DDH 2K-6 to DDH 2K-8 drilled in the same vertical plane at 270 degrees indicates the mineral zone has an apparent width of up to 450 feet with higher grade sections within the zone, 2K-8, 10 feet -- 27.45 per cent Cu equivalent. These drill holes extend the mineral zone approximately 120 feet southwest along trend and down dip from DDH 2K-4. Current drill results indicate the grade of mineralization is two to three times the grade previously mined by open pit. Indications are the higher grade mineralization purported to be mined at pit bottom may be continuous with the intersections in DDH 2K-8 (shallowest hole) through to DDH 2K-6 (refer to drill section). Higher grade intersections are as follows: DDH 2K-6 at -77 degrees/272 degrees, core length 150 feet -- 4.07 per cent Cu equivalent; DDH 2K-7 at -86 degrees/270 degrees, core length 180 feet -- 3.98 per cent Cu equivalent; and DDH 2K-8 at -56 degrees/270 degrees, core length 120 feet -- 4.38 per cent Cu equivalent; (incl. 10 feet -- 27.45 per cent Cu equivalent GMV: $440 (U.S.)/T).
