X-Cal Resources Ltd. reports that a detailed high density gravity geophysical survey has been completed on its Mill Creek Gold Property located in Lander County, Nevada, within an area known as the Cortez Joint Venture (CJV) Area. The new gravity survey data is being interpreted and incorporated into the growing X-Cal Mill Creek data package.

Two drills are working on the 100% owned X-Cal property at this time. The core drill is currently working on its third hole to test the flank of an interpreted, buried intrusive. The reverse circulation drill is working on its fifth hole. Assays for the initial drill holes are backlogged. The core drilling program is designed to provide early stratigraphic information as part of the mapping program at Mill Creek. The reverse circulation drill is testing exploration targets.

The Mill Creek Property is located over a lower plate window known as the “Goat Ridge Window” within the CJV area. A previous drill intercept on the X-Cal property of 10 feet of 0.52 opt Au has indicated the presence of gold in a favourable geologic environment.

X-Cal’s 640-acre property is adjoined by mineral claims of two major companies. X-Cal has a co-operative data sharing agreement with one of the major companies. One of the neighbors has indicated that they are also preparing to drill.

X-Cal’s initial Mill Creek budget of US$500,000 has been increased to US$1Million. The work program will continue throughout the summer.
