Desert Sun Receives Additional Positive Drill Results From Canavieiras.TORONTO Toronto (tərŏn`tō), city (1998 est pop. 2,400,000), provincial capital, S Ont., Canada, on Lake Ontario. Toronto is the largest city in Canada and since the 1970s has been one of the fastest-changing cities in North America, experiencing -- DESERT SUN MINING CORP.

Brasil, officially Federative Republic of Brazil, republic (2005 est. pop. 186,113,000), 3,286,470 sq mi (8,511,965 sq km), E South America. . The drilling was carried out to test three major target areas: conglomerate conglomerate, in business conglomerate, corporation whose asset growth, often very rapid, comes largely through the acquisition of, or merger with, other firms whose products are largely unrelated to each other or to that of the parent company. reefs located between 50-100m below the existing mine workings; the southeast Southeast or south east is the ordinal direction halfway between south and east. It the opposite of northwest. Southeast or South East can refer to: adj. 1. Almost exact or correct: the approximate time of the accident. 2. 1.2 km long and 400 metres wide. To date, 41 holes totaling 5,368 metres have been completed. Results have now been received for all holes at Canavieiras. Highlights include: Target Reefs below old workings - CAN-37 intersected 2.71 grams gold per tonne tonne measure of weight or mass; 1 tonne=1000 kg. See also ton. (g Au/t) over a true width of 22.2m including 4.51 g Au/t over a true width of 9.8m at the top of the reef and 4.41 g Au/t over a true width of 3.2m at the base; - CAN-47 intersected 2.85 g Au/t over 27.5m true width including 4.63 g Au/t over a true width of 13.4m. A separate reef lower in the same hole returned 2.06 g Au/t over a true width of 22.3m including 5.05 g Au/t over a true width of 6.2m; and - CAN-38 returned 8.77 g Au/t (7.25 g Au/t with highs cut to 30 g/t) over a true width of 3.9m. Target Reefs extending zones previously mined - CAN-15 intersected 16.13 g Au/t (15.63 g Au/t cut) over a true width of 2.5m; - CAN-47 returned 20.79 g Au/t over 0.7m; - CAN-53 returned 13.83 g Au/t over a true width of 1.0m; and - CAN-49 intersected 3.77 g Au/t (1.97 g Au/t cut) over a true width of 6.0m. Target Reefs above old workings - CAN-29 returned 8.09 g Au/t over a true width of 1.1m; and - CAN-31 intersected 4.08 g Au/t over 2.0m. Dr. Bill Pearson Pear·son , Lester Bowles 1897-1972. Canadian politician who served as prime minister (1963-1968). He won the 1957 Nobel Peace Prize for his role in the negotiation of a solution to the Suez crisis (1956). , P.Geo., Vice President, Exploration stated: "The drill results at Canavieiras continue to be very positive. The strike length of the reefs below the old workings has been extended to at least 300 m and high grade intersections continue to be returned from the reef extension southeast of the old workings. Both targets continue to be open along strike. We are currently compiling com·pile tr.v. com·piled, com·pil·ing, com·piles 1. To gather into a single book. 2. To put together or compose from materials gathered from several sources: the new results and will be completing an updated mineral resource estimate as well as outlining a detailed plan for future drilling." Peter Tagliamonte, Vice President, Operations and Chief Operating Officer Chief Operating Officer (COO) The officer of a firm responsible for day-to-day management, usually the president or an executive vice-president. stated: "Dr. Pearson and his team have done excellent work at Canavieiras. The positive results from the drilling program and the new program that is being planned will allow our mining team to better evaluate Canavieiras. It is also important to note that Canavieiras was not considered in our mining feasibility fea·si·ble adj. 1. Capable of being accomplished or brought about; possible: a feasible plan. See Synonyms at possible. 2. and we will be evaluating the exploration results carefully as this could potentially be a new mining area for Desert Sun."
