.4g/t PGE (platinum,palladium and rhodium). This composite included
a 1 meter grading of 21.47% of Cr203 and .5g/t PGE. In addition
channel sampling (1 meter wide) on the new Bil Showing of which
five (5) samples returned up to 9.8% Cr203 over 1 meter with traces
of PGE.

drilling of 3-5 targets totaling 1-2,000 meters. In addition to
chromium the Company also has gold discovery potential on its
Caribou Property, one grab sample returned grade of 12,3 g/t Gold
and 60 g/t Silver and 2,9% Copper on the northeast part of the
property (GM 22358 Assessment Report from MRNF).
The Thetford Mines area is presently enjoying a major staking
rush rumored to be the result of gold discoveries in sedimentary
formations together with felsic volcanic and/or intrusive
complexes. Nevado Venture Capital Inc. (TSX VENTURE: VDO) and
Niogold Mining Corporation (TSX VENTURE: NOX) have recently
announced significant acquisitions of mineral claims in the area.
In addition recent government filings indicate that Bowmore
Exploration Limited (TSX VENTURE: BOW) have acquired at least 200
permits.
Thetford Mines and the Southern Quebec Appalachian Belt have a
century long history of mining and are known for its numerous
chromite, asbestos and copper deposits. The region was the site of
Canada's first placer gold rush on the 1850's, decades before the
Klondike in the Yukon.
"Sedimentary formations in Quebec have been overlooked in the
past for their gold potential but are now strong contributors to
major new gold deposits in the Province such as Canadian Malartic
(Osisko Mining) and Eleonore (Goldcorp)," said Antonio Sciacca CEO
of DMDD, "In addition to chromium, which is our primary focus, we
intend to also take part in this new Appalachian gold play."
