Mr John Anderson reports
The company has discovered a new gold zone and further diamond drill
results from other gold zones at its Lo Increible gold property in
Venezuela where it has a right to earn a 70% interest.
The new discovery known as the Extranjero zone is nine kilometres northeast
of Sophia at the west end of a seven kilometre long gold soil geochemical
anomaly originally outlined in 1994-95.

Nine of the holes (220, 224, 253 to 259) drilled along a 250m strike length
have defined at least two en-echelon zones of gold mineralization. The
tenth hole (222) intersected mineralization 400m to the east.
The mineralized zones are between four and 15m thick and have been drilled
to between 100 and 150m down dip. This first phase of drilling in the
Extranjero zone indicates there is good potential to find additional
mineralization along this seven kilometre long trend. The Extranjero zone
remains open down dip.
Additional drill results have also been received from the Sophia zone and
the La Loca zone, which are also in the La Experencia area of the property.

These holes were drilled approximately 50m east of the holes released on
August 21 1997. The Sophia zone is an extension of the original Sophia
showings and is an oval shaped body 60m wide and averaging 25 to 30m thick
in the centre. Sophia has been intersected down dip for approximately 200m,
and remains open down dip.
Three diamond drill holes were drilled to further test the La Loca zone,
previously drilled with RC drilling in 1994. La Loca is three kilometres
northeast of Sophia.

Mineralization at the La Loca zone consists of quartz sulphide veining and
sulphide breccias with strongly sericitized and sheared pillow basalt and
felsic tuffs. Mineralization has been intersected over 100m of strike
length (north trending) and down dip for 100m. The mineralization dips 45
degrees east and has a true thickness of six to 15m. The La Loca zone is
open along strike and down dip.
Based on the Extranjero discovery and new extensions to the Sophia and La
Loca zones the company is currently recalculating the previously reported
resource estimate of 2.0 million ounces of gold on Lo Increible. This new
resource calculation will be used to develop a pre-feasibility study that
will update the positive independent scoping study released in July 1997.
The results of the pre-feasibility study will be released during the second
half of 1998.
