Posted this on SH... I think NR must be coming.

Anyone think Eastford Lake results are what's causing recent strength? They were supposed to have started drilling "newly defined geophysical signature" early December. May have results coming in now?

Thoughts?

From Dec. 2, 2008 NR: "The Mise a la masse down hole IP survey has produced ageophysical signature that indicated the mineralized zone is strikingin a north-northwesterly direction and dipping to thesouth-southwesterly direction. The combination of widespread ankeritealteration and gold mineralization hosted by many different rock types,including quartz-feldspar porphyry, altered ultramafics, tholeiiticbasalt and metasediments are reminiscent of the diverse types of goldmineralization found in major gold camps (such as Hollinger-McIntyresystem and Dome mine in the Porcupine gold camp). Explor will startdrilling the newly defined geophysical signature within the week."

Explor continues to outline Lynx gold zone

2008-12-02 16:31 ET - News Release

Mr. Christian Dupont reports

EXPLOR-PROGRESS REPORT EASTFORT LAKE LYNX GOLD ZONE

Explor Resources Inc.'s Lynx gold zone (see news in Stockwatch on June10, 2008) has been traced using down hole geophysics. Explor hascompleted eight holes after the discovery of the Lynx gold zone onEastford Lake. Hole No. 9 was drilled 25 metres to the east while holesNo. 10 and 11 were drilled to the west along the structure. Hole No. 12was drilled to the north of hole No. 7 and hole No. 13 was drilled tothe south. The gold-bearing structure was intersected but the gold wasfound to be of much smaller intervals in the adjacent holes whichprompted the down hole Mise a la masse survey. Hole No. 14 did notreturn any significant results. The property is situated in the Kerrs,Warden, Milligan townships and the Rayner Lake area southwest of LakeAbitibi, Ont., 90 kilometres east of the Timmins-Porcupine gold miningcamp. The Eastford Lake property consists of 170 contiguous unpatentedmining units for a total of 3,100 hectares.

The results for hole No. 8 which has been drilled 800 mto the north of hole No. 7 reported low-grade gold values. Hole No. 14had only anomalous values less than 500 parts per billion.

The Mise a la masse down hole IP survey has produced ageophysical signature that indicated the mineralized zone is strikingin a north-northwesterly direction and dipping to thesouth-southwesterly direction. The combination of widespread ankeritealteration and gold mineralization hosted by many different rock types,including quartz-feldspar porphyry, altered ultramafics, tholeiiticbasalt and metasediments are reminiscent of the diverse types of goldmineralization found in major gold camps (such as Hollinger-McIntyresystem and Dome mine in the Porcupine gold camp). Explor will startdrilling the newly defined geophysical signature within the week.
