!!!!NEWS RELEASE!!!! Subject: Stockwatch: Donner Minerals Ltd - News Release Date: Thu, 13 Nov 1997 08:42:24 -0800 From: newsout@canada-stockwatch.com To: edpak@georgian.net South Voisey's Bay work program planned; two drill holes completed on JV with Cypress Donner Minerals Ltd DML Shares issued Nov 12 close $2.23 Thu 13 Nov 97 News Release Mr Andrew Cooke of Mandorin Goldfields reports Mandorin Goldfields has received commitments from Donner to carry out a work program on its property in 1998. Mandorin has a joint venture with Donner over the 200 mineral claims comprising mineral licence number 3104M at South Voisey Bay, east of Notakwanon River. The property is in excess of 48 sq km immediately on the western border of Donner's Northern Abitibi joint venture property where Donner has reported results from holes 67 and 75 which intersected intervals of massive sulphide mineralization. The Mandorin property begins approximately 6km from holes 67 and 75. Donner is the operator of the exploration program on Mandorin's property and is currently preparing detailed programs and budgets for their 1998 campaign in South Voisey Bay. It is contemplated that initially this will include a gravity survey over the southeastern portion of Mandorin's property as gravity surveys have been most effective in delineating the gabbroic intrusions identified to date. Donner has advised Mandorin that gravity data which outlined a strong anomaly in the Northern Gabbro area is open to the west and northwest and the 1998 program will in part be designed to test for extensions in those directions. It is envisaged that the 1998 work program will also include detailed mapping over the southeastern portion of Mandorin's property. Results of the Donner/Teck 1997 work program to date have been considered encouraging and identified intrusive rocks which are similar in character to those hosting the world class Voisey Bay nickel deposits found in a similar geological environment approximately 90km to the north. <P> Mr Donald Huston of Cypress Minerals reports Two diamond drill holes (97-79 and 97-86) have been completed by Teck on Cypress Minerals' South Voisey's Bay joint venture with Donner in Labrador, Newfoundland. Both holes were drilled into a strong curvilinear gravity anomaly that is interpreted as the possible feeder or throat of a funnel-shaped, layered intrusion. Each of the holes reached a depth of 701m. The first hole was stopped due to drill capacity below the basal contact and will be deepened with a higher capacity drill rig. After a short interval of hanging wall gneiss at the top of hole No. 1 (97-79), a thick sequence of layered olivine gabbro was encountered to the base of the hole. The last 18m contained 1% to 5% disseminated sulphides, possibly indicating proximity to the basal contact with gneiss. This stratigraphic horizon is considered to be the most favourable for the occurrence of a Voisey's Bay style nickel-copper-cobalt deposit. Hole No. 2 (97-86) also encountered a thickened sequence of layered olivine gabbro. Assay results for both these holes are pending and will be reported when available. A third hole has been collared in medium-grained gabbro on the shoulder of a large gravity anomaly on the west side of the Cypress Minerals/Donner property. A second drill rig has been mobilized to the South Gabbro zone and is currently drilling. Of the three diamond drills in operation by Teck in the South Voisey's Bay project, two are now exploring the South Gabbro zone. Results of the Donner/Teck 1997 work program to date have been considered encouraging and have identified intrusive rocks which are very similar in character to those hosting the world class Voisey's Bay nickel deposits found in a similar geological environment approximately 90km to the north.

I don't see any nickel assays. Still haven't seen a drill plan that is legible.
