Geocom Resources Announces Successful Drilling Program Completed at Iliamna Project.BELLINGHAM, Wash. -- Geocom Resources Inc. (OTCBB OTCBB See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB). :GOCM GoCM Government of Canada Marketplace GOCM Goals, Objectives, Commitments, And Measures ) is pleased to report on the completion and successful results of drilling on the H Claims Block of the Iliamna Project, Alaska. A total of 1,006.8m (3,303 feet) was drilled in four holes to expand upon the copper-gold 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. discovered during the 2003 drill program and test geophysical anomalies delineated by the 3D IP survey carried out earlier this year. Geologic logs show that pyrite-chalcopyrite-pyrrhotite-molybdenum mineralization was intersected in all four widely-spaced holes.

Disseminated porphyry-style and fracture-controlled copper-gold mineralization were intersected in both a granodiorite granodiorite Medium- to coarse-grained rock that is one of the most abundant intrusive rocks. It contains quartz and is distinguished from granite by having more plagioclase feldspar than orthoclase feldspar; its other mineral constituents include hornblende, biotite, and intrusive rock and the enclosing metamorphic met·a·mor·phic adj. 1. also met·a·mor·phous Of, relating to, or characterized by metamorphosis. 2.

These flat fractures and veins also appear to be a principal control on the distribution and intensity of the alteration zones. The types and style of the alteration encountered indicates that the drilling so far has located only the distal portions of a potentially very large system. Core has been split, and samples sent to Fairbanks for analysis. The Company utilizes ALS Als (äls), Ger. Alsen, island, 121 sq mi (313 sq km), Sønderjylland co., S Denmark, in the Lille Bælt, separated from the mainland by the narrow Alensund. Chemex Laboratories for its analyses. In addition to the internal standards used by ALS Chemex to ensure quality of assays, the Company maintains its own geochemical standards program to manage quality control in sampling and analysis. A selected sample of granodiorite intrusive rock has been provided to the University of Alaska-Fairbanks for age dating. Additional samples have been provided to Vancouver Petrographics for detailed thin section and descriptive analysis. As part of the amended agreement with BHP Billiton (see news release dated December 10, 2004), Geocom intends to conduct additional geophysical work on the D claims block this winter, to determine bedrock depth and optimum drill locations. A full project report is in preparation for submission to the Company's partners. Management considers the results obtained to date to be very positive for the continuing and timely development of the Iliamna Project. Geocom is earning an interest in the Iliamna Project from TNR TNR The New Republic TNR Trap-Neuter-Return (controlling feral cats) TNR Times New Roman (font) TNR Antananarivo, Madagascar - Ivato (Airport Code) TNR Tonic Neck Reflex Gold Corp. and BHP Billiton Minerals International Exploration Inc. The Iliamna Project is located in the Kuskokwim Gold Belt, about 50 miles west of the Pebble deposit. On behalf of the Board of Directors /s/ John E. Hiner John E.

Safe Harbor Statement: Statements in this document that are not purely historical are forward-looking statements, including any statements regarding beliefs, plans, expectations or intentions regarding the future. Forward-looking statements in this release include statements regarding copper-gold mineralization and alteration, and their general distribution and size, as well as the Company's intention to conduct additional geophysical work on the D claims block this winter. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially include risks and uncertainties of chemical analyses, and potential problems or delays that might impede or prevent the planned additional work contemplated by the Company, including the drilling planned for 2005. |
