NEWS: Hope this is a start of somthin big. This DAMN Bre-x thing is killing everything that has ever touched a drill bit..... NEWS RELEASE TRANSMITTED BY CANADIAN CORPORATE NEWS FOR: FREEWEST RESOURCES CANADA INC. ME;TSE SYMBOL: FWR AND GREATER LENORA RESOURCES CORPORATION TSE SYMBOL: GEN APRIL 7, 1997 Freewest and Greater Lenora Drill Results Matawin Gold Belt, Ontario MONTREAL, QUEBEC--Freewest Resources Canada Inc. and Greater Lenora Resources Corporation are pleased to announce the results of an initial 3-hole drill program undertaken on the Bylund property located in the Matawin gold belt, near Thunder Bay, Ontario. The property is situated in the Dawson Road Lots about 700 metres south of a new, significant gold occurrence made by Battle Mountain Gold late in 1995. Currently, the Matawin gold belt is the focus of vigorous exploration efforts by a few major and numerous junior companies, largely along a number of breaks' or fault systems containing gold occurrences. Such breaks' commonly mark the contact between Timikaming-type sediments and Keewatin volcanics. The drilling tested the depth extent of the Bylund occurrence, which was recently stripped by the joint venture. The stripping uncovered a broad, NNE-trending deformation zone within carbonatized and silicified Timiskaming sediments. Sampling outlined a highly anomalous zone up to 19 metres wide assaying greater than 1.0 g/t Au with individual assays returning 6.9, 14.6 and 5.6 g/t Au respectively. Drill Results are as follows: /T/ Drill Hole No. Grade (g/t Au) Width (m) Vertical Depth (m) B-97-1 1.1 6.6 98.0 B-97-2 20.3 1.8 39.6 2.81 2.3 51.8 B-97-3 0.54 1.4 54.8 /T/ All 3 of the holes intersected anomalous gold values ranging from 0.1 to 0.5 g/t enveloping the higher grade sections over widths of up to 15 metres. The drilling in conjunction with the stripping has confirmed a new theory that NNE-trending shear-fractures carry the highest gold values. Such structures are completely open along strike as well as at depth. A new showing situated 130 metres away from the Bylund occurrence assays up to 2.81 g/t Au. A number of additional potentially auriferous NNE-trending structures on the property will be covered by an IP survey. These structures will be trenched and drilled this field season. Additional drilling will also be undertaken at the Bylund occurrence to add to the depth and strike extent of mineralization encountered to date. end
