.FSE FRANKFURT) is pleased to report that the underground development contractor AMTRAC Ltda. has mobilized equipment and personnel for development of the decline shafts in the Trinidad area (TD-1) and Manganeso area (MD-1) to the Doña Amelia zone. Both declines are within the Doña Amelia zone that covers an area of 40 square km within the Company’s 298.84 square km San Simon project in northeast Bolivia. Collaring of the TD-1 decline shaft was started with the first round on July 29, 2005.

AMTRAC Ltda.’s mining engineer, shift bosses, personnel, construction material and mining equipment (scoop tram/LHD, compressor, jack legs etc.) have been arriving on site over the past two weeks. Constructions of surface support facilities and infrastructures have been ongoing concurrently with clearing of the actual portal area. The initial rounds of the portal was a partial profile of the full decline shaft profile and have been followed by two additional rounds on a daily basis (AMTRAC is currently running one shift only). As of July 31, 2005 the TD-1 decline shaft had reached a length of 4.0 metres (m) with a face exposure of 2.4 m (0.6 m short of the full face profile). The main quartz vein/structure (MQV) has a width of 1.5 m in the last face of the portal development. Additional advances are required before the brow of the portal will be established and the portal timbers can be installed.

Surface mapping in the Trinidad area and interpretation of existing diamond drill hole data including the decline shaft pilot holes have defined the MQV as a folded anticinorium with wave length of 80 to 100 m between pares of anticlines. The maximum dilation is along the syncline hinge zones with the minimum dilation along the anticline hinge zone. The hinge zones are plunging down dip at N130E or 50 degrees of the dip direction.

The TD-1 decline shaft in the Trinidad area has been redesigned to follow a syncline hinge zone down plunge from the collar rather than straight down dip oblique to the hinge zones. This will allow for maximum MQV width within the decline shaft. The profile is 3.0 by 3.0 m with a slight curve of the back for added strength and security. The incline shaft will be collared at a 25 degree slope which will increase to a maximum of 40 degrees before it reaches its target depth 146 m below portal elevation after 255 m of development. A 20 m addition to the decline shaft along the down plunge extension of the MQV will serve as a sump during the simultaneous development of two drifts (2.5 by 2.5 m profile)along the MQV to the west (200 m) and to the east (100 m) to selected drill hole intersections of the MQV and explore the width variations across the anticinorium.

Total development of the TD-1 is 520 m that will produce an estimated 10,000 tonne of ore to be trucked 8.2 km to the gold recovery plant in the Manganeso area where it will be processed through the plant in batches to determine the true in-situ gold grade of the MQV in the Trinidad area. The gold recovery plant is anticipated to produce approximately 50% flotation gold concentrate and approximately 50% jig plus table concentrate with estimated 50% gold bullion for an overall gold recovery estimated at 95%. Both concentrates will be sold to an international smelter. The TD-1 decline shaft is scheduled to be completed in early December 2005.

Surface installation for the MD-1 decline shaft will initiate in the final stages of the TD-1 development so collaring of this decline shaft can be done immediately subsequent to the completion of TD-1 in December 2005. The MD-1 is scheduled for completion in March 2006.

The underground exploration development and bulk sampling program is being supervised by Tor Bruland, P. Geo. and Don Allen, P. Eng., both of whom are Qualified Persons under the Canadian National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects.

hier wiedermal eine interessante nachricht über eaglecrest. langsam läppert sich die sache und die angestrebte produktion kann beginnen

INDEPENDENT ON SITE FIRE ASSAY LABORATORY COMMENCED OPERATIONS

Eaglecrest Explorations Ltd. (EEL-TSX.VENTURE & EAT.FSE FRANKFURT) is pleased to report the on-site Fire Assay laboratory commenced operations on August 3, 2005, which will reduce the time required to secure assay results from several months to a few days . ANALAB S.R.L. of Peru operates the laboratory independently under the overall supervision of Mineral Processing Engineer Gary Hawthorn, P.Eng. (B.C.). who is the Qualified Person for the laboratory.

The laboratory is located in a secured fenced area adjacent to the Company’s camp 10 kilometres (km) from the Doña Amelia zone that covers an area of 40 square km within the Company’s 298.84 square km San Simon project in northeast Bolivia.

