The J&L property is one of the largest undeveloped polymetallic deposits in British Columbia. The 2,325 hectare property hosts the significant precious metal and polymetallic Main Zone deposit. The Main Zone is a stratiform, structurally deformed massive sulphide deposit. Surface exploration has traced the Main Zone for 3 kilometres and historic drilling has identified the Main Zone for 1.4 kilometres in strike length and a down dip extent of 800 metres. The Main Zone averages 2.5 metres thick. A high density drill pattern (approx. 30 m drill centers) defines the Main Zone on longitudinal section over an area of 800 metres long by 200 metres down dip. The deposit is open along strike and both up dip and down dip.

For the holes reported in this release, holes MM10-20, 22, 23 and 26 extend the Main Zone down dip over a longitudinal surface area of 140 metres by 50 metres. Holes MM10-19, 21, 25 and 25 were drilled approximately 320 metres to the southeast and over a longitudinal surface area of 120 metres by 140 metres. 

The Phase 1 drill program was under the supervision of Paul Cowley, P.Geo., the Company�s Qualified Person and VP Exploration. BQTW-sized core samples have been cut in half and sent to Eco Tech Laboratory Ltd. (Stewart Group) in Kamloops, BC. Samples are assayed for gold by fire assay (50 gram charge) as well as assayed for silver, lead and zinc. The Company inserted standards, blanks and duplicate samples throughout the sample sequence as quality control checks.

Assays on the remaining drill holes are pending.
