The drill hole results for the first three holes of the current program are as follows. DRILL HOLE RESULTS FROM EL ABRA MINE HOLE NUMBER SECTION FROM TO METRES ESTIMATED GOLD SILVER (m) (m) TRUE WIDTH (g/t) (g/t) (m) CMRC-30 310W 32 52 20 18.5 3.2 845 incl. 34 40 6 5.6 9.0 2,608 CMRC-31 *310W 58 60 2 1.9 0.38 48 CMRC-32 350W 82 94 12 6.9 0.18 61 98 104 6 3.4 0.19 62 * Hole undercuts southeast extent of the historic El Abra ore shoot. Mr. Henstridge stated: "it is very exciting to intersect additional bonanza mineralization within the historic El Abra Mine area at Cinco Minas, particularly as this is the second time that drilling has intersected a rich ore shoot at El Abra. In April 2003, the Company announced that CMRC-20 averaged 4m at 7 g/t gold and 1,099 g/t silver. These bonanza zones will greatly improve profitability in any future open-pit mining operations." On the basis of the drill results from the first phase of drilling at Cinco Minas undertaken earlier this year, the Company's management believes that the historic El Abra Mine area will once again be economically mined but now as a low-cost open-pit operation. The Company has completed a further three holes and results are expected shortly. Drilling is continuing in the El Abra area to identify sufficient resources to undertake an arms-length scoping study. Road construction is underway to gain access to the top of the El Abra vein which crops out to a height of about 50m above road level. Once constructed, drilling will take place to sample this part of the vein as well as extending the known mineralization at El Abra both below and along strike to the north-west from the existing drill holes. As well, the Company is expecting its first results of metallurgical test work from two representative samples, each about 300 kilograms, taken at El Abra. The initial test work on the samples includes both bottle roll tests and column leach studies using an initial rock crush size of minus 1/2 inch. Through an agreement with Minera San Jorge S.A. de C.V., the Company is earning a 60% interest and has the right to purchase the remaining 40% in the Cinco Minas Project. The Company's consulting geologist, Mr. John Nebocat, is the Qualified Person for the Cinco Minas Project. Drill samples were prepared by GM LACME Laboratory, Guadalajara, Mexico and assayed at IPL Laboratory in Canada. Samples greater than 1 g/t gold and high silver values were check assayed, and the Company submitted a known standard (about one in every ten samples submitted) for check analysis. All bulk samples of RC chips along with all sample rejects prepared by the laboratory in Mexico are stored for verification purposes.
