Altavista Mines: Excellent Channel Sampling Results: Drilling to go Ahead on Montbray.


BOUCHERVILLE, Quebec--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 12, 1996-- Altavista Inc.(ME AIA AIA - Application Integration Architecture .) Altavista Mines Inc. is pleased to announce channel sampling results for the Montbray showing, where a prior rock sampling returned high grade gold values of up to 120 g/t Au (3.5 oz/Au).

The results obtained to date confirm the Montbray property's potential and have induced the Company to undertake drilling on the property.

Forty-eight channel samples were collected on the stripped area of the Montbray showing. The total sampling lenght was 23.5 meters over 9 channels. The calculation of the weighted grades over various adjacent sample lenghts produced the following results:


Channel No.     Grade       Meters         Grade      Feet
              (g/t Au)                   (oz/t Au)

These excellent sampling results will enable the Company to undertake a drilling program on the Montbray property. The program will consist of 1,200 meters (3,937 feet) of diamond drilling Diamond Drilling is a highly specialized industry used for mineral exploration around the world. Most commonly using wireline and core bits with diamond encrusted matrix.
