Inspection of the B & C Zone Gold Anomalies by Golden Eagle Director and Geological Consultant; Update of Ongoing Exploration Work.


SALT LAKE CITY -- Golden Eagle International, Inc. (OTCBB OTCBB

See OTC Bulletin Board (OTCBB).
:MYNG) announced today that Gene Dunham, a Golden Eagle director, and Consulting Geologist Michael H. Biste, Ph.D., visited the Company's gold and copper deposits east of Ascension de Guarayos in eastern Bolivia's Precambrian Shield during the week of June 19-24. They report that a three-month exploration program has begun in order to delineate precisely the area for bulk sampling and the initiation of pilot plant gold production.

The targets are the B and C anomalies that contain deeply laterized gold quartz veins and estimated mineralized min·er·al·ize

 material in the range of 1.5 million cubic meters, an estimate that results from a previous sampling campaign overseen by Dr. Biste. The average gold grade is estimated to be between 0.6 to 1.0 gram per cubic meter based on Dr. Biste's previous sampling work and historic data from the nearby Mina Grande, which has mined-out its reserves. The deposits can be mined by economical open pit mining techniques and present important prospects for Golden Eagle to be in pilot production at the conclusion of the initial three-month deposit delineation study.

The objective of the project is the delineation of an eluvial/saprolitic gold resource to feed a gravimetric plant with an initial monthly minimum capacity of 10,000 cubic meters. In parallel Golden Eagle will also evaluate the feasibility of reprocessing Reprocessing may refer to:
