(i)CAH holes intersected silver values of greater than 100 grams (2.92 oz/t) in one or more 1.5m sample intervals.
CAH-244 was drilled more than 200 meters southeast of the main mineralized zone and encountered both low and high grade gold mineralization as indicated in the table above. Only one historic drill hole is situated in this area; CAH-38, which intersected 29.0m of 0.62 g/t (0.018 oz/t) from 19.8 to 48.8m and 1.5m of 24.01 g/t (0.701 oz/t) from 120.4 to 121.9m. Since both holes encountered disseminated mineralization and high grade gold veins, Consolidated has planned more drill holes in this area to further explore and expand upon this newly defined exploration target.
CAH-259 was drilled within the known area of mineralization where many of the historic drill holes were terminated at relatively shallow depths (approximately 100m) in anomalous gold/silver mineralization. Assay results from CAH-259 indicate an extensive zone of moderate grade gold mineralization along with high grade veins that extend far below the results encountered in the historic drill holes. Additional drilling will be planned for this area to focus on further expanding precious metal mineralization at depth.
Assaying of the reverse circulation samples was conducted by Inspectorate Laboratory in Reno, Nevada. Drill samples were collected by Mr. Paul Stubble (project geologist), split on site, placed in sample bags and delivered to Inspectorate Laboratory in Reno, Nevada for analysis. In addition, blanks and certified standards have been inserted into the sample stream at random intervals for quality control purposes.
The Cahuilla Project is a large epithermal, paleo-hot springs system hosting multiple high grade veins that occur within an extensive body of disseminated gold-silver mineralization. For further information on the Cahuilla project refer to the NI 43-101 technical report entitled "Cahuilla Property 43-101 Technical Report," dated October 25, 2007 prepared by Todd Wakefield, MAusIMM of AMEC E&C Services filed on Sedar on November 15, 2007.
