The work undertaken so far has clearly established the presence of three (3) systems of mineralized lenses in this area of the mine, with average gold and copper grades presented in the table below.

These results definitely confirm the improvement in gold grades at depth over existing operating conditions, which had been suspected from the very beginning of the present drilling campaign.

In view of these results, MSV intends to complete the program by immediately proceeding with the drilling of 12 additional holes before the end of the second quarter of 1996. This final series of holes will then enable MSV to begin calculating the mineable reserves of these zones. -0-
