Intergold Corporation Announces
Chain of Custody Surface Sampling Report Results by
Dames and Moore
NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Feb. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Intergold Corporation (the ''Company'')
(OTC Bulletin Board: IGCO - news) announces that Dames and Moore was retained by Intergold's
subsidiary, International Gold Corporation (IGC) to perform a reconnaissance site visit to the
Blackhawk Project Site to provide professional guidance and support on surface mapping and
permitting, and to obtain independently selected surface samples for precious metals analyses. The
surface samples were treated in a ''Chain of Custody'' mode by Dames & Moore from the time of
sample collection through the fire assay/graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometer
(FA/GFAA) analytical procedure. Based on this work Dames & Moore has drawn the following
conclusions:
-- IGC has followed and continues to follow a careful third party
independent evaluation of its Blackhawk gold prospect in
Lincoln County, ID.
-- IGC has been effective in dealing with the Bureau of Land Management
(BLM) in bringing the project to its current status.
-- Dames & Moore is confident that, based on its random selection of the
four surface rock sample locations, the outcrops sampled were not
salted or artificially impregnated with precious metals.
-- The four Dames & Moore independently selected and analyzed surface rock
samples show the presence of gold and silver.
-- The surface gold concentrations (0.003 to 0.009 troy ounces per short
ton, opt) are highly anomalous. It is highly unusual to have gold and
silver (0.282 to 0.351 opt) values of this concentration in unaltered
flow rocks.
-- The four Dames & Moore surface rock samples were more than an order of
magnitude higher in gold than the surface samples(s) obtained by an
Idaho state Geologist.
-- Dames & Moore confirmed, in another independent laboratory, that the
flux used in the fire assay procedure did not contain any gold
(<0.02 parts per million Au).
-- The use of a graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometer with
automatic dilution, duplicate sample averaging, values measured in the
parts per billion range, and rechecking with duplicate solution samples
gave Dames & Moore high confidence in the results.
-- The anomalous gold and silver values in the surface rock samples
provide further confirmation of Dames & Moore's previous independent
third party work on core samples that showed levels of gold ranging
from 0.003 to 0.099 opt, 98C-9 and 98C-22, respectively.
Through the Company's subsidiary, ''International Gold Corporation'' the Intergold Corporation is
exploring a large mineralized prospect in the State of Idaho - the Blackhawk I Gold Project, which
is comprised of 321 contiguous unpatented lode mining claims in Lincoln County, Idaho.
