'Higher-grade copper mineralization continues to be delineated at the Canada Honda target. Hole CHD05 reported today was a large step-out along a two-kilometer-long gravity anomaly and intercepted a wide zone of copper-gold mineralization 150m down-dip. It is particularly encouraging to see an increase in thickness of the copper-gold mineralization down-dip coincident with a gravity target. This indicates good potential for additional mineralization associated with the gravity anomaly,' said
'Follow-up drill hole CHD06, more than 100m to the east of hole CHD05, has intersected visible copper mineralization coincident with a downhole EM (DHEM) conductor anomaly, confirming that mineralization at Canada Honda is open in all directions.'

Highlights
Hole CHD05 confirms that copper-gold mineralization continues with increasing thickness 150m down-dip from hole CHD04, and remains wide open.
Results for CHD05 include: 20m at 0.5% Cu, 0.3g/t Au, and 1.9g/t Ag from 287m down-hole, including 5.1m at 1.3% Cu, 0.5g/t Au, and 3.9g/t Ag 0.5m at 10.3% Cu, 1.4g/t Au and 29g/t Ag
Assays are pending for the upper part of the drill hole
Hole CHD06 shows visible copper mineralization coincident with the DHEM target approximately 100m east of hole CHD05.
QA/QC Procedures
Core size was HQ (63mm) and all samples were 1/2 core. Nominal sample size was 1m core length and ranged from 0.4m to 2m. Sample intervals were defined using geological contacts with the start and end of each sample physically marked on the core. Diamond blade core cutting and sampling was supervised at all times by Company staff. Duplicate samples of 1/4 core were taken approximately every 30 samples and Certified Reference materials inserted every 25 samples in each batch.
Samples were delivered to ALS laboratory in
