Over the past few months, the GNH technical team in conjunction with SGS Canada-Geostat has been reviewing the historical data on the Bellechasse Belt and more specifically the Bellechasse -Timmins Gold Deposit.

In summary, the following was concluded:

The data at Bellechasse-Timmins are very encouraging and support a recommendation for additional drilling to properly outline the gold deposit at Bellechasse-Timmins.
The Bellechasse Belt has great potential to produce other gold deposits similar to those found within the Bellechasse-Timmins area. An extensive exploration program covering the Golden Hope Mines Limited claims in the Bellechasse Belt is warranted.
The initial holes as set out above are to further test the two main zones explored to date; the T1 and T2 zones. Once these holes have been drilled the next steps in the program will be laid out.

A map of the proposed drill holes is available on the company’s web site at http://www.goldenhopemines.com/exploration/bellechase_timmins_gold/

Stephen L. York, Treaty Energy’s Vice President of Acquisitions & Operations, stated, “I have filed all required documents with the Secretary of State of Texas to establish our new business entity, Treaty Energy Drilling, LLC, effective April 29, 2011.  The drilling rig that was acquired by the Company on April 20th is now listed as an asset of this new company.  In addition, this rig which is under contract currently has been drilling for the previous two weeks for independent oil companies.  There exist currently six to eight more wells to be drilled under the contracts that were acquired along with this rig purchase.  During this transition period all profits received from the drilling services will be escrowed into a separate account and transferred to Treaty Energy’s account once the final payment on the rig is made to the seller.”

[ReviewAZON asin="0160873711" display="inlinepost"]Mr. York added, “Treaty Energy Drilling, LLC will continue forward, drilling independent wells and generating revenue.  As soon as Treaty Energy and C & C Petroleum become fully integrated into the RRC system, Treaty Energy Drilling will fulfill contracts and begin drilling wells for Treaty’s newly acquired oil leases in Texas.”

Mr. York added further, “Our new drilling company will be acquiring a second drilling rig immediately to perform all drilling operations that will be required in Belize.”

Andrew V. Reid, CEO of Treaty, stated, “We have made the decision to create our own drilling company, Treaty Energy Drilling, LLC, that will drill and develop all our wells in Belize, and we are in negotiations to acquire the appropriate rig for this task.  This will allow Treaty Belize Energy Limited, our Belizean operating company, to control the daily logistics and timeframes, to be more efficient and to have better quality control of the day to day operations that can not be supplied as effectively by outsourcing to a drilling contractor.”

The Company indicated that all necessary contractor services have been addressed and are available to Treaty in Belize, to include: oil well cement companies, acid wash/frac companies, perfing companies, and pulling swabbing services, etc.

About Treaty Energy Corporation

The invitation to tender has gone to a shortlist of drilling contractors, which were selected after they responded to an initial rig inquiry.

“This is the next major step in the preparations for our 2011 drilling campaign,” said Ray Leonard, Hyperdynamics President and Chief Executive Officer. “Tendering for a moored semisubmersible rig will allow us to test identified prospects in various water depths with a single rig, which will result in greater economic and operational efficiency.”

The closing date for tenders is February 23 and a contract is expected to be awarded by early April. Hyperdynamics expects to begin drilling the first well in the fourth quarter of 2011.

AGR Petroleum Services has been providing well management support to Hyperdynamics since November 30, 2010.

The drill program will test areas of significant Lithium brine potential identified by the Company’s exploration program (i.e., areas marked by gravity lows and low resistivity) through 3 initial holes followed by the remaining 5 holes depending on the initial drilling results. By penetrating the formations comprising the basin fill in Paymaster Canyon, the holes should allow AmeriLithium to examine and sample the stratigraphy and lithology of the sedimentary sequence; the nature and extent of the saturated zones; and the concentration of Lithium and other constituents in the groundwater in these target zones. GeoXplor Corp., who will perform the drilling, estimates each hole will require one week’s time.

“It’s definitely exciting to be cresting another peak in our pursuit of domestic Lithium production,” said AmeriLithium’s Chief Executive Officer, Matthew Worrall. “Not only have we had our permitting requests granted by the BLM, but we’ve managed to make the entire permitting process much shorter and less complicated by planning a drill program without significant surface disturbance. This proactive consideration of how our drill program will affect the surrounding area has also minimized our reclamation bonding requirements.”

Additional drill program details are provided further below.

PAYMASTER PROJECT BACKGROUND

AmeriLithium’s domestic Paymaster Project represents a 5,880-acre claim block adjacent to the Clayton Valley playa, where Lithium-rich brines and evaporates have been accumulating for more than 30,000 years, resulting in the highest Lithium content found in any brines tested by the US Geological Survey (USGS) in southwestern US playas and basins.(1)

Clayton Valley is home to the only US-based Lithium producing plant, operated by neighboring Chemetall Foote Corporation, a subsidiary of Rockwood Holdings, Inc. The plant has been in production since 1967, producing an estimated 50 million kg (55,000+ tons) of Lithium to date from the region’s rich brines.(2)

In early October 2010, rough preliminary volume estimates for AmeriLithium’s Paymaster Project pointed to the potential for 7,500 to 26,000 tons of Lithium resource underlying the property. With Lithium carbonate trading in the range of $5,500-$6,000 per metric tonne according to a Q3 report by Resource Capital Research,(3) AmeriLithium’s potential Lithium resource on this single Nevada property could represent a market valuation from $132.8 to $144.9 million. The Company’s Lithium holdings also include two other Nevada-based projects nearby, as well as claims in Canada and Australia.

