"We are pleased to see very significant copper values in the massive sulfides at the Pinwheel Zone," stated Tom Quigley, Aquila\'s President. "These values, along with overlying gold rich gossans, have important economic implications for this near surface zone. We are also pleased to see good results from the Main Zone Hinge mineralization, as this thickened lens of massive sulfide represents an important connection between the near surface East and Pinwheel zones".
Four holes from the East Zone and 20 from the Pinwheel Zone remain to be reported, and assay results from these holes will be released in the order and sequence they are received. One drill rig continues to test the Main Zone Hinge area located between the East and Pinwheel zones, and details of the current drilling, including a plan view map of the drillhole locations and outline of the East, Pinwheel, and Main Zone Hinge areas are available on the company\'s website at http://www.aquilaresources.com/projects.php#map.
Sample preparation and analyses for this release were conducted by Accurassay Labs in Thunder Bay, Ontario on split drill core supplied by Aquila. Standards were inserted in the sample sequences with check assays and re-run\'s routinely conducted.
