The results of Santa Teresa Mineral's exploration pits program have confirmed the general location and tenor of the mineralization in 1991 pits and trenching program. Samples were taken and passed through a wash plant (sluice boxes), and weighed the gold produced from each sample. The grade associated with each sample location was observed and recorded and the sampling was extended to the bedrock whenever possible. A detailed record of this program, its results and the area covered by the sampling forms the central part of this report. These results show gold concentration ranging from 0.124 to 1.356 grams per cubic meter, and the mean values were 0.599 grams per cubic meter.

Juan Carlos Camus, CEO, said, "We will continue to explore on our Free Gold property and decide the best area to initiate exploitation on our newly constituted claims. The Company will continue to pursue constituting and perfecting all remaining claims and access rights at the Free Gold property."
