The company announced a diamond drill program of up to 28,000 metres has commenced at its Nixon Fork Gold Mine. Drilling is commencing on surface targets, particularly lateral or down plunge extensions of known mineralized zones which have the potential to provide additional resources to the mill. These types of targets include the Whalen, North Star, Mystery, Southern Cross, and J5A.

Following the Company's surface program, underground drilling will begin within the Crystal decline. The drill program is designed to expand resources, particularly in the area of the 3300 zone, as well as test three to four prospective zones. Mr. Will Beach, our newly hired underground supervisor, has examined the workings of the Crystal decline and found them to be in excellent condition, with only minor cleanup needed. Mr. Beach states, "The Crystal decline and associated levels can be ready for drilling immediately."

"This is an exciting time for the project. We have been very encouraged by the impressive grades in our re-evaluation work and this drill program will allow us to test and demonstrate our understanding of the ore body." Richard Goodwin, VP Mining.
