Beaufield, Falco cut strong sections

Encouraging drill results are coming from a broad 2,460-ft long strongly altered zone on the Lac Rouleau property, partners Falconbridge Ltd. (51%) and Beaufield Resources (49%) say. The claims are part of a 4-claim group known as the Macho-Rouleau project in Urban and Barry twps., Que.

The current drill program of 64 holes is focusing entirely on the Lac Rouleau claims which cover the large shear structure. Five of the stronger sections are listed below. Hole Interval Core Width Grade