During the first 10 days of regular operation of the laboratory in early August, ANALAB S.R.L. has been processing standard Fire Assays on 20 to 40 samples per day. Since drilling commenced in May the company has accumulated more than 800 diamond drill core, surface, trench, underground development and bulk muck samples which will be analyzed over the next couple of weeks during completion of training of locally hired sample preparation crew. Priority will be given to the decline shaft pilot holes and the underground development samples during this phase.

It is anticipated that the laboratory will reach the planned full capacity of up to 100 samples per day. Quality control is done using several QA standards and blanks that are being prepared from the Doña Amelia zone. Additional standards will be prepared over the coming months and pulps will be shipped to several commercial laboratories for round robin analyses prior to use as QA samples.

The laboratory will operate 7 days per week to process:
1 samples from the gold recovery plant
2 underground exploration samples
3 diamond drill core samples.
4 miscellaneous surface samples

A refinery furnace will be installed in the secure laboratory area to convert table concentrate from the gold recovery plant into gold bullion. The refinery furnace will be operated by ANALAB S.R.L. and is scheduled to be fully operational prior to full operation of the gold recovery plant.

Und hier die Nachricht in deutsch:

Unabhängiges Schmelzlabor vor Ort ist in Betrieb

Probenergebnisse jetzt innerhalb weniger Tage verfügbar

Vancouver, BC, Kanada, 18. August 2005 – Eaglecrest Explorations Ltd. (TSX: EEL – FSE: EAT) ist erfreut, mitteilen zu können, dass das unabhängige Schmelzproben-Labor vor Ort seine Arbeit am 3. August 2005 aufgenommen hat. Damit wird die Zeit bis die Ergebnisse vorliegen von mehreren Monaten auf wenige Tage reduziert. ANALAB S.R.L. aus Peru betreibt das unabhängige Labor unter der Gesamtaufsicht von Gary Hawthorn P. Eng (B.C.).

Das Labor befindet sich auf einem umzäunten Grundstück, das an Eaglecrest’s Lager angrenzt, in 10 km Entfernung von der Doña Amelia Zone.

Während der ersten 10 Betriebstage Anfang August, verarbeitete ANALAB S.R.L. zwischen 20 und 40 Standard Schmelzproben pro Tag. Seit Beginn der Bohrungen im Mai 2005 führte Eaglecrest mehr als 800 DC Bohrungen und Arbeiten an der Oberfläche durch, zog Gräben und entnahm umfangreiche Proben. Diese werden im Rahmen der Ausbildung lokaler Mitarbeiter, die zukünftig Erzproben aufbereiten, analysiert. Während dieser Phase liegt die Priorität auf den Versuchsbohrungen des Senkschachtes und den Probenentnahmen aus der unterirdischen Entwicklung.

Es wird erwartet, dass das Labor die volle Kapazität von bis zu 100 Proben pro Tag erreicht. Die Qualitätskontrolle erfolgt durch die Anwendung verschiedener QA Standards und Rohlinge aus der Doña Amelia Zone. In den nächsten Monaten werden zusätzliche Standards vorbereitet, und die Aufschlämmungen werden an verschiedene kommerzielle Labors verschickt, wo sie eine Ringversuch-Analyse durchlaufen, bevor sie als QA-Proben verwendet werden.

Das Labor wird sieben Tage pro Woche arbeiten, um:

1. Proben aus der Goldgewinnungsanlage
2. Proben aus der Untergrundexploration
3. Proben aus DC Bohrungen
4. diverse Oberflächenproben

zu verarbeiten.

Ein Schmelzofen wird im Gebiet, in dem sich das Labor befindet, installiert. Er wird das Konzentrat aus der Goldgewinnungsanlage zu Goldbarren schmelzen. Der Schmelzofen wird von ANALAB S.R.L. betrieben und es ist vorgesehen, dass dieser einsatzfähig ist, bevor die Goldgewinnungsanlage voll in Betrieb geht.

Das DC Bohrprogramm, die Untergrundexploration, die Entwicklungsarbeiten und das umfangreiche Probeentnahme Programm werden von Tor Bruland, P. Geo. und Don Allen P. Eng beaufsichtigt. Beide besitzen die Qualifikation gemäß den Standards nach NI 43-101.

Im Namen des Vorstands,

Carl A. Erickson
