Mr. Kevin Flaherty reports
Celtic Minerals Ltd. and Jilbey Enterprises Ltd. have disclosed that the Hungry
Hill option agreement with Rio Algom Exploration Inc. has been terminated. The
Hungry Hill base metal property comprises 292 claims (7,300 hectares),
contiguous to land held by or under option to the following major mining
companies: Billiton Exploration Canada Ltd., Noranda, and Phelps Dodge.
Celtic also wishes to announce that an 800-metre drill program has commenced
on its Skull Hill joint venture, which is held 51 per cent by Billiton and 49 per cent
by Celtic. The area being targeted is immediately south of the Lake Bond deposit,
which has a defined geological resource of 1.1 million tons grading 2.12 per cent
Zn and 0.3 per cent Cu.
On the Buchans Junction joint venture with Billiton, a drill program has been
completed on the northern portion of the property and assays are pending. A
detailed ground geophysical program has been conducted on the southern portion
of the Buchans Junction property in an area contiguous to land held by Phelps
Dodge. Followup drilling is planned, contingent upon the geophysical survey
results.