8-HOLE DRILL PROGRAM DETAILS

During the drill program’s planning phase, the size of equipment needed was of considerable significance. The large water well drilling rig suitable for completing the proposed drilling program is, of necessity, large and heavy. Since the soft, unconsolidated surface soils in Paymaster Canyon would make it difficult, if not impossible, to navigate the rig to areas where roads do not already exist, the Company has planned to use existing, improved and maintained roads to the fullest extent possible.

The first three holes (DH-1, DH-2, and DH-3) were placed to test the main gravity and EM anomaly in the north part of Paymaster Canyon. As with all the drill targets, this large, primary target was identified by the Company’s prior exploration efforts, and lies in the area around gravity station 50 and EM stations 28, 29, 50, and 51.

The locations for holes DH-4 and DH-5 are in the area of the northern extension of the main gravity/EM anomaly, the target area at the north end of the elongate zone identified in the area of gravity stations 79, 80, and 81.

DH-6 is situated in the gravity low in the area of gravity station 21. DH-7 is located near the center of the small anomaly identified at gravity station 5. DH-8 is designed to test the extreme south end of the Paymaster property in the north end of Clayton Valley proper. The hole is proposed to be drilled on the road between gravity stations 262 and 263 while testing the gravity low and the very low resistivity anomaly found in this area by the geophysical surveys.

COMSTOCK-DRILL-PROGRAM

The drilling has begun with two RC drill rigs and crews from DeLong Construction, Inc., of Winnemucca, Nevada (DeLong). DeLong was a drilling supplier in the Company’s 2007-2009 and Spring 2010 drilling programs.  A third drill rig and crew is scheduled to join the program in mid-November, and will be supplied by Orbit Garant Drilling of Winnemucca, Nevada, also a supplier in the 2007-2009 drilling program.

“Our experienced team has built a tremendous, working geological model that better-explains the mineralization along the Silver City fault zone,” stated Mr. Martin.  “That knowledge directs very efficient drilling, and provides multiple, high priority targets in our search for bonanza-grade mineralization.”

Development drilling is designed to provide information for a detailed mine plan, an important pre-requisite for the Company’s planned feasibility study and production.  Development drilling in the Lucerne Resource Area is focused on Hartford Hill, the primary location for the Lucerne starter pit.

The Dayton Resource Area includes a significant near-surface mineral resource, which was first reported by the Company in the August 2010, Behre Dolbear NI 43-101 technical report.  Development drilling in the Dayton Resource Area is planned to further validate and expand these encouraging results based on previous shallow drilling, and to provide the information for a detailed mine plan in this area.  Additional exploration drilling in the Dayton Resource Area is planned to expand the resource with deeper drilling, including depths to 1200 feet, to test the down-dip continuity of the mineralization.

This drilling program also includes several high priority exploration targets.  The first is the east target, identified in the August Behre Dolbear report with the recommendation, “Drilling to the northeast of the Lucerne pit (East target) has encountered very encouraging assay results.  Exploration drilling should continue with expectations of expanding resources along the northeast striking structures.”  The program also includes the Spring Valley target that follows up on the 2009 discovery hole, that encountered near-surface, high-grade mineralization covered by 30 feet of gravel.

Mr. Corrado DeGasperis, Comstock Mining Chief Executive Officer, stated, “This drilling program is designed to advance the Company’s strategic plan.  Our plan calls for a return to mine production in 2011, and validation of mineral resources and reserves of at least 3.25 million gold equivalent ounces by 2013.”

Comstock Mining has contracted American Assay Laboratories (AAL), of Reno, Nevada to assay the samples taken during the reverse circulation drilling.  AAL is an independent, certified commercial laboratory that is well regarded in the mining industry.  The resulting gold and silver assay values will be used to update the Company’s three-dimensional model of the mineralization for the project.

About Comstock Mining Inc.

Comstock Mining Inc. is a Nevada-based gold and silver mining company with extensive, contiguous property in the Comstock District.  The Company began acquiring properties in the Comstock District in 2003.  Since then, the Company has consolidated a significant portion of the Comstock District, amassed the single largest known repository of historical and current geological data on the Comstock region, secured permits, built an infrastructure and brought the exploration project into test mining production.  The Company continues acquiring additional properties in the district, expanding its footprint and creating opportunities for exploration and mining.  The goal of its strategic plan is to deliver stockholder value by validating qualified resources (at least measured and indicated) and reserves (probable and proven) of 3,250,000 gold equivalent ounces by 2013, and commencing commercial mining and processing operations in 2011, with annual production rates of 20,000 gold equivalent ounces.
