Wed 11 Mar 98 News Release
Mr Raymond Mongeau reports
The company has received positive results of an evaluation study completed
on the exploration and drilling programs completed on the Argentina
property to date. A total of 29 RC drill holes tested a number of exposed
gold-bearing areas as well as geochemical and geophysical anomalies on the
property. Less than 20% of the favourable horizons have been tested by
drilling. Of the area tested to date, four significant north trending,
steeply dipping gold-bearing zones were delineated by widespread RC
drilling down to a vertical depth of about 75m. The average lengths, gold
values and thickness of these four gold-bearing zones are tabulated below:
