About Exeter
Exeter is a Canadian company exploring epithermal gold-silver and
porphyry copper-gold projects in Argentina. Exploration at Exeter's most
advanced project, La Cabeza, in Mendoza Province, has delineated an
inferred resource of 720,000 ounces of gold, comprising 12.0 million
tonnes grading 1.8 g/t gold, at a cut-off grade of 0.5 g/t gold.
Completion of the field program for the pre-feasibility study has
enabled reconnaissance drilling on new targets to commence.
On February 24, 2005 Exeter announced a significant gold discovery at
Cerro Puntudo in Patagonia. Follow up diamond drilling is scheduled. Two
additional gold projects under option from CVSA (an AngloGold Ashanti
subsidiary) are advancing to the drilling stage.
