Canplats Resources Corporation (TSX VENTURE:CPQ) is pleased to announce the
results of a further twenty-one reverse-circulation drill holes completed in the
Represa Zone of the Camino Rojo project in the State of Zacatecas, Mexico.
A total of four drills continue to delineate the Represa Zone with infill
drilling as well as test for extensions of the mineralization along strike and
to depth. Drilling on the eastern edge of the zone has intersected
mineralization well past the limit defined by the surface pitting program
(please see maps at www.canplats.com). More significantly, drilling to the
southwest has intersected a thick zone of strong precious and base metal
sulphide mineralization. With the addition of these new intersections, Represa
Zone mineralization has now been traced along a length of 900 meters and remains
open for further expansion. Highlights of this drilling include:
- To the east, drill holes CR-53, CR-55, CR-58 and CR-60, have extended the
Represa Zone near-surface mineralization for up to 200 meters from the
previously-reported drill holes and intersected up to 0.85 grams gold per tonne,
19.27 grams silver per tonne, 0.28% lead, and 0.50% zinc over 222 meters in
drill hole CR-55.
- To the west-southwest, drill holes CR-56, CR-57 and CR-59 intersected
mineralization beyond previously-reported reverse-circulation drill holes. These
intersections include 1.07 grams gold per tonne, 14.97 grams silver per tonne,
0.26% lead, and 0.63% zinc over 186 meters in drill hole CR-59 and 1.73 grams
gold per tonne, 20.42 grams silver per tonne, 0.25% lead, and 0.61% zinc over 94
meters in drill hole CR-57. It's important to note that all three of these holes
terminated in strong sulphide mineralization and as such the mineralization
remains open for further expansion.
- In the main body of the Represa Zone, additional drilling continues to
demonstrate very good internal continuity of the mineralization, with results up
to 1.47 grams gold per tonne, 13.01 grams silver per tonne, 0.30% lead, and
0.41% zinc over 220 meters in drill hole CR-40 and 1.27 grams gold per tonne,
18.11 grams silver per tonne, 0.39% lead, and 0.52% zinc over 300 meters in
drill hole CR-45.

The Company is making preparations for preliminary exploration programs to
evaluate areas of favourable alteration associated with regional magnetic
features that are situated up to 20 kms from the Represa and Don Julio Zones.
The 150,000 hectare (580 square mile) Camino Rojo project is wholly-owned by
Canplats Resources and is located in an area of excellent infrastructure, 50
kilometers to the southeast of Goldcorp's Penasquito mine.
All work is being supervised by Ken McNaughton, vice-president, exploration, and
a qualified person as defined by Canada's National Instrument 43-101 responsible
for the Camino Rojo exploration program and has verified the data in the table
above. All samples were submitted for preparation in Guadalajara, Mexico and
analysis at its facilities in Vancouver, B.C. by ALS Chemex. All samples were
analyzed using aqua regia digestion with ICP finish. All gold samples were fire
assayed with an AA finish and all samples over 10 ppm gold were re-assayed using
a fire assay with a gravimetric finish. Samples over 100 ppm silver were
reanalyzed using four acid digestion with an ore grade AA finish. One in 20
samples was blind duplicate assayed at ALS Chemex in Vancouver, B.C.
