Commencement of Expanded Work Program.TORONTO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 24, 1998--Nar Resources Ltd. (ME:NRL Noun 1.

The expanded work program is designed to follow-up the positive results of the 22 hole drill program announced in the News Release dated June 17th, 1998. The 22 hole drill program has tested a strike length of 4.5 km with widely spaced holes and defined a sulphide bearing "active horizon" which consists of alteration zone ranging in true thickness from 20 to 80 metres. This "active horizon" occurs within a package of volcanic rocks which are now known to be much thicker than previously recognized from regional government mapping. Drilling and assaying have confirmed that the "active horizon" contains high grade copper-zinc-silver massive sulphide 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. as zones of variable character over the drilled strike length. This is an unusual occurrence in that high grade polymetallic mineralization demonstrates good variability by ranging up to 3 metres in true thickness. The drilling to date had confirmed that the massive sulphide mineralization does not terminate at shallow depths. Down hole geophysical surveys indicate several off-hole anomalies which suggest continuity of the sulphide bearing zone to depth. Extensive drilling, further guided by down hole geophysics, will be required to test these anomalies. FEZ, the operator of the project, is commencing the initial phase of the expanded drill program with the one rig on site and then ramp up Ramp Up To increase a company's operations in anticipation of increased demand. Notes: A company might 'ramp up' operations if they just signed a contract creating substantially more demand for their product.

New conductor anomalies established by the airborne and downhole geophysical will also be drilled. The expanded drill program consists of 4,500 metres in 13 holes with provision to expand for additional 3300 metres to allow immediate follow-up of any significant intercepts and surface TEM TEM 1. transmission electron microscope. 2. triethylenemelamine. 3. transmissible encephalopathy of mink. geophysics on selected areas.
