Cross Lake to commence drilling B.C. ground Cross Lake Minerals Ltd CRN Shares issued 35,182,665 Aug 10 close $0.07 Tue 14 Aug 2001 News Release Mr. Kristina Jackson reports Cross Lake Minerals is mobilizing drill equipment to the Swannell zinc-lead-silver property located 103 kilometres north-northwest of Germansen Landing, B.C. The company may earn a 100-per-cent interest in the Swannell property from Cominco Ltd. The company intends to drill high-priority targets identified by MMI soil sampling and geological mapping programs carried out in May and June of this year. These targets are coincident with the down plunge extension of the Swannell showing exposed by the Swannell River and the area of two successful drill intersections completed in 1957 and 1985. (Stockwatch, April 30, 2001.) Once drilling is completed on the Swannell property, the equipment will be moved to the 100-per-cent-owned End Lake zinc-lead-silver property located about 55 kilometres to the south. The drilling will target the base metal mineralization exposed in a creek bottom of a tributary of the Osilinka River. (Refer to news in Stockwatch of Oct. 12, 2000, for channel sampling results of the base metal mineralization.) Work is also being conducted in the Revelstoke, B.C., area. On the LJ base metal property located 35 kilometres north-northeast of Revelstoke, B.C., a program of geological mapping and soil and rock sampling has just been completed. The crew has moved to the Myoff Creek tantalum-niobium-rare earth property, located 52 kilometres northwest of Revelstoke. A field program will be conducted in order to map and sample the entire 12-kilometre length of the carbonatite horizon covered by the company's Myoff Creek claims. To date, only 410 metres of the 12 kilometres have been examined by Cross Lake. Results from the above programs will be released in due course. All work is being conducted under the supervision of the company's vice-president, exploration, Jim Miller-Tait, professional geologist. (c) Copyright 2001 Canjex Publishing Ltd. stockwatch.com
