Blind Creek Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:BCK) ("the Company" or
"Blind Creek") reports that reconnaissance drilling at the Wann
River Project in the Atlin Mining Division of northern British
Columbia intersected multiple gold and silver veins grading up to
11.3 g/t gold and 226 g/t silver over 1 meter intersections, 4
kilometres south of the past producing and historic Engineer
gold-silver mine.
The 17 hole, 3,325 metre reconnaissance drill program, occurred
in a zone containing seven newly re-discovered quartz vein systems
within an 800 metre by 180 metre prospective corridor adjacent to
Wann River. Drilling took place from five separate drill pads (WR1
to WR5), set up over a 700 metre NW-SE trend. Targets in the
Company's extensive claim holdings will be for a bulk tonnage
gold-silver mesothermal quartz stockwork porphyry type system as
well as a high grade gold-silver epithermal quartz vein system.
J. Frank Callaghan, President and CEO states, "It is exciting to
have hit multiple occurrences of gold and silver mineralized quartz
veins in these initial reconnaissance drill holes."
Data from 13 drill holes has been received of which nine
indicated mineralized intersections. Data from three holes remain
to be received; one hole (WR05-01-11) was not analyzed. Holes
drilled ranged from vertical to -50 dips; drill directions were 30,
70, 210 or 250 degree azimuths.
Drilled rock intercepts include metamorphosed medium grained
granodiorite, metamorphosed fine grained diorite and metamorphosed
diorite, as well as un-metamorphosed fine to medium grained,
slightly porphyritic quartz diorite. Multiple quartz stock works
sections are present as well as quartz vein intersections up to 3
metres in length. True widths of the intercepts will be determined
after additional drill holes are completed.
On surface, seven quartz vein systems host analytical gold and
silver, as well as visible chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite,
tetrahedrite in addition to more rare molybdenite and arsenopyrite.
Drill core indicates visible to trace amounts of these minerals
generally in one metre intercepts with sharp cut-offs.

Drill core processing included descriptive logging and sampling
for geochemical analyses. The NTW size drill core was diamond sawed
in two halves at the Company's rented facilities in Atlin, BC.
After sample preparations were completed, sample pulps were
forwarded to Eco Tech Laboratory Ltd. in Kamloops, B.C. for ICP 28
element analysis, geochemical gold analysis and fire assay when
returns are over 1000 ppb Gold. Analysis/Assays are made on
requested 50 gram sample.

The company began staking claims in 2004 around the historic
Engineer mine and in the historic Atlin placer gold camp in the
Atlin mining division of north western British Columbia. The two
claim groups, now known as the Tagish Lake and Atlin claim groups,
have grown to a total of 139,081 hectares of mineral claims. The
Wann River project consists of mineral claims covering an area of
2,271 hectares within the Tagish Lake claim group; it is located
approximately four kilometres south of the historic Engineer mine.
The project area is accessible to sealed roads which lead to the
Alaska Highway, including the White Pass Rail route to Skagway,
Alaska, via 80 kilometres on navigable Tagish Lake.
