SURFACE WORK PROGRAM COMMENCES AT ELIZABETH PROJECT
The Board of Directors of J-Pacific Gold Inc. is pleased to announce that a surface exploration program has commenced on J-Pacific Gold's Elizabeth project. The goal of the program is to follow up geochemical targets established from the 2002 exploration program that could potentially host extensions to the known veins or new vein structures. Planned exploration includes trenching, geochemical sampling and geological mapping of the 200-metre-long "Southwest" gold soil anomaly, the No. 9 vein and nearby gold anomalous "Listwanite" zone. The program may also include the construction of sites for future drilling of any identified mineralized zones.
In the fall of 2002, the company commissioned an extensive mapping, sampling and drilling program at the Elizabeth project. The work included the collection of 440 surface and underground samples and the drilling of 16 diamond drill holes totalling 1,642 metres. This work confirmed the presence of high-grade gold values in known quartz veins, demonstrated the continuity of the structures which host veins and identified several new areas with potential for economic gold mineralization.
The Elizabeth Gold Project, consisting of 2,200 hectares (5,436 acres) of owned and optioned crown grants and mineral claims, is located 30 kilometres (18 miles) south southwest of the permitted mill at the J-Pacific-Jipangu Inc. owned Blackdome Gold Mine. Given the proximity and the easily upgradeable access to Blackdome, the Elizabeth Gold Project could be complimentary to any future production using the Blackdome facility.
On behalf of the Board of Directors,
“N. Ferris”<br>President and CEO
