The latest drill results continue to define strong gold mineralization Mineralization The process by which the body uses minerals to build bone structure.

Highlights of the latest drill results include an intersection of 5.8 grams per tonne gold over a 63.15 metre intersection in hole B05-80.

There are presently nine diamond drill rigs operating at Boka 1 with the main objective to drill the Boka 1 Gold Zone on 100 metre by 50 metre centres. Drill holes B05-91, B05-93, B05-94, B05-97 to B05-105 and B05-111 have been completed and assay results for these holes will be released when received. Details of the latest drill results are listed in the following table. For drill hole locations and data please visit our website at www.swgold.com.

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 metres one-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 rising a 50 gram charge. Other elements are analyzed using ICP (1) (Internet Cache Protocol) A protocol used by one proxy server to query another for a cached Web page without having to go to the Internet to retrieve it.
