Feb 13, 2008 (D Draper) - Hole MT04-42 returned gold values from two zones of the feldspar porphyry. The upper zone, at 97.8m downhole, assayed 1.594 g/t Au over 1.2m. The best gold assays from the lower zone, from 218.45 to 246.50m, were as follows: 1.521 g/t over 0.85m; an average of 0.762 g/t over 3.9m; 0.539 g/t over 0.8m and 0.649 g/t over 1.0m. Hole MT04-43 was drilled 300m north of 42 and the best assay returned was 3.334 g/t Au. This 0.9m sample at 108.1m downhole was taken across a contact between clastic metasediments (greywacke/argillite) and felspar porphyry.
