(TSX-V: ABA) is pleased to announce the results from the first 2 holes of a phase 1 (5000 metre or 14 holes) drill program on the Talbot Lake gold project located in northern Ontario, approximately 50km northeast of Pickle Lake. Hole # 1 intersected the Main Zone from 67.3 to 76.4 yielding 2.7 g/t Au over 9.1 metres; including 11.3 g/t Au over 0.5 metres. Hole # 2 intersected 3.6 g/t Au over 1.5 metres from 173.1 to 174.6 metres. "The Company is excited to have such a positive start with our initial 2 holes intersecting good gold grades" commented John B. Good, President and CEO. "We are looking forward to the additional drill results from the remaining holes in the coming days and weeks as we attempt to build the Talbot Lake Gold Deposit". The Talbot Lake gold project hosts the "Main Zone" gold deposit which was discovered by Placer Dome in 1985 and acquired by Denison Mines in 1998. It consists of an East-West striking and vertically dipping quartz vein containing visible gold, pyrite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite. Channel sampling by Denison yielded a weighted average grade of 13.8 g/t Au over a width of 3.3m. One channel over a width of 1.8m yielded a spectacular value of 120.0 g/t Au. The gold deposit extends for a depth of approximately 200m and remains open. The following are some significant drill hole intersections by Placer Dome from the "Main Zone"; 16.4 g/t Au over 7.6m, 37.2 g/t Au over 2.5m, 26.9 g/t Au over 2.9m, 7.5 g/t Au over 7.5m.
