Look at Stratagold. Kind of a sleeper. Birim river formations in South America. Not bad gold. Birim River is the name of the river that runs thru the gold formations that contain the Ashanti Mine in Ghana. I think the Ashanti produces about 1 million ounces a year. en.wikipedia.org Stratagold has the Tassawini project in an identical formation a mere 4200 miles away. At one time the formations were continuous again a mere 225 million years ago. (3 cm a year drift)` I have been pounding the table on these guys for about 18 months now, but everybody yawns. When they find 3 million ounces in an open pit, people won't be yawning anymore I warrant.

StrataGold drilled 26,283 m of diamond core in 187 DDH's in 2006, in addition to the 11,755 m in 73 DDH's drilled in 2005, at Tassawini. Individual zones range in true width from 10 m to more than 50 m and dip between 75 and 45 degrees to the northwest. Tassawini West and Mine Creek Highlights from seventeen additional holes at the Tassawini West and Mine Creek include SD248 which intersected 3.93 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 26.4 m including 14.04 g/t gold over 5.85 m. This hole confirmed the presence and grade continuity of high grade shoots of mineralization in saprolite. In addition, SD246 (1.54 g/t gold over 19.55 m) intersected a previously unknown down-plunge extension of Tassawini West mineralization and SD242 and 244 intersected near-surface extensions towards the northeast. Tassawini West mineralization remains open down-plunge to the southwest and along strike to the northeast.

This hole confirms high grade mineralization at moderate depths within fresh rock down-plunge from surface mineralization. SD223, 229, 236 and 238 in particular confirmed the multiple stacked nature of mineralized horizons at Black Ridge. The mineralization at Black Ridge remains open down-plunge to the southwest and along strike to the southwest at this time. The true width of Black Ridge mineralization averages 25 m** and the saprolite-bedrock interface occurs at a vertical depth of 80 m. Free gold occurs in carbonate-altered bedrock in quartz veinlets and sulphides related to fold hinges and intrusive contacts.

Drilling has recommenced at Tassawini and details of this and other work ongoing will be provided in a future press release. Quality Control and Assurance A rigorous Quality Control and Assurance program (QC/QA) is in place, using control samples and duplicates, as well as Chain of Custody (COC) protocols, under the supervision ofBill Yeomans, P.Geo., StrataGold's General Manager Exploration, South America . Tamperproof sample bags with zip lock tags are being utilized for all of the drill samples. The Tassawini samples were freighted by air in sealed containers to a new ACME sample prep facility located inGeorgetown, Guyana. The samples are prepped in the ACME's Georgtown facility and then air freighted to the ACME analytical laboratory in Santiago Chile . ACME is a recognized as an ISO 9000 registered laboratory. The control samples, blank and duplicate assay results received for the drilling program demonstrated to StrataGold that the results are considered reliable. However, due to the rigorous nature of StrataGold's QC/QA program, additional check assays will be conducted and these results pending.
