Intertech Solutions, Inc. reported that the Company has completed its first bulk sample as part of the development program previously announced on August 22. The bulk sample has been shipped to the analytical facility for assaying with results expected to be available in approximately one week. The samples of gold ore were acquired from new trenches and existing ore stockpiles with a total combined weight of 1.65 tons.

The ore received thorough visual inspection during all phases of the acquisition process, and of significance was that gold was observed in all of the samples. This includes fine powder gold, flakes and needles of gold as well as nuggets up to 2 grams in weight. Additionally, the various alluvial and placer deposits as well as quartz diorite host rocks to the gold were carefully sampled and segregated.

The information will be compared to the assay results, and will measurably aid in establishing exact parameters for upcoming grade control when the project goes into full production. The bulk sampling program being undertaken is in keeping with both the recommendations of the project technical report, as well as paralleling the ongoing metallurgical studies which are analyzing the WPE gold ore, and characterizing its nature.
