Adrian drilling successful on Eskay `gap’

Drilling on the TOK claim gap within the Ski project owned by Adrian Resources (VSE) continues to return excellent assays and the company is confident reserves will increase as a result. The claim gap covers ground between two portions of the rich Eskay Creek property in northwestern British Columbia. Adrian has been drilling off the extension (on to the claim gap) of both the Eskay Creek 21B deposit and the recently discovered Pumphouse Lake zone.

Adrian was not as successful with drilling on the main portion of the Ski project to the north of the Eskay Creek deposit. Drill holes AD90-21 on section 19+80N and drill hole AD90-22 drilled on section 15+ 50N return no significant results. Hole AD90+25A drilled on section 14+50N returned a 13-ft. intercept of 0.057 oz. gold per ton starting at a depth of over 1,800 ft.

The deepest hole on the property, drilled on section 19+80N to a depth of 4,144 ft., intersected the 21 zone stratigraphy at about 3,900 ft. Results from the hole are pending.

Two rigs are completing infill drilling between section 13+00N and 14+00N where the company has been successful in intersecting economic gold and silver values.

This area represents the northerly extension of the Eskay Creek’s 21B zone on to Adrian’s SKI project and the infill drilling will allow the company to calculate a reserve for the area.

Prime Resources (VSE) and Stikine Resources (VSE), the owners of the Eskay Creek property, are funding the program on the SKI property in order to earn a 50% interest.

Drilling results from the Pumphouse Lake zone and the eastern- most part of the 21B deposit as they extend on to the gap are listed below. Interval Length Gold Silver Hole Section (ft.) (ft.)
