During March 2010, StrikePoint commenced a diamond drilling program on the Rio Zone and 1125 metres of drilling in nine holes has been completed to date. The drill data shows continuous zones of shearing oriented in an east-west direction. The zones are 2 to 10 m wide, dip steeply and are open along strike and at depth. The southernmost shear zone is observable on surface but the northern shear has not yet been observed and may not outcrop. Core samples are being split for analysis and the results, when received, will be announced and evaluated in anticipation of a second Rio zone drilling program.
