Medinah Energy Inc. Reports Important New Discovery - Diamond Drilling Program Expanded At Alto de Lipangue Project, Chile Business Wire - March 10, 1999 12:56 CURRENT DIAMOND DRILLING REPORT DDH No. 99-01 ANOMALOUS GOLD VALUES - Drilled vertically to test a small geological IP target outside and west of a large IP anomaly. This target proved to be a pyrite halo zone in andesite rock. The hole was completed at a depth of 70 meters, returning anomalous gold values. DDH 99-02 CONFIRMED PRESENCE OF GOLD AND COPPER - Approximately 200 meters east of DDH 99-01, collared on the edge of a large IP anomaly. This vertical hole intersected the flank of a granodiorite intrusive, the target rock, and continued in granodiorite to the depth of the hole. At a depth of 100 meters, sulfide mineralization includes pyrite, molybdenite and chalcopyrite. Assays confirm the presence of copper and gold in low but significant values over a continuous thickness of approximately 140 meters. DDH 99-03 ORE GRADE GOLD/COPPER VALUES - Drilled vertically approximately 250 meters southwest of DDH 99-02, collared at the center of a large anomaly, in granodiorite to full depth. At 91 meters, the granodiorite was mineralized and highly silicified. Continuous breccia, silicification and mineralization - including massive pyrite and chalcopyrite - were observed from a depth of 91 meters to the bottom of the hole at 297.5 meters. Assays received to date returned values as follows with respect to ore grade intervals: Diamond Drill Hole 99-03 Depth From To Gold Thickness -------------------------------------------------------------------- 91 meters 176 meters 1.979 gr/ton 277 ft continuous Included within this zone: 97 meters to 108 meters 3.71 grams gold/ton over 37 feet 113 meters to 123 meters 2.88 grams gold/ton over 33 feet 155 meters to 159 meters 9.875 grams gold/ton over 13 feet 92 meters to 127 meters 0.772% copper over 114 feet The balance of copper assays from 127 meters to depth, balance of gold assays from 210 meters to depth, 297.5 meters, and all silver assays will be released when completed and verified for DDH 99-03. Due to the interesting geological and excellent assay results encountered in DDH 99-03, management has approved a recommendation from Gordon House, P.Geo., to expand the drill program. Several additional holes will be drilled in order to undertake a more complete geological study of the deposit at Alto de Lipangue. Anomalies on the neighboring property of Las Dos Marias, historically containing high grades of gold, will be drilled at some point during this current program. Since his early studies of the area in 1998, project geologist Gordon House has theorized the existence of a large mineralized hydrothermal system underlying the whole Alto de Lipangue/Las Dos Marias property. DDH 99-03 appears to have confirmed this. All assay work is contracted to a North American lab, Acme Analytical, and a second independent lab is completing verification assays. Pulps from the assays have been retained and half of the drill core is secured for analysis and inspection.
