the following are excerpts from the news release of january 25, 2008. this was the last time we received any drill results from a regional target, and papaya was the last target they would specifically mention by name.

they stated that the regional drilling program continued, and we believe they went on to naranjilla and barbasco because those were the next targets along strike to the north and south. but the next (and last) news release of drill results on march 12 had no mention of any results or visual inspection of drill cores from regional targets.

on april 18 the mining mandate went into effect, and drilling ceased on april 29, but by then they had done three months of work (february thru april) on their regional targets. we have not had a whiff of any of those results.

on may 9, patrick anderson and tye burt met in the aurelian offices in toronto, presumably to discuss the chicanery that would follow (i am editorializing here, please forgive me.) but by may 9 they may well have had in hand most or all of the regional drill results, including the deep hole they drilled west of the fault.

anderson and burt had several meetings in june and july, but no mention has ever been made of any drill results or regional targets since march 12.

again, this is from the january 25 news release:

Regional - Papaya

At Papaya, a target defined by mapping, sampling and a geophysical IP anomaly, anomalous mineralisation has been intersected in a number of scout drill holes. Two east west orientated fences of holes were completed on sections 9584700N (4 holes, CP-07-150, 155, 160 and 166) and 9584900N (2 holes, CP-07-171 and 173), which are 750 and 950m north of the FDN deposit respectively. The holes intercepted a number of broad zones (tens of metres) of crystalline quartz and sulphides in andesite and multiple fault zones. Assays from the holes were low grade, with broad zones of greater than 0.1 g/t Au and a best intercept of 19.84 m @ 1.05 g/t Au and 8.9 g/t Ag within CP-07-173 (note - using a lower cut off of 0.5 g/t Au).

Mr. Anderson concluded, "Results from our regional target, Papaya, have been returned. Assays show gold mineralisation continues to the north of FDN. Although the results are not of economic interest they do underscore the widespread nature and occurrence of gold in our concessions. The regional program will continue in 2008 with resources devoted to working up and drilling more of our many other gold targets."
