Got some GOLD RD DD on DEFUNCT ADU neighbor I remembered: wouldnt it be funny if all the DEFUNCT companies I rember come back to life with NEWTECH working all the OLD trailings...that left gold behind....and the NEW VIENS in this PASTE & Cut are also economic more so with 600 $ an ounce gold...so what was gold in 1999 when the went DEFUNCT as ADU? I bet it was $300 ish:: BE aware ADU in OZ -austrialia is lkisted at link in STOCKHOUSE so be aware it is miss placed not that OLD ADU. stockhouse.com
Acquires and Begins Drilling at Historic United Eastern Mine
ADDWEST MINERALS INTERNATIONAL LTD. ("ADU-V;ADWMF-L") - Acquires and Begins Drilling at Historic United Eastern Mine
Charles S. Williams, President of Addwest Minerals is pleased to announce that the Company has acquired, through an option agreement, the rights to explore and mine the United Eastern Mine located in the state of Arizona. This mine has historically produced over 600,000 ounces of gold at an average grade in excess of one ounce of gold per ton. The property is adjacent to the United Western Mine acquired by Addwest Minerals dining 1998 and is only two miles from Addwest's Gold Road Mine and Mill Complex. The Gold Road Mine and Mill is a 500 ton per day fully permitted and operational facility and was closed in June of 1998 due to prevailing gold prices. Ore mined from the United Western-United Eastern mines would be processed at the Gold Road Mill. The higher historical grade at United Eastern would be economic at today's gold prices.
A drilling program has been initiated to determine the continuity of the vein between the United Eastern and the United Western Mines. Results are expected by late October.
The United Eastern acquisition is a continuation of Addwest's goal to control all significant mineralization within the Oatman District in Arizona. The Oatman District has produced over two million ounces of gold of which over 1.3 million ounces were produced from land now controlled by Addwest.
The option payment for the United Western Mine was renegotiated from US$10,000 and $10,000 in Addwest stock to US$2,000 and $18,000 in stock, being 153,846 shares.
Actual results may vary from any forward-looking statement that Addwest Minerals International, Ltd. make

ADDWEST MINERALS INTERNATIONAL LTD ("ADU-V") - Financial Results as at September 30, 1998
Charles S. Williams, President of Addwest Minerals International Ltd. reports:
Significant Events and Transactions
The third quarter was a significant one for Addwest. Addwest continues to consolidate its position in the Oatman District adjacent to the Gold Road Mine, through the acquisition of the United Eastern Mine. In September, an eight hole drill program was designed to determine the continuity of the United Eastern - Tom Reed vein system between the United Eastern and United Western Mines now controlled by Addwest. Work to date indicates that the vein and vein structure is indeed continuous between the two mines a distance of approximately 4000 feet. The vein is the most productive vein in the Oatman district with historical production of 1.49 million ounces of gold at an average grade of 0.75 oz per ton. All eight holes encountered the vein structure and significantly added to the understanding of the vein system. It appears that the top of the vein is between 300 to 400 feet below the present surface. The United Eastern encountered the top of the vein at 300 feet below surface and was mined to 1200 feet below surface. Significant drill results were announced in the October 29, 1998 press release and included significant thickness of mineable grades including an intercept of 18 feet true width of .23 oz. gold per ton which included 1.1 feet of 1.3 ounce gold per ton. Addwest is very encouraged by these results and will pursue additional exploration as funds allow.
The Moss Property was returned to its owners so that Addwest could concentrate its efforts on more promising projects.
Addwest also continues to develop its interests in U.S. Zeolite, Inc. specifically investigating the suitability of the use of zeolite in cat litter. Marketing and engineering studies continue.
Continuance of Operations
These consolidated financial statements have been presented on a going-concern basis which assumes that the Company will realize its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business. The Company has a working capital deficiency in excess of $1.4 million, is currently operating at a loss and lacks adequate funding to continue operations throughout 1998. The decline in the market price of gold has significantly reduced the Company's revenue as compared to the prior year, and there remains continued uncertainty related to the gold price for 1998. These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue operations as a going concern. The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon its ability to obtain adequate financing, the continued support of its creditors and achieving profitable operations along with a recovery in the gold price. It is not possible to predict with assurance the outcome of these matters.

Completes Phase I Drilling At United Eastern High Grade Zone Confirmed
ADDWEST MINERALS INTERNATIONAL LTD ("ADU-V;ADWMF-L") - Completes Phase I Drilling At United Eastern - High Grade Zone Confirmed
Charles S. Williams, President of Addwest Minerals International Ltd., reports that the Company recently completed its first phase of exploration drilling on the United Eastern Vein system in the historic Oatman Mining District in Arizona. Nine reverse circulation holes were drilled for a total of 5,265 feet. The drill program was designed to confirm and expand upon a wide vein zone initially discovered in 1979. The target represents previously unexploited mineralized shoot(s) on the northwest extension of the United Eastern vein. Historically, the United Eastern was one of the largest mines in the Oatman District, with production of 600,000 tons of ore at an average grade of 1.05 oz/ton gold. The current drilling was successful in proving the existence of a wide vein structure containing gold grades up to 1.3 oz/ton.
Assays have been received for the first five holes. Intertek Testing Services (Bondar Clegg) of Vancouver, B.C. has performed all assaying. The following table summarizes mineralized intercepts in these holes:
Hole No. Interval Depth Intercept Length True Width Gold Grade (oz/ton)98-1 562.5-570 7.5 feet 4.7 ft 0.160 627.5-632.5 5.0 3.1 0.20798.2 550-557.5 7.5 6.4 0.13498-3 650-665 15.0 11.0 0.116 (including) 650-652.5 2.5 1.8 0.33498-4 412.5-417.5 5.0 3.2 0.123 462.5-467.5 5.0 3.2 0.1998-5 665-707.5 42.5 18.6 0.233 (including) 690-700 10 4.4 0.768 (including) 697.5-700 2.5 1.1 1.32998-6 ASSAYS PENDING98-6a ASSAYS PENDING98-6 ASSAYS PENDING98-7 ASSAYS PENDING
Mineralization occurs within a steeply dipping fault-hosted quartz/calcite vein and vein breccia. Country rock is Tertiary latite and andesite flows and flow breccia.
Addwest management is encouraged by these results. Future drilling will be directed at fully defining the lateral and vertical extent of the mineralization. Historic production from the United Eastern ore shoot was as deep as 1200 ft. below surface (1700' elev.). The current drilling tested only as deep as the 2100' elevation, or 600 - 700 feet below the surface.
This mineralized body may be accessed by rehabilitating an existing 850 ft. deep shaft and driving a 150 ft. crosscut to the vein. Ore would be processed at Addwest's Gold Road processing facility, located two miles away via paved highway. The Gold Road Mine and mill was closed in June 1998 due to low gold prices, but is fully functional and permitted, and capable of processing 500 tons per day of ore. TEL: (303) 424-5134
