The Meadowbank 2004 drill program, with a recently-expanded budget of $5.9 million (see news release NR04-11), is focusing on deposit and open pit expansion, and exploration of new targets within the 25 kilometre gold trend. To date, the 2004 program has completed 90 drill holes in approximately 14,700 metres.

 drilling in 2004 has yielded 119.46 g/t over 4.89 metres, 97.61 g/t over 4.28 metres and 87.88 g/t over 4.91 metres confirming a shallow, very high-grade component of resources in the southern portion of the open pit design (see figure on company's website).

In the northern portion of the deposit, a series of 2004 drill holes targeted below the current pit design have also yielded excellent intersections (10.93 g/t gold over 4.26 metres, 12.72 g/t over 11.25 m and 7.06 g/t over 10.80 metres) leading to potential increased grade and a deeper open pit in the north (see map on company's website).

A table of the Goose Island deposit results and a drill hole location map are attached to this release. Additional results from the Meadowbank Phase I spring drill program will be announced within the next several weeks and the Phase II summer drill program will continue through September.

The Goose Island deposit is one of six closely-spaced, near surface gold deposits at the Meadowbank gold project.
