Eaglecrest Drills 9.65 Metres of 7.9 Grams Per Tonne Gold

VANCOUVER, BC – Eaglecrest Explorations Ltd. reported results from the first ten holes drilled in 2008 as part of the company’s infill and delineation program at its San Simon project in northeastern Bolivia. The program included intercepts of 9.65 metres at 7.9 grams gold per tonne in dh300 and 2.3 metres at 6.7 grams per tonne in dh305. Total drilling in the 10 holes was 2876 metres.
Hole dh300 fills a gap in the drilling pattern at the L463 high-grade gold shoot and dh305 is located in the L484 shoot. All of the intercepts in the 10 new drill holes that are longer than half metre and grade more than 2 grams per tonne with intervals grading above 5 grams per tonne highlighted.
“The high-grade gold intercept in dh300 will add significant insight to our 3D model of the L463 gold shoot,” says Hans Rasmussen, President and Chief Operating Officer. “The intercepts from new drilling in the L484 shoot are encouraging for our ongoing drill program at that hole. The new drilling and re-sampling results help us move toward our goal of establishing a NI 43-101 compliant gold resource for the Dona Amelia zone.”
While performing a detailed review of drill core in 2007, Eaglecrest’s geologists determined that some zones of gold mineralization had not previously been sampled, so a systematic re-logging and re-sampling program was undertaken. The recent results include two intervals generated by the re-sampling that assay more than 5 grams gold per tonne.
