Arequipa Resources Ltd. corrects Drill hole depth from first table for Drill hole No. 00N-00E, 70 to 84 meters sted 0 to 84 meters.VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 24, 1996-- Arequipa Resources Ltd. (the Company) is pleased to announce that it has completed its first drill hole in the Pierina prospect. Hole 00N-00E was drilled by Major Drilling Co. as a HQ core hole to a total depth of 158 meters. Fire assay analysis of the drill core performed in Lima indicates an average grade of 6.58 g/t Au from 0-88 meters. Check assays are being run in Canada.

By the end of this week a reverse circulation drill rig in addition to the core rig will be in operation to simultaneously complete a wide spaced development program consisting of 100 x 100 meter vertical holes together with an exploration program in the four target areas. The Company is also pleased to announce results from further underground sampling at the Pierina project. The most recent results from the first and second tunnels are as follows: -0- TUNNEL No.1 Tunnel Depth Grade Gold Grade Silver ----------------- ---------- ------------ 96 - 98 meters 3.96 g/t 152 g/t 98 - 100 meters 5.02 g/t 190 g/t 100 - 102 meters 4.64 g/t 734 g/t 102 - 104 meters 4.00 g/t 282 g/t 104 - 106 meters 4.16 g/t 486 g/t 106 - 108 meters 5.06 g/t 254 g/t 108 - 110 meters 3.32 g/t 314 g/t Weighted average for 3 - 110 meters is 4.85 g/t gold, 180 g/t silver.

Check sampling of the chip sampling by channel sampling in Tunnel One indicates geostatistical acceptable correlation between the two methods, although the grade could vary downwards by as much as 10 percent in the 32-72 meter interval. Additional geostatistical analysis of the two methods is ongoing. Arequipa is also pleased to release preliminary metallurgical met·al·lur·gy n. 1.

Samples were 16 m chip samples and were leached for 48 hours. Approximately 60 percent of total gold recovery was realized in the first four hours. Samples were screened into three size fractions: 1/2 inch-1, 1/4-1/2, and minus 1/4. The speed of recovery and percent recovery increased with decreasing particle size Particle size, also called grain size, refers to the diameter of individual grains of sediment, or the lithified particles in clastic rocks. The term may also be applied to other granular materials. . The average consumption of NaCN was 0.43 kg/tonne.
