Julius- It was..psst..water as I remember: KEY word Tonnage and if they have this much we have 35 % more, ha- because we are drilling 35 % more feet - a THOUSAND vs their 650 feet!

Assay results have been received for the first four holes. Two of these holes intersected high grade gold mineralization. A 'bonanza' grade intercept in hole A98-3 assayed 4.90 oz/ton (168 g/t) over 13.3 ft and hole A98-2 intersected 0.45 oz/ton (15.5 g/t) over 20.2 ft. All four holes intersected the mineralized zone. Holes A98-3 and A98-2 establish the continuity of high grade gold mineralization in the core of the Northwest High Grade Zone. This zone currently contains 474,000 oz. of gold in an estimated resource of 890,000 tons at a cut grade of 0.53 oz/ton. The zone remains open on strike and down dip. Further drill results will be reported when assay data is available. A pre-feasibility study of an underground mine to develop the Northwest High Grade Zone is being conducted by MRDI Canada. A copy of the Company's latest News Release is attached. A visit to our website at asia-minerals.com ( It require a registration..honest so I deadened it) will provide detailed information on the Copperstone project and the Company. COPPERSTONE DRILLING PROGRAM NEW RESULTS EXTEND HIGH GRADE GOLD DEPOSIT Asia Minerals Corp. (ASE: AMP) is pleased to report the results of the first four holes drilled to test the Northwest High Grade Zone on the Copperstone gold property located in La Paz County, Arizona. The four holes are part of a 14 hole surface drilling program to confirm and extend the Northwest High Grade Zone that contains 474,000 oz. of gold within an estimated resource of 890,000 tons at a cut grade of 0.53 oz/ton. Gold mineralization in the Northwest High Grade Zone is associated with the Copperstone detachment fault and occurs within a sequence of brecciated and silicified limestones and siltstones. This sequence typically includes massive specularite, chlorite, manganese oxide, gold and copper oxide mineralization. Drill holes A98-1, A98-2, A98-3 and A98-11 all intersected the mineralized sequence. Hole A98-3 intersected 'bonanza' grade mineralization grading 4.90 oz/ton gold over 13.3 ft. An intercept in A98-2 grades 0.45 oz/t gold over 20.2 ft.

The high grade intersection in hole A98-3 (4.90 oz/t over 13.3 ft.) is 100 ft. on strike to the northwest of C97-24 and the intersection in A98-2 (0.45 oz/t over 20.2 ft.) is 70 ft. on strike to the southeast of C97-24. The gold mineralization in this zone is open to depth and on strike. The initial drilling results confirm that the Northwest High Grade Zone has the geological potential to host a 1 million ounce gold deposit. Holes A98-1, A98-2, A98-3 and A98-11 establish the strong continuity of the mineralized zone and the host stratigraphy. The intersections in holes A98-2 and A98-3 illustrate the frequent occurrence of 'bonanza' grade gold within the zone of mineralization. The Copperstone drilling program has been conducted according to a rigorous Quality Assurance /Quality Control (QA/QC) program established jointly by Asia Minerals and MRDI Canada - a division of H.A. Simons Ltd. The QA/QC program includes best practice procedures for geological and geotechnical logging, sample collection, chain of custody control for drill core and samples, sample preparation and analytical protocols. MRDI Canada staff have made two visits to the Copperstone property during the drilling program. Boart Longyear is the contractor for the drilling program. All holes are HQ diameter core drilled through the mineralized zone. Down hole lengths are approximately equal to true thickness. The primary assay laboratory is Intertek Testing Services (Bondar Clegg). Samples are prepared in Sparks, Nevada and assayed in Vancouver using a 2 assay ton pulp sample. A fire assay protocol with an AA finish is used on all samples. Coarse blanks, reject duplicates, core shed reference samples and Standard Reference Material (SRM) have been inserted 'blind' into the sample stream to demonstrate and quantify the reliability of the assay data. The 14 hole drilling program in the Northwest High Grade Zone was completed on 5 November. Further results will be announced as soon as the assay data is available. An independent pre-feasibility study of an underground mine to develop the Northwest High Grade Zone is being conducted by MRDI Canada. Asia Minerals owns a 25% interest in the Copperstone property and has an option to earn up to an 80% interest by spending US$3 million on the property and making a further US$1 million option payment to Arctic Precious Metals Inc., a subsidiary of Royal Oak Mines Inc.
