Through the end of February, 28 reverse-circulation holes and 3 diamond core holes aggregating 5,800 meters were completed in the Manganese Mine area. One group of holes tested the northeast edges of the pit and beyond. Another group of holes tested an under-drilled gap between the 2 resource areas in the planned Manganese-Mine pit or stepped out from the known resource. Preliminary assays have been received for 21 holes, including CRC-249 and CRC-250, previously reported, with summary results given below (generally oxides, except as noted):

Anatolia has been engaged in minerals exploration in Turkey since 1996. In January 2004, Anatolia obtained 100% interest in the 4-million ounce inferred gold resource at Copler. Anatolia is fast-tracking work at Copler to achieve an early production decision for an open pit gold operation for the shallow leachable oxide portion of Copler. The Company also controls approximately 1.1 million hectares within Turkey, including four properties currently under joint exploration with Rio Tinto Rio Tinto may refer to:
