Exploration conducted by Strongbow in August and September 2004 consisted of a 10 hole diamond drill program, airborne and ground geophysics as well as limited prospecting. Results for the first 4 drill holes confirmed high grade metal values reported by Noranda within the resource area and also successfully intersected mineralization on the west side of the diabase dyke (Strongbow News Release #04-17, October 4, 2004).
