Mutapa Gold Corporation -- Fourth Drill-Hole in Little Deer Project Returns Significant Assay Results.VANCOUVER, B.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 22, 1998--Mutapa Gold Corporation ("Mutapa") is pleased to announce that the fourth drill-hole in the Little Deer Lttle Deer is a fictional character from , portrayed by actress Michelle Thrush. History Little Deer was one of Duncan MacLeod's greatest loves. She was a Sioux Native American who lived with her son, Kahani, in a Sioux tribe. Project, Springdale, Newfoundland (LD98-05) has returned significant assay results as follows: -0-

The first four holes in the Little Deer drilling project have now yielded high-grade copper values (1.96-3.07%) over significant intervals [5.4 m (17.3') to 13.6 m (44.6')] within a mineralized min·er·al·ize v. min·er·al·ized, min·er·al·iz·ing, min·er·al·iz·es v.tr. 1.

The zone consists of bands of massive and semi-massive sulphide, mineralized stringers and chlorite chlorite Widespread group of layer silicate minerals composed of hydrous aluminum silicates, usually of magnesium and iron. The name, from the Greek for “green,” refers to chlorite's typical colour. alteration. It is open to depth and above hole 67-135. See news releases of May 21, 25, 28 and June 1, 9. Even though down-hole geophysics (PEM (Privacy Enhanced Mail) A standard for secure e-mail on the Internet. It supports encryption, digital signatures and digital certificates as well as both private and public key methods. Not widely used, work on PEM later evolved into S/MIME. See MIME. ) confirms the down-dip continuity of the massive sulphide, it was decided to drill-test the on-strike continuity to the west where PEM gave a similar strong response. DDH DDH Decision Diffie-Hellman DDH Developmental Dysplasia of Hip DDH Dorothy Day House DDH Document Drafting Handbook DDH Dublin Dental Hospital DDH Destroyer-Carrying Helicopter DDH Dissociated Double Hypertropia 98-05 was therefore drilled 64m to the west. This hole has been completed after passing through the zone and samples have been submitted for assay. A PEM survey of DDH98-05 has given positive results for continuation of the massive sulphides to depth and along strike to both west and east. The Company's consulting geophysicist Cliff Candy, P. Geo states "the data shows the presence of a strong intersected conductor at a depth of 430 metres. The electromagnetic response seen in this data is very similar to that of drillhole 98-02, which was also collared with a 65 degree dip. As a consequence, this zone is interpreted to be a westerly extension of the 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. tested in the 98-01 to 98-04 suite of drillholes. Also, analogous to 98-02, drillhole 98-05 has similar potential for off hole extension." DDH98-06 has therefore been commenced at the same location as DDH98-05 but at a steeper angle to test the down-dip continuation of the mineralization.
