Sidney Resources Corporation announced the expansion of exploration operations beyond the Lucky Ben Mine. Exploration and development work has been expanded to 20 acres of private property and to an unpatented claim where the Arlise Mine is located. Initial sampling of the exposed face of the Arlise vein produced assay results averaging 18.66 g/t gold and 179.2 g/t silver.

Plans to prove the downward dip of the Arlise vein are part of a diamond drill program scheduled for this year as long as weather permits. The Arlise vein runs parallel to the Lucky Ben vein and underground drill platforms in the Lucky Ben tunnel will be used in the drilling program to reduce soil disturbances and the environmental impact. Initial work on the Hornet Claim includes locating the Adits and raises described in the patent survey.

The Hornet Claim was patented by J.A. Czizek who was the Inspector of Mines for Idaho in the early 1900's and was known as the most scientific miner of his era. He was associated with many of the most successful mines in the Warren District. The Company is currently reviewing over 1,718 acres as possible acquisition targets in the Warren area, one of the largest gold producing districts in Idaho.

The Warren mining district lies in the Salmon River Mountains of north-central Idaho, in southern Idaho and northern Valley counties. Gold, galena, sphalerite, tetrahedrite, stibnite, and pyrite are the primary metallic minerals that were recognized in the Warren veins. The mines of the Warren district are reported by the USGS to rank among the richest mines in Idaho.

The mines have excellent assays and previous production records. One assay shows a whopping 20,776 grams of silver per ton plus gold. Historically this mining District has produced silver up to 2,660 grams per ton.

The Little Giant Vein gold ore was displayed at international exhibitions and won premium awards. An ore specimen as large as a man's body was sent to the Boise Stock Exchange in 1896 which assayed $11,155/ton (24,976 grams/gold per ton @$0.44 per gram). According to published USGS reports this vein averaged 156.8 g/t gold and 840 g/t silver.
