Further to our press release of May 17, 2007, Torch is expecting that the camp at its Red Bird property will be mobilized by late June.
Torch has contracted with Neill's Mining Ltd to drill up to 8 holes (approximately 7000 feet) in an area of the property which had no previous drilling. This area lies in the northwest region of the 4000 foot by 5000 foot Red Bird intrusion and was identified as a prime target for drilling by the soil and chip sampling and ground geophysics carried out in Torch's 2006 program on Red Bird (see the August 15, 2006 release at our web-site, http://www.torchriver.ca ).
Torch is expecting that the drill will be mobilized in the first week of July, with drilling continuing at least to the end of August.
