Walter drilling to begin

Mr Jeffrey Dahl reports
A drill rig has arrived at the Walter gold/polymetallic project in Bolivia
and a 2,000 metre core drilling program will begin shortly. Veins and
porphyry intrusions on the property host gold, silver, zinc, lead, copper,
arsenic, and bismuth. Veins in the Walter South zone have an average grade
of 12.3 g/t gold equivalent based on the combined metal value of the gold,
silver and base metals. The dacite porphyry intrusion averages 1.1 g/t
gold, 28 g/t silver and 5.6% zinc. Sampling at surface and underground
suggests that grades in the intrusion could increase with depth.
Eighteen Bolivian-style polymetallic veins have been discovered within the
vein swarm at the Walter South zone. Ongoing underground exploration at
Walter South is currently expanding vein reserves in drifts and crosscuts
at depths up to 100 metres below surface. The drill program is designed to
test the continuity of the veins and intrusion to 350 metres depth. If
successful, underground drifting will begin at deeper levels to further
expand reserves. Other Bolivian-style polymetallic vein systems in this
region are known for their persistent mineable mineralization to depths of
900 metres, and lateral distances of up to 2 kilometres along strike. Veins
at Walter South can be traced for 2 kilometres to the Walter Central area
where more than a dozen veins with similar metallic content and grade are
exposed along with a dacite porphyry intrusion. This extensive vein
strike-length is indicative of the significant tonnage potential of the
Walter property.
