MDIN posted a different news release today..... Hope it helps NPEC LAKE ELSINORE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 24, 1999--The first diamond drill hole on Medinah's (OTC BB:MDIN) Alto de Lipangue project was completed at a depth of 70 metres (270 sq.ft.). The target was intersected at 27 metres and consisted of a sulphide zone of mainly pyrite contained in andesite rock. This is a halo zone of sulphides near the contact between the andesite and the granodiorite intrusive. Drilling continued past the target in order to test for a change of rock type. This hole established an eastern boundary for the next sequence of targets. Hole No. 2, at the edge of a large anomaly, aimed to intersect a target at a depth of 150 metres. Mineralization was visible in the core from a depth of 130 metres to 200 metres, inclusive and concluded at 250 metres (825 ft). Copper and molybdenum are visibly present along with several other sulphides. The drills have intersected the eastern flank of a mineralized porphyry system. The core will be assayed for gold, silver, copper and molybdenum. The next hole will be drilled in the centre of the large anomaly as shown by the IP survey. A geophysicist from Howe Chile Ltda. has been on site since February 19 correlating the physical data from the drilling. Mr. William Gilmour, P.Geo., a porphyry expert of Discovery Consultants Inc., will be on site in Chile March 1 to further assist in drilling out the targets.
