Optimum Ventures Ltd. reported several new zones of mineralization on the Company's Harry property located in the Golden Triangle in NW British Columbia. Recent mapping has indicated a sequence of volcanic rocks in the NE portion of the claim block with thick sections of mudstone in the SW, both of which are intensely altered with zones of mineralization with an abundance of sericite and pyrite. Quartz veins, quartz breccias, and semi-massive sulphides also occur within these alteration zones.

These wide zones of intense alteration trend N and NW along the claim length. This type of alteration and mineralization is similar to nearby gold deposits being developed at the Premier mine and at Brucejack Lake, with mineralization in the mudstone similar to Eskay Creek. The Company plans to expose the sub-crop's area to determine the zone's strike and dip before the upcoming drilling.

Drilling on the Swann will be the last area tested as its close proximity to roads is not hampered by bad weather. BR (new); Located near the Swann zone, BR is approximately 100m higher in elevation. The zone consists of massive galena with minor sphalerite veinlets in a stockwork zone.

The zone is poorly exposed in an overburden-covered area. Further work is required to determine if it is part of the Swann zone. Several drill holes are planned in this highly accessible zone.

Ursula (new); The zone consists of massive pyrite with minor galena and sphalerite exposed over 10 m wide. Galena- rich boulders up to 1m in diameter located down ice from an overburden-covered area in the zone indicate the possibility of strike extension. Chip sampling and Shaw drill testing are planned for this zone.

Saw Cut (new); A zone of pyrite and sphalerite in mudstones was located along the edge of the Salmon Glacier with the presence of hydrozincite and zinc carbonate over an extensive area. Coarse pyrite and fine sphalerite occur along layers of fine beds in this zone. This mineralization type appears to be similar to the Eskay Creek deposit.

Further sampling and drilling are to be planned here. GS (new); A new discovery occurring within north trending sediments including, galena and sphalerite mineralization along a stockwork zone. Additional sampling is planned as the Company continues to define this new discovery.
