* Not true thickness

The drilling programme, consisting of 21 Diamond drill holes (1,879 m) and 3 trenches was carried out to confirm the thickness and grade of the historic Soviet drilling completed between 1941 and 1984. The mineralisation is located within a series of shallow-dipping lenses of massive and disseminated sulphide bodies, primarily consisting of chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite and pyrite. The mineralisation has a strike of in excess of 1km and is intersected at depths reaching 200m down dip from surface. The majority of the high grade sulphide mineralisation is concentrated within 100 vertical meters from where it outcrops at surface.

Eight hundred and fifty eight samples of which 35 standards and 42 duplicates were analysed in Alex Stewart Laboratories in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

CEO of Lero, Dr Alexander Yakubchuk commented:
�We are pleased to receive such excellent results from our infill drilling programme. Modelling of the data received is currently underway and we expect to have a 43-101 compliant resource completed within the next two weeks. The results have confirmed the dimensions of the known mineralisation and historic Soviet assays.�
