Intertech Solutions Inc. reported that the Phase 1 mine site preparation was completed on March 21(st) at its WPE #1 and #2 gold claims located in Quartzite, AZ. The scope of work included gold pay zone excavation and road widening to allow heavy equipment to access the back of the property. The work was required to allow a large excavator to prepare each of the five remaining test sites.

Work crews bladed off the top 4-8 feet at each test site exposing the pay layer where the recoverable gold is contained. Phase 2 of the program is scheduled to commence prior to the end of March and will consist of further trenching of the 5 test locations to a depth of 30 feet for full sampling of gold bearing gravels to depth. The company has now noted on surface the presence of visible gold within exposed the "red" caliche layers that had assayed over 2 grams per ton in prior sampling.

Once the trenching and sampling program is completed, it may potentially double, or even triple the original estimates of one million in situ tons on the first five acres of the 40 total acre claim block. The presence of the iron stained caliche layer below the 4 foot depth with visible gold is extremely significant and indicates that is on the pay gravels and will now excavate to depth to confirm the entire width of the pay zone. Once complete, calculations can be finalized as to the deposit size and grade for mine planning purposes.

The WPE Claims #1 & #2 spatially located 7 miles south of the Copperstone gold mine when in 1987 and 1993 Cyprus Gold profitably open pit mined over 500,000 ounces of gold. American Bonanza Corporation has just re-opened the Copperstone Mine for its lode gold reserves. Former historic lode gold producers as the Darling and Dome Basin Mines, which operated between 1900 and 1930, are present as well as numerous turn of the century rudimentary gold mining operations which are allocated immediately south of the WPE #1 & #2 Claims.
