addition the assay results suggest that we have zones of
significantly higher-grade mineralization in the Quartz Breccia zone,
and that in places mineralization extends into the footwall and
hanging wall.

These favorable trench results have lead the company to expand
the trenching program within the Northwest Zone and across the
