Mar. 18, 1999MILLSTREAM'S FIRST DEEPER DRILL HOLE
POTTER MINE PROPERTY
At the request of the Canadian Dealing Network (CDN) for comments on the recent market activity of its shares, Millstream wishes to release the following:
Millstream's Deeper Drill Hole S99-01A was targeted to test the downward continuity of the Cu-Zn-Co sulphide mineralized mine horizon; 1000 feet below the previous ore intersected in hole S98-01.
Hole S98-01 - Ore interval vertical depth 605 metres (1986 ft.) from surface.
Core length - 7.75 metres (25.4 ft.) assayed: 5.34% Cu, 3.24% Zn, .067% Co.
A Preliminary report of hole S99-01A from the company's Consultant Geologist, David Gamble, shows the targeted mine sequence was intersected for 62 metres (203 ft.) downhole from 1131 metres (3711 ft.) to 1193 metres (3914 ft.) containing several intervals of massive Cu-Zn-Co sulphides from 1 metre (3.3 ft.) to 3 metres (9.8 ft.) in core length. Detailed core logging is currently being done with core to be split and sent for assay as quickly as possible.
The 62 metre (203 ft.) intersection demonstrates the mine sequence is continuing, and not diminishing, at depth. The massive sulphide intervals are approximately 914 metres (3000 ft.) vertically below surface and 579 metres (1900 ft.) below the past mine bottom working level.
The principle objective of Millstream Mines Ltd. is to enhance and develop known mineral properties to production potential. Millstream holds mineral claims or interests, directly or through wholly owned subsidiaries in Canada, USA, and the Czech Republic.
