Sur American Gold Corp - (issued after the market closed) Drilling progressing at Gavia gold project Sur American Gold Corp SUR Shares issued 17,525,483 1998-09-28 close $0.44 Monday Sep 28 1998 Mr. J. Rennie Blair reports The first hole into the Gavia epithermal gold project in Western Colombia was terminated at 227 metres. The drill hole unexpectedly encountered a large void and as a consequence, the hole had to be abandoned. From 60m until the end of the hole, a continuous sequence of highly pyritic pyroclastic rocks was intersected as expected. Drill hole Gavia No. 2 is about 800m to the west of Gavia No. 1 over a large and very strong IP anomaly overlain by a 40m thick basalt lava flow. The hole is currently at a depth of 180m, having passed through the basalt cap at 54m and into highly pyritic pyroclastic rocks, which at times exceed 20 per cent pyrite, averaging about 14 per cent pyrite. A second drilling machine has arrived on site with the objective of testing one of the potentially very large oxide zones, which is in the eastern portion of the property. Samples taken from soils and outcropping rocks over this oxide zone suggest a minimum surface extent of about 1200m x 400m with a possible thickness up to 100m. Soil gold values often exceed 1 g/t gold while rock values obtained by 30cm x 30cm test pits are as high as 32 g/t gold. Individual rock outcrops usually exceed 1 g/t thereby suggesting a potential multimillion ounce near surface oxide resource. A total of about eight holes into the oxide zone is planned. To date Gavia drill holes No. 1 and No. 2 clearly indicate the Gavia project consists of an extremely large volume of auriferous and highly pyritic pyroclastic rocks, which are variably veined and brecciated. The assay results from drill holes Gavia No. 1 and No. 2 will be released when they have been completed and received by the company. Frequent news releases detailing the progress of the program will also be released from time to time. (c) Copyright 1998 Canjex Publishing Ltd. canada-stockwatch.com old url (better for printing)

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: Andrew Hunter at 1-888-267-1400 September 30, 1998 Gold Ridge Investment Corp. Reports: Can The Legendary Gold Miner Frank Lang Do It Again? Will There Be A New Gold Rush In California? A Three Million Ounce Gold Resource Has Been Defined! Its got the characteristics of a stock purchase that everyone dreams about a fortune in the making. It's reminiscent of the penny stocks named Golden Sceptre and Goliath Gold (which later became Hemlo Gold). In 1982, these stocks, worth just pennies per share, rose later to over $90 per share following a 3 for 1 split. All because of the legendary gold miner and entrepreneur Frank Lang (who co-discovered Hemlo Gold Mines which now produces 310,000 ounces of gold annually) and his team of dedicated associates. Mr. Frank Lang has one of the most remarkable track records in discovering economic mineral deposits and developing them. He has a proven ability to raise the capital necessary to bring them to fruition In 1972, Mr. Lang founded Belmoral Mines (which later soared to $40/share) and in 1980 he initiated Aurizon Mines, which is now producing 43,000 ounces of gold annually. These and other mining companies that he has been involved with during his extensive career have generated huge returns for investors. And now he is turning his attention to the Idaho-Maryland gold mine in Grass Valley, California. EMGOLD Mining Corp. ("EMR" - VSE) has made tremendous progress in bringing the historic mine, which operated from 1862 to 1956, to a new production decision. EMGOLD has applied for and been granted environmental and exploration / development permits necessary for re-opening the underground mine and extracting over 3,000,000 ounces of gold believed to be there. Frank Lang and EMGOLD are negotiating for major financing for an underground drilling program and a mining feasibility study. Recent studies indicate that the mine could be operated profitably as soon as the price of gold goes over $300 per ounce. Right now, the market price for gold hovers around the $300 mark. The stock has a current share price of $0.28 CDN (US$0.18), which makes it tremendously undervalued in comparison to other companies with similar resources which trade at $3 to $5 CDN (US$2-US$3.50) per share. If Frank Lang can do it again, the company's stock offers potentially explosive growth potential For further information, visit EMGOLD on the Internet at: emgold.com or contact Andrew Hunter at 1-888-267-1400 - end - Disclaimer: The information contained herein has been compiled or derived from sources believed reliable and contains information and opinions which are accurate and complete.
