St. Jude Resources Ltd. is principally a gold exploration company focused on its two Gold Coast projects in Ghana, West Africa. The Hwini-Butre and South Benso gold deposits are located within the prolific Ashanti Gold Belt, host to several multi-million ounce deposits. An independent resource calculation by Watts, Griffis & McOuat ("WGM") has already blocked out 936,000 oz. of gold, (526,000 oz. indicated and 374,000 oz. inferred), on the company's Hwini-Butre concession. Recommended follow up infill drilling, the results of which were announced March 27, 2002, was highly successful and included intersections of 12 meters of 32.08 g/t Au and 14 meters of 49.98 g/t Au.
WGM has been retained to re-calculate the size and grade of the deposits based on new results.
St. Jude is the operator on both the Hwini-Butre and South Benso concessions and exploration has been carried out under the technical direction of George Flach, V.P. Exploration, who is a Qualified Person (pursuant to the provisions of National Instrument 43-101) on the projects. Mr. Flach leads one of the more successful and experienced mineral exploration teams in Ghana, having discovered numerous deposits, which have been mined by Golden Star, Ashanti Goldfields, Gold Fields of South Africa, and Resolute Mining of Australia. Drilling has continued at all three of the Subriso deposits and is planned to continue later this year on Hwini-Butre targets. Results will be released as they become available.
