Lakota Announces Tembo RC Drilling

Lakota Announces Tembo RC Drilling

Lakota Resources Inc. is pleased to announce that a 4,200 metre Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program on the Company’s 100% owned TEMBO project will commence on or about October 31, 2006. Since July 2006, the Company has completed 13,090 metres of Aircore (AC) drilling comprising a total of 1,221 shallow holes for regolith (soil) and saprolite (weathered bedrock) geochemical sampling. Interpretation of analytical results from samples collected from the AC drill holes, coupled with geochemical data from previous exploration campaigns has defined a series of parallel gold-bearing zones. These zones with anomalous gold values, vary from 300 metres to about 2 kilometres in length, and are parallel to the northwest – southeast orientation of Barrick Gold Corporation’s adjacent Bulyanhulu gold mine structure. Eleven distinct targets have been identified from previous data and data from approximately 60% of the 1,221 drill sites. These targets will each be evaluated by a single fence of RC drill holes.

Anomalous gold values are considered to be equal to or greater than the statistical threshold value which is mean value plus two standard deviations. The anomalous threshold value for the regolith samples is 95 ppb Au (parts per billion gold) or 0.095 g/t Au (grams per tonne gold) and anomalous threshold value for the saprolite samples is 96 ppb Au or 0.096 g/t Au.

Ten of the planned RC drill fences will test gold anomalies in the interpreted stratigraphic equivalence of the footwall zone, approximately 5 kilometres to the west northwest, of the Bulyanhulu gold mine and one RC drill fence will test a gold anomaly in the interpreted stratigraphic equivalence of the hangingwall zone, approximately 7 kilometres to the northwest, of the Bulyanhulu gold mine.

It has been reported that gold at the Bulyanhulu gold mine is hosted in quartz veins, over a strike length of 5 kilometres and averages 2 to 3 metres wide (Barrick website, 2006) within argillite at the contact between mafic and felsic rocks. Year-end 2005 proven and probable reserves at Bulyanhulu were reported to be 25.916 million tons grading 0.414 ounces gold per ton for a total of 10.732 million ounces of contained gold. Gold production from Bulyanhulu was 311,000 ounces in 2005. (see www.barrick.com).

The sample preparation for all of the TEMBO samples was carried out by ALS Chemex in Mwanza and pulps were shipped to ALS Chemex in Australia for analysis.
