Eastfield Resources and Canadian Gold Hunter are pleased to announce that results have been received from the recently completed drilling program on the Zymo copper-gold property 45 kilometres west of Smithers, BC. Four holes were drilled at the Hobbes Zone and one hole tested a showing in the FM Zone. All holes intersected mineralization.
Three holes (ZY-09-13, 15, 16) drilled at the Hobbes zone were each 100 m step-outs to the west and resulted in extending the zone which now measures over 600 m in an east-west direction and remains open-ended. The most westerly hole, ZY-09-16 intersected the longest interval of mineralization to date indicating potential for extension to the west and south. Hole ZY-09-14 was a vertical hole drilled at the site of previously released holes ZY-08-9 (72.0 m of 0.72% copper and 0.54 g/t gold) and ZY-08-10 (57.0 m of 0.43% copper and 0.32 g/t gold) and confirmed that mineralization continues to greater depths at this location where a mineralized interval of 273 m was intersected. A summary of significant results is as follows:
| HOLE ID | FROM (m) | TO (m) | INTERVAL (m)* | Cu (%) | Au (g/t) |

The Zymo property is underlain by an alteration/sulphide system of over 8.0 km long and 2.0 km wide which hosts several mineralized targets including the Hobbes and FM. Fill-in soil geochemical sampling was carried out on the URC target which lies 1.5 km west of the Hobbes Zone and confirmed a 1.5 km long coincident copper-gold anomaly. This target is beyond the end of the geophysical grid and prospecting found no outcrops however a sample of mineralized float returned 0.33% copper and 0.22 g/t gold. This target further expands the discovery potential for the property.
CGH has the option to earn a 60% interest in the property by completing exploration expenditures of $4 million over five years. CGH may earn an additional 10% interest by completing a feasibility study and an additional 5% by arranging mine financing for Eastfield.
