All drill holes assayed high gold concentrations. Continuation of multi-element mineralization. Comments on Sampling Drilling was conducted using a two-man auger. Sufficient auger flights were required to reach depths up to 11 feet (3.05 meters). Sample material was collected in a specially designed metal container that surrounded the auger. Samples were transferred to a clean plastic bucket for transport to the splitting location. Sample splitting was conducted onsite with a small riffle splitter. The site geologist performed the sample splitting. One split of material was packaged in a plastic bag for sample analysis. The remaining portion of the split was returned to the plastic bucket for storage at a secure locality off-site. The splitter was cleaned between samples. All historical assay results are documented in the four NI-43-101 reports provided to the Company; however, assay certificates indicating the methods used, weight of samples, details on the assay procedures were not in the reports and have not been provided to the Company. Conclusions/Recommendations Historical assay results indicate potentially economic concentrations of gold with associated silver, platinum, palladium, and rhodium on all four claims mentioned. Bocana will require due diligence studies, including additional drilling, sample assays, and metallurgical studies to confirm the results from each of these four reports. It is recommended that, in future drilling programs on all of the claims that notes on detailed logging of the sample material be undertaken, in particular the presence/ absence of apparent gravel layers during the drilling, along with approximate depth. The removal of gravel from samples, either because it is not carried by the auger or is at the splitting stage, has the potential to lead to higher or lower assay values. Therefore, one or more bulk samples should be taken in order to assess whether grades are significantly different than those obtained by drilling. Qualified Person Mr. Lorne Warner, the Company's consulting geologist, is an independent, "Qualified Person" as defined by NI 43-101. Mr. Warner has approved the scientific and technical information included in this news release for dissemination. The LOI was negotiated at arm's length. The Transaction does not represent a change of business. There will be no change of directors or officers of the Company required by the Transaction. The TSX Venture Exchange has in no way passed upon the merits of the Transaction and has neither approved nor disapproved the contents of this press release. About Bocana Resources Corp.
