Very impresses drill results for MSR: rilling results from Cerro Blanco, Guatemala Mar-West Resources Ltd MSR Shares issued 16,600,000 May 15 close $1.20 Tue 19 May 98 News Release Mr. Simon Ridgway reports Mar-West Resources has released the initial drill results from the 100 per cent owned Cerro Blanco project in Southeast Guatemala. Drilling commenced on April 17, and to date, five holes have been completed. Results have been received for drill holes CB-1 and CB-2 and are tabled below. Both holes cut a wide interval of gold mineralization associated with a large breccia diatreme system. The mineralization has been traced on surface for a distance of three kilometres and is associated with a thick sequence of hot spring sinter and breccia bodies. Holes 1 and 2 were collared on section line 7100N and both terminated in strong gold mineralization. The width of the zone is unknown but is a minimum of 100 metres wide. A thin veneer of younger rock masks the mineralization and makes the size of the zone difficult to determine. The IP geophysics indicate the main target could be up to 300 metres wide. Gold Hole From To Length grade No. (m) (m) (m) (g/t) CB-1 25.9 99.1 73.2 0.75 CB-2 21.3 132.6 111.3 1.48 Including 82.3 132.6 50.3 2.57 The distribution of the gold is uniform within the mineralized zones and the average grades reported are not related to narrow zones of high grade. As noted above, the gold grades in CB-2 increase with depth indicating the zone is open in all directions. Drilling is being conducted with a reverse circulation drill. All holes to date have been drilled without encountering water and thus have a negligible chance of down hole contamination. Samples are collected every five feet down the hole and are shipped from the project to a sample preparation laboratory operated by TSL Laboratories in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. After preparation, the samples are split and shipped to a TSL facility in Saskatoon, Canada for standard fire assay with a gravimetric finish. All of CB-2 has been shipped to a second lab in Canada for confirmation assay and those results will be available shortly. Management at Mar-West feels the Cerro Blanco is a significant discovery and clearly demonstrates the gold potential of the volcanic belt of Southern Guatemala.
