BAKER LAKE, Nunavut CUMBERLAND RESOURCES of Vancouver has pledged $4.7 million for a 2004 exploration program on its 100%-owned Meadowbank gold project. The program will focus on targets near existing gold deposits as well as grassroots work along the 25-km-long gold trend. Beginning early next month, the company will conduct two phases of diamond drilling totaling about 12,000 metres.

Meadowbank hosts what is believed to be the third-largest undeveloped gold resource in Canada. The six closely-spaced, near-surface deposits may contain close to 3.8 million oz of gold. The latest estimate includes measured and indicated resources of 21.59 million tonnes at 4.30 g/t Au and inferred resources of 5.70 million tonnes at 4.30 g/t Au.

Cumberland has proposed both open pit and underground mine development, with processing including gravity separation of free gold and carbon-in-pulp recovery from a sulphide concentrate. The permitting process has advanced to the environmental impact statement stage.
