GOLD EXPLORATION: Bonaparte bulk sampling resumed

BRITISH COLUMBIA - Encore Renaissance Resources has resumed bulk sampling work at its Bonaparte gold project near Kamloops. Approximately 10,000 tonnes of material will be removed.

Dewatering of the decline is complete. Development of the decline will proceed to the east to intersect the high-grade Eagle vein 20 metres away. Samples will be taken from that vein on two headings. The decline will then turn west to re-intersect the high-grade No.20 vein. The work will also intersect several other veins including the "prolific" Crow vein.

Encore says the environmental water runoff assessment of the entire mine area is complete and all environmental recommendations have been implemented.

Encore is earning a 60% interest in the Bonaparte property. More information is posted at www.EncoreRenaissance.com.
