Mr Dale Corman of Teck reports
Teck Corp and Western Copper Holdings have received results on diamond drill hole SAL-25 which
recently intersected 161.2m of massive sulphides (see news in Stockwatch November 10 1997). Drill
hole SAL-25 is within the El Salvador/Tamara project, a joint venture between Teck/Western with Teck
being the operator.
The mineralization encountered in drill hole SAL-25 included a 28.4m section that graded as follows:

Drill From-To m Au Ag Cu Zn
(m) g/t g/t % %

Inc 207.1-235.5 28.4 1.20 47.6 0.64 5.53

This interval was followed by mineralization of lower grade as follows:

Drill From-To m Au Ag Cu Zn
(m) g/t g/t % %

Inc 235.5-313.5 78.0 0.73 18.2 0.34 0.93
Inc 313.5-368.3 54.8 0.22 9.2 0.76 0.38

Insignificant lead values were encountered

The assays were determined in the laboratories of Chemex Labs in North Vancouver, Canada following
the preparation of samples in its laboratories in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Drill hole SAL-25 stopped in sulphides at 368m. Current plans are to complete this drilling through to
the footwall. Drill hole SAL-24, 200m south of SAL-25, will also be completed. SAL-25 and SAL-24
are both within an induced polarization anomaly measuring 500m in plan.
An extensive drilling program to test the anomaly is planned. The program will provide information as to
the geometry and grade of the mineralized zone. The area encompassed by drilling to date, including
SAL-25, represents less than 5% of the 225 sq km area covered by the Teck/Western joint venture.
The Teck/Western El Salvador project is southeast of the city of Zacatecas, in the state of Zacatecas,
Mexico. Each party is responsible for its own financing of the El Salvador project based on the initial
interest 55% Teck and 45% Western. Teck has the option to earn an additional 10% interest by arranging
100% of production financing. Teck may also purchase from Western, upon completion of feasibility,
an additional 5% based on the net present value of the project.
Drill holes SAL-25 and SAL-24 are on claims optioned from Luismin SA de CV which has the right to
participate with the Teck/Western joint venture, as to 25%, if the property is taken to commercial
production. The Luismin participation falls to 15% if it does not contribute its share of production
financing.
