ENCORE STARTS WORK PROGRAM ON YUKON GOLD PROSPECT
Mr. Michael Mulberry reports
Encore Renaissance Resources Corp. has commenced a work program on its 100-per-cent-owned Yukon gold prospect that was acquired earlier this month. This property borders Underworld Resources' White Gold property. Recently, Underworld announced significant results from its continuing drill program at the White Gold property, returning grades of 3.94 grams per tonne gold over 59.9 metres and 3.59 grams per tonne gold over 98.3 metres. This prospect is approximately 5,200 contiguous acres.
Michael Mulberry, president of Encore, comments: "Encore is pleased to have two separate gold projects now under way at a time of near all-time highs being observed on gold. This new Yukon gold prospect borders Underworld, which has achieved significant results to date. Management looks forward to working in this region of the world that has garnered an ample amount of market attention since Underworld made its initial recent discovery. Not only do we have this prospect under way, but our flagship project, the Bonaparte gold prospect, is moving forward with the bulk sample mining test that is currently under way."
Encore, which has earned a 51-per-cent interest in the property to date, has the right to earn up to 60 per cent in the Bonaparte property by conducting the bulk sample and a proposed drilling program, which will enable the company to delineate the mineralization on the property.
The Bonaparte property is located near Kamloops, B.C., Canada. Encore also has approximately 5,200 contiguous acres bordering Underworld Resources in the Yukon and approximately 160,000 contiguous acres of land prospective for lithium in Alberta.

ENCORE SAMPLES 56.7 g/t Au AT BONAPARTE
Mr. Michael Mulberry reports
ENCORE COMPLETES OPEN PIT MINING PHASE AT BONAPARTE GOLD MINE
Encore Renaissance Resources Corp.'s contract miners have completed the initial open-pit mining and are setting the collar in preparation for continuing to extract the test mining bulk sample from underground. Approximately 1,000 tonnes of mineralized quartz vein rock with high sulphide content has been extracted from the open-pit mining phase of the vein.
Four pit face samples were also submitted to EcoTech Labs for analysis. They averaged 36.5 grams per tonne (g/t) gold (0 M: 45.6 g/t; 2 M: 56.7 g/t; 3 M: 23 g/t; 4 M: 18.9 g/t). Additional samples taken from this vein and samples taken from several of the similar parallel veins have been collected and sent for assay. These samples across the mined vein are believed to be representative of the grade of the mineralized rock within the potential mine site.
The preliminary testing by the mill has indicated that the recovery of the gold from the samples and potentially the whole proposed bulk sample was 97 per cent (a large sample of material was sent to the facilities grading 1.4 ounces per ton).
The mill reported as follows: "Results for latest test series are complete, recovery for best test with the use of lead nitrate to assist recovery was excellent at 97.5 per cent. Recovery for the test without lead nitrate was 85.7 per cent. For the best test the lime consumption was 10 pounds per ton, but appears we can use less. The cyanide consumption was 20.7 pounds per ton, but also appears we can use less. The next test series will be conducted on the actual as received material to confirm the results above and fine-tune them for the actual mill run." Also the gravity separation test has shown a very positive result with over 80-per-cent recovery of the gold-bearing sulphides from a simple coarse grind is possible.
Michael Mulberry, president of Encore, comments: "Management of Encore is pleased with the results achieved from the sampling taken so far. The recovery rates have been solid and management is optimistic regarding the future of the potential of the bulk test."
Encore, which has earned a 51-per-cent interest in the property to date, has the right to earn up to 60 per cent in the Bonaparte property by conducting the bulk sample and a proposed drilling program, which will enable the company to delineate the mineralization on the property. The Bonaparte property is located near Kamloops, B.C.
