A total of 40 channel samples were taken across veins exposed in the Upper and Lower adits at Imperial. Management is encouraged by the high-grade results, as listed below.

These results, in conjunction with the previously released high-grade assays from drill hole IR-4, have led management to decide to initiate a Phase 2 drill program which will further test gold mineralization found to date as well as new Carlin-style targets that occur in the eastern portion of the property.

Exploration is progressing on the companyís properties and management expects to be releasing a steady flow of results over the coming months.

"The Imperial is a promising mineral exploration property, in an area which we believe to be one of the highest-profile mineral regions in Nevada," said Donald Neal, President and CEO. "We believe that the Imperial, together with our other  highly-prospective Hercules and Gilman projects, comprise a significant foothold in what has historically been one of the most valuable and concentrated gold districts in the world."
