Freewest and Detector Gold Assay Results at Matachewan

MONTREAL, QUEBEC--Freewest Resources Canada Inc. and Detector
Resources Ltd. are pleased to announce the results of a 10-hole
diamond drill program recently completed on the Camking Joint
Venture Project near Matachewan, Ontario. The properties are
adjoined to the south by Royal Oak Mines Inc.'s Matachewan project
which, at 15.2 million tons grading 0.076 oz/t Au, is calculated
to contain 1.16 million ounces of gold. Royal Oak expects to
bring this into production in 1998 as a low-grade underground
operation.

To date the Camking Zone has been intersected over a strike length
of 200 m (660 ft) and to a vertical depth of 160 m (525 ft) in 9
of the 10 holes drilled along its length. The zone averages 12.2
m (40 ft) in width with an average grade of 1.5 g/t Au (0.044 0z/t
Au). Significant results are summarized as follows:

A new zone, the "South Zone", was discovered 200 m to the south
and shows alteration and mineralization similar to the Camking
zone. Hole nb. 5496-11 in this zone cut 0.4 g/t Au (0.012 oz/t
Au) over 15 m (49 ft).

The limited, shallow drilling completed to date on the Camking
Zone demonstrates good continuity and grade over significant
widths and implies excellent gold potential. Testing at depth
with deeper diamond-drill holes is programmed for the winter
months.
