Excellent Results Initial Environmental Testing At Herbert Gold Project

VANCOUVER - Grande Portage Resources Ltd. has received very positive acid base accounting (ABA) results from its Herbert Gold Property in S.E. Alaska. ABA tests are done as part of the permitting process to demonstrate what the acid generating potential is for the rocks around the Herbert Gold Deposit. Geochemical Solutions LLC of Colorado, tested a total of eight baseline samples from wallrocks adjacent to the mineralized veins within the Herbert Gold Project area. All ABA samples reported low acid potential and very high neutralization potential such that all rocks are net acid consumers and therefor are unlikely to produce acid. In addition, surface waters were collected to assess chemistries and suspended solids. Geochemical Solutions LLC reports that "Chemically, the water is very clean with very low total dissolved solids."
