Hi Bev I am going to try to repost the release the figures on the
one posted where to jumbled for me. POG has slipped back some
lately, however two gold analysts prediction in the G & M are

1. POG 350 by end of year and

2. POG 500 in 98 ????

and now my attempt

MONETA CONFIRMS NIGHTHAWK LAKE
GOLD DISCOVERY

Moneta Porcupine Mines Inc. ("Moneta") reports completion of Phase II
stratigraphic drilling and confirms the discovery of a significant gold mineralized
alteration zone on Moneta's 100% owned Nighthawk Lake property near Timmins,
Ontario. The discovery is on the Collins patented mining claims, a 15 claim block
(188 ha) located 3km north of Royal Oak's high grade Hopson Zone and 4km west
of Echo Bay's Aquarius Project which has a reported 1.3 million ounce resource.

All 12 holes currently completed have intersected gold mineralization, generally in
quartz veins within variably altered ultramafic volcanics. Drilling has tested 300m
east-west, and depths from 30m to 300m. The zone is open both along strike and
down dip/plunge. Highlights* of Phase II drilling are:

The Nighthawk Lake exploration program has been funded from the $510,000 flow
through finance arranged by First Delta Securities in November, 1996.

Initial drill targets were identified by 'Realsection IP' in a favourable geologic
setting. Currently an orientation 'Mobile Metal Ion' survey is being evaluated in
order to refine Moneta's ongoing exploration programs. Moneta plans a Phase III
drill program in late fall to improve confidence in the postulated geologic model and
to establish continuity of mineralization.

Notes: All intersections are drilled widths. All assays are fire assays with
higher grades re-assayed and verified by reputable Canadian assay laboratories.
Assay results may be weighted averages of re-assays and checks. Intersections are
listed from west to east on a metric N-S grid commencing at Line 0E. DDHs 10 and
11 were not drilled on the Collins property.

all the best
