Huber Hills Uranium Project. Phase One Exploration Program to Begin.

The Huber Hills Project has had historic small scale uranium production. There are a total of four uranium occurrences within the Huber Hills claim block noted in the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology Open File Report 06-19. In three of these occurrences, the radioactivity/uranium is related to the contact between the Tertiary Volcanics and the underlying Cretaceous quartz monzonite. In the fourth occurrence, the radioactivity/uranium is related to an altered - silicified fracture/shear zone in the Cretaceous quartz monzonite.

The Race Track Mine, the Tag, Pam, Pat Group prospect and the Granite Group are all spatially related to the contact between the Cretaceous quartz monzonite and over lying Tertiary volcanic - sedimentary sequence. This relationship has also been reported for other prospects within the Mountain City District 3 to 5 miles further to the east. This suggests that these uranium occurrences may reflect a regional control on the mineralization. The other type of uranium occurrence occurs on the Autunite - October Prospects where the mineralization occurs along vertical fractures and/or shear zones in the quartz monzonite.

Past production from the Race Track Mine within the claim group is noted in the NBMG Open File Report 06-19. A trial shipment of 100 tons of an unreported grade in 1958 was noted. Then Proffitt and others (1982) noted production of 9866 lbs of U(3)O(8) from an ore shipment grading 0.24%. The date of this shipment is unknown. The Company is treating this information as historical in nature.

Recent sampling within the historic Race Track Mine open pit yielded results which tends to confirm this historic data. Samba Gold took two adjacent 4.5 meter channel samples (total length 9.0 meters) from an exposed bentonitic tuff found in the best developed part of the historic pit gave results of 0.149% and 0.1020% U(3)O(8). Two other channel - grab samples taken from another part of the pit gave lesser U(3)O(8) values of 220 and 280 ppm. All sample assays were completed at ACME Laboratories, a certified laboratory located in Reno, Nevada.

The objective of locating this large group of lode claims, is to secure the possible extensions of the known mineralized zones related to the contact between the underlying Cretaceous quartz monzonite and the overlying Tertiary volcanic - sedimentary sequence. In order to achieve this, a multiphase program will be undertaken. The first phase will consist of detailed geological mapping and scintillometer and magnetometer surveys. This will be followed by shallow drilling of all anomalous zones located.
