Holes B05-143, B05-147 and B05-150 to 155 have been completed and results are pending. There are presently five diamond drill rigs operating on the Property with an additional two rigs slated to be operational by March. After the Chinese New Year Chinese New Year (Simplified Chinese: ; Traditional Chinese: ; Pinyin: Chūnjié), or Spring Festival , four rigs will be moved to Boka 7 (located approximately three kilometres on strike to the south of Boka 1), to commence a 200 metre by 100 metre spaced drill program. To date, only 11 drill holes have been put down on Boka 7, nine holes in 2003 and two holes in 2004. Ten of these 11 holes intersected significant widths and grades of mineralization (see news release dated December 12, 2005) over a strike length of more than one kilometer.

Drilling will continue at Boka 1 and the Boka 7 drill program is being initiated as part of the pre-feasibility study presently being conducted on the project under the supervision of Ausenco Limited. Also as part of the pre-feasibility study, SRK SRK Shah Rukh Khan (Indian actor)

Quality Control

Southwestern has implemented a quality control program to ensure best practice in lithogeochemical sampling and analysis of soil, rock chips, trench, tunnel and drill core samples.

All drill core samples (approximately two metre, half-core composites) are shipped directly in security sealed bags to the SGS-China Laboratories preparation facility in Kunming. The entire composite is prepped to -10 mesh and a 500 gram split is sent to the SGS-CSTC Standards Technical Services Ltd. facility in Tianjan for conventional fire assay using a 50 gram charge.
