 VENTURE:DIA) In light of the promising results Big Red obtained from its first exploratory phase on the Black, Lee and Tolstoi properties, it is now planning a systematic till sampling campaign which will include the use of an Argo-mounted Pioneer drill to obtain larger samples at bedrock to test for the presence of kimberlitic rocks.

As a result of the interpretation of geophysical surveys of the three properties as well as the excellent selected till sample results obtained previously and announced in late August, 2005, the company is proposing to auger-drill three (3) fence pattern lines each with between 5 to 10 holes per line down-ice flow from and over the geophysical anomalies found on the properties.This is to test the dispersion pattern The distribution of a series of rounds fired from one weapon or a group of weapons under conditions as nearly identical as possible; the points of burst or impact being dispersed about a point called the mean point of impact.  of the KIMs and DIMs found to date on each property, as well as to try to locate additional minerals and possibly some kimberlitic material.

Depending on the quality of the material found Big Red might also use the Pioneer Drill for selected limited 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. To drill holes to max depths of twelve thousand feet, for the recovery of core used in verifying mineral  purposes on any kimberlitic rock it might find on site as well as test the bedrock.The Company will also sink some holes up-ice of the anomalies to show cut-off cut-off Anesthesiology The point at which elongation of the carbon chain of the 1-alkanol family of anesthetics results in a precipitous drop in the anesthetic potential of these agents–eg, at > 12 carbons in length, there is little anesthetic activity, .

, visual identification and SEM micro-probing the total cost of this campaign should be under $100,000.

Previously on Lee, the following minerals had been identified:
- Twelve (12) orthopyroxenes;
- Sixteen (16) clinopyroxenes (two eclogitic and one high-pressure
  eclogitic);
- one (1) G11 garnet;
- one (1) G11 garnet;
- five (5) eclogitic garnets
- one (1) chromite;
- four (4) ilmenites;
- one (1) olivine;
- one (1) amphibole; and,
- seventeen (17) garnets identified as either G5 or almandines and
  most likely coming from the property or other regional source. (see

The LEE property is located proximal to the recent discovery of a large kimberlite kimberlite: see diamond.
