EL TABACO, CHILE: HOLE 2A:COPPER OXIDE AND STOCKWORK MINERALIZATION

The company has diamond drilled hole 2A vertically and is pleased to report a section of 0.6 percent copper over 52 metres with the following breakdown:

0 - 22 m Oxide 22 m 1.09 percent copper
22 - 24 m Fault zone
24 - 34 m Stockwork, py/cpy 10 m 0.44 percent copper
34 - 38 m barren
38 - 52 m Stockwork, py/cpy 14 m 0.15 percent copper
52 - 68 m Stockwork, py 16 m anomalous copper

This hole confirms the oxide grade reported in the 1963-64 program and may indicate the presence of a porphyry stockwork mineralized with chalcopyrite and pyrite. The stockwork is characterized by one to ten millimeter quartz-sericite-chalcopyrite veinlets and stringers. This mineralization is believed to give rise to the 2.4 km by 300-500 induced polarization anomaly that can now be considered extremely prospective.
