Birim Goldfields Inc.: Extensive Gold-In-Soil Anomaly Outlined at Kuri on the Bui District, Ghana.


MONTREAL -- Birim Goldfields n. 1. A small slender woolly annual (Lasthenia chrysostoma) with very narrow opposite leaves and branches bearing solitary golden-yellow flower heads; it grows from Southwestern Oregon to Baja California and Arizona; - it is often cultivated.  Inc.

) ("Birim" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the results of an extensive reconnaissance soil sampling program on its Kuri prospect, located in the northern region of its Bui District property in Ghana. Kuri is the target of the largest concentration of galamsey (artisanal) mining on the Company's reconnaissance license.

The extensive preliminary soil-sampling program undertaken on the Kuri target area in July 2004 is now completed. In total 2,747 samples were collected and analyzed, of which 9.2% were quality control samples. A regional 2,535-sample soil grid was established on an 800 meter by 50-meter pattern using GPS control. Soil lines were oriented northwest-southeast, perpendicular to the regional lithological strike and previously mapped structural lineaments. The grid covers an approximately 9.6 x 10.0 km area of the Bui Reconnaissance License (see attached map).

Assay results show that 95 of the soil geochemical samples are higher than 100ppb ppb

 gold and an additional 218 of the soil samples assayed are higher than 50ppb gold.The highest recorded soil assay value was 8,760ppb gold.Preliminary interpretation of these results indicates that three broad zones of anomalous soil gold have been defined; two of which have strike lengths of over five kilometers each (see attached map). It is likely that these large soil anomalies are caused by a number of underlying mineralised vein sources and infill soil geochemistry geochemistry, study of the chemical changes on the earth. More specifically, it is the study of the absolute and relative abundances of chemical elements in the minerals, soils, ores, rocks, water, and atmosphere of the earth and the distribution and movement of  will be needed to define each source.The Company plans to continue testing all three anomalous zones with follow-up infill (200 meter by 50-meter) soil sampling.

The RC drill program involved a total of 7 re-entries and deepenings of existing drill holes on lines 27,050 N, 27,100 N, and 27,150 N, and a new hole on each of latter two lines.
