Eclipse Gold Mining Corporation reports drill results from its first phase of drilling at the Hercules Gold Project located in Lyon County, Nevada. A total of 3,271 meters were drilled in 12 exploration reverse circulation (RC) drillholes. Targets tested include Hercules, Cliffs, Loaves, Northeast, and Rattlesnakes; eleven of the twelve holes intersected significant oxidized gold mineralization, and all targets contained gold mineralization. Importantly, this drilling has highlighted the Hercules mineralizing system appears to strengthen to the south on the Company's 85 square kilometer land package. The interquartile range (25-75% of the population) of cyanide soluble assays ranged between 21-85% of fire assay gold, with a mean of 55% and a median of 59%. As expected, cyanide solubility generally decreases with depth. Hole H20004 identified a potential new target to the east of previously drilled mineralization that the Company will be evaluating for future work. The Company currently is planning its next steps which in the near term will include geophysical surveys to identify extensions to the known mineralization.
