The gold shipments, Eaglecrest's eighth and ninth respectively, were received by the Met-Mex Penoles S.A. de CV smelter in Torreon, Mexico and were produced at Eaglecrest's onsite bulk sampling mill at San Simon.

The eighth shipment was 1.51 tonnes of concentrate containing 227 ounces of gold at a grade of 150 ounces per tonne. This concentrate represents the milling of 1,709 tonnes of rock averaging 4.7 grams of gold per tonne, including 288 tonnes, extracted from trial mining stopes that averaged 6.3 grams per tonne. Based on the average mill feed grade, the overall recovery in this concentrate was 87.4%.

The ninth gold concentrate shipment was 1.65 tonnes containing approximately 214 ounces of gold at a grade of 144 ounces per tonne. In addition to some mill clean-up material, this concentrate represents the milling of 1,350 tonnes of rock averaging 4.8 grams of gold per tonne, including 780 tonnes from trial mining stopes that averaged 5.7 grams per tonne. Based on the mill feed grades of the individual bulk samples, the overall recovery in this concentrate was 93.5%.

"This gold concentrate shipment was produced from material extracted from the lower portions of our bulk sampling program in the L463 gold shoot-the majority of which was recovered from the final stages of our underground bulk-sampling program," said Hans Rasmussen, President and COO. "Most impressive are the bulk sample gold grades that were 5.7 to 6.3 grams per tonne produced during our trial stoping program, which appear to be in line with the average gold grade we are seeing in our geologic modeling of the lower L463 gold shoot." Mr. Rasmussen added, "We gained useful geological information from the underground bulk-sampling program and are pleased that recoveries using conventional flotation have averaged around 90%. We will use the revenue from the sale of these concentrates to offset some of our exploration costs going forward."

The agreement with Penoles provides for Eaglecrest to receive payment for approximately 95% of the gold value in the concentrate. The settlement gold value is based on the average London spot gold price per ounce for the month following the arrival of the shipment to the smelter. After shipping costs and royalty payments to the Bolivian government, the company's net receipts are approximately 84% of the gold value in the concentrate.
