The enriched zone defined by holes TK-2,3,5 and 7 extends for approximately 1000 metres north and south and is open for expansion in almost all directions. Hole TK-6 which is 400 metres north of the enriched zone is interpreted to be in the barren bar·ren adj. 1. Not producing offspring. 2. Incapable of producing offspring. barren see infertility. barren adjective Gynecology Infertile, sterile, fruitless, inconceivable pyrite pyrite (pī`rīt) or iron pyrites (pīrī`tēz, pə–, pī`rīts), pale brass-yellow mineral, the bisulfide of iron, FeS2. halo which is believed to surround the copper system. Hole TK-8 is approximately 800 metres to the southeast of the main area of drilling and may represent the southeast edge of the copper system. Hole TK-9 represents the discovery of a new copper zone on the Taca-Taca Lower property. This hole intersected low grade enrichment enrichment Food industry The addition of vitamins or minerals to a food–eg, wheat, which may have been lost during processing. See White flour; Cf Whole grains. at shallower depths (46-290 metres), immediately west of previously drilled holes. Drilling is continuing at Taca-Taca Lower with focus on evaluation of the significance of this shallow enriched zone. Drilling on Taca-Taca Upper (Corriente has option to earn a 100 percent interest) is expected to start within the week. Initial drilling will focus on the potential extension of the copper mineralization Mineralization The process by which the body uses minerals to build bone structure.

The closest BHP/Corriente drill hole is approximately 300 metres from the property boundary. -0- "Kenneth R. Shannon" Kenneth R.
