ASTRAL COMMENCES PHASE II DRILLING AND ANNOUNCES REMAINDER OF PHASE I DRILL RESULTS, JUMPING JOSEPHINE GOLD PROJECT, BRITISH COLUMBIA
President Manfred Kurschner stated: �We are very excited to have commenced the Phase II drill program which will be targeting what we believe to be a strong south-plunging mineralized shoot within the JJ Main Gold Zone. The shoot has been intersected to date by holes drilled on the southernmost two sections, spaced 60m apart, and so far it appears to be increasing in width to the south. The drill is currently completing a fence of holes along a section 30m further to the south. Astral has only just begun to test the potential of JJ Main structure which, based on mapping, geophysics and surface geochemistry, may extend for over three kilometres. In addition to targeting the gold-bearing stockwork system our technical team will also be drill testing for a buried porphyry target at depth�.
- Phase II Drilling Program Has Recently Commenced At The Jumping Josephine (JJ) Main Discovery Gold Zone, Located In Southeast British Columbia, Canada
- Final Results Reported From 31 Hole Phase I Diamond Drill Program At JJ Main Zone, Bonanza Pass And Albion And Dubrovnik Prospects (See Assay Charts And Site Maps In News Release For Full Details)
- JJ Main Zone, Highlights Included: 58.1 G/T Gold Over 6 Feet (Results From Re-Assay)
- Bonanza Pass Included: 4.5m Averaging 0.54 G/T Gold -- Also Of Note Was Anomalous Molybdenum
- Historical Albion Prospect And Adjacent Dubrovnik Vein � Significant Results Included: 4.5m Averaging 1.14 G/T Gold From 07JD028 ( At Dubrovnik Prospect)

Dear Friends:
Re: In Search of an Elephant
Astral continues to make significant strides over this vast property in the mineral-rich Kootenay Mining District of southern British Columbia. The results from the Phase I drill program have certainly produced a lot of enthusiasm for the project which shows enormous potential. What we now have for the property is an all-important overview of the main targets areas identified to date � vitally important for a property this large. Phase II will follow up on the most promising of those prospects.. Of particular interest to Management is the south-plunging shoot off the JJ Main Zone. Astral will also be looking for more of those high-grade shoots.
The excellent near surface results to date (strike length of 180m to a vertical depth of 100 m) and the search for the continuation of the stockwork in the Phase II drill program is already underway.
Importantly, we are looking forward to Astral�s geological team finding more of those high-grade shoots in this follow up drill program why? - - - Because there seems to be a similarity here with Kirkland Lake and Red Lake in Ontario and - - - something similar to that would be truly exciting and porphyry target at depth would just be icing on the cake!!!
Yes, in addition to high-grade veins at higher levels
Astral is in search of an Elephant.
Stay tuned my friends - - - stay tuned!!!
Regards,
Nick L. Nicolaas
