Blessed Virgin Mary ) is pleased to announce that it has received encouraging results from its first phase drilling program at its Thomas Creek Project, Nevada. The four-hole drilling program encountered anomalous gold (to 390 ppb), favorable trace elements Trace elements A group of elements that are present in the human body in very small amounts but are nonetheless important to good health. They include chromium, copper, cobalt, iodine, iron, selenium, and zinc. Trace elements are also called micronutrients. and quartz-vein stockwork zones under post-mineral cover that reach approximate true thicknesses of up to 230 feet (70m) over a strike length of 6,200 feet (1.9km). Plans are to continue with a second-phase drilling program as soon as logistically possible. The Thomas Creek Project is in northeastern Nevada, 56 km southwest of Elko, Nevada Elko is a city in Elko County, Nevada, United States. The population was 16,980 at the 2000 census. It is the county seat of Elko CountyGR6. Geography and Climate Elko is located at (40.836396, -115. , and 23 km southwest of the Rain mine operated by Newmont Mining Newmont Mining Corporation NYSE: NEM, based in Denver, Colorado, USA, is one of the world's largest producers of gold, with active mines in, Nevada, Indonesia, Australia/New Zealand, Ghana, and Peru. Some smaller operations include Bolivia, Mexico, and Canada. Corp. The Project encompasses a north-trending, high-level epithermal vein system traceable for 3.7 kilometers along a range-front fault. At the North Fork project, Bullion River has received its business license from the California Secretary of State, received approval from the U.S. Forest Service, submitted a reclamation bond, received approval for a water pollution prevention plan, and is finalizing permits from the Mine Safety and Health Administration and the California Occupational Safety and Health Administration The California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Cal/OSHA) enforces the U.S. state of California's occupational and public safety laws and provides information and consultative assistance to employers, workers, and the public regarding workplace safety and health . Offsite mobilization, including equipment purchases, has begun. Underground rehabilitation is scheduled to commence in July. The North Fork project is within the Alleghany mining district in the northern part of the Mother Lode Belt in Sierra County, California Sierra County is a county located in the Sierra Nevada of the U.S. state of California, northeast of Sacramento on the border with Nevada. As of 2000 the population was 3,555. The county seat is Downieville. The only incorporated city in the county is Loyalton. . The project is 3.8 kilometers northwest of the Sixteen-to-One mine and 37 kilometers northeast of Grass Valley, where EMGOLD Mining Corporation has outlined a resource of 1.4 Moz Au at the geologically-similar Idaho-Maryland mine. Mineralization Mineralization The process by which the body uses minerals to build bone structure. Mentioned in: Rickets mineralization, n the bioprecipitation of an inorganic substance. at North Fork consists of a gold-bearing mesothermal quartz vein system at least 800 feet (240 meters) in width and 7,600 feet (2.3 kilometers) in strike length. From about 1910 to 1940, more than 6,000 feet of underground workings were developed on three levels. A large percentage of samples collected during this period yielded assays grading greater than 1 opt Au (34 g/t). At its other projects in Nevada, Bullion River expects all necessary permits to be in place shortly, and plans to commence drilling at its Corcoran Canyon, Antone Canyon, Painted Hills and Cimarron projects beginning in mid summer.
