New Gold Zone at Reese River Project

VANCOUVER, BC - New Dimension Resources Ltd. reported that it has discovered a potentially significant gold zone at its Reese River Project located near Austin, Nevada. Two rock chip samples, each one metre in length, were taken from separate outcrops in the Amador Canyon portion of the property and reported assays of 9.8 g/t gold and 4.8 g/t gold. This is the first time that significant gold values have been encountered on the Reese River claims. The new gold zone is several hundred metres east of the Amador Canyon silver occurrences and represents a new exploration target at Reese River.

The Company will conduct additional work immediately, including hand trenching and soil sampling to better define the extent of this mineralization. It is important to note that the two small outcrops that reported these significant gold values were approximately 70 metres apart and were the only rock exposures within the area.

The Reese River Project comprises the Amador Canyon and New York Canyon zones, with Amador Canyon situated approximately two kilometres to the northwest of New York Canyon. Prior exploration conducted by the Company has focused on silver occurrences with at least two styles of silver mineralization being identified at Amador Canyon. One style is related to shallow-dipping shear zones on bedding planes that had limited drilling by another company in 2004. Historical results from one of these drill holes included 12.2 metres (drill width) of 286 g/t silver. A second style of mineralization is related to the regional, easterly trending Amador Fault that extends approximately 1,000 metres into Amador Canyon. Both styles of mineralization saw significant historical mining activity as evidenced by numerous large mine dumps. The Company believes that the Amador Fault was an important feeder for these historical mines and is designing a drill program that will test its potential to host a significant silver deposit. This target has never been drilled.

At New York Canyon, 89 additional rock samples have been collected by the Company to further evaluate the extent of silver mineralization within a 1,300 metre by 400 metre north-westerly elongated altered target zone. All samples taken reported anomalous silver values with 21 samples assaying over 100 g/t and averaging 254 g/t silver. The samples were a combination of one to two metre rock chips and representative grab sampling of mine dumps. This work supports previous exploration conducted by the Company where 39 one to three metre rock chip samples averaged 60 g/t silver and 10 grab samples from mine dumps averaged 160 g/t silver. This average did not include a high value of 1,829 g/t silver. The Company is designing a drill program to explore areas where known feeder structures are projected down dip through this potentially important altered zone. This target has never been drill tested and management considers that it has the potential to host a significant silver deposit.
