GOLD HILL, Nev., July 2 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- GoldSpring, Inc. (OTC Bulletin Board: GSPG), the holder of what is believed to be the largest mineral rights land position in Nevada's Comstock Lode Mining District, reported today assay results from its drill holes, numbered 37-44. Of note is the fact that Hole #44 encountered five feet grading 1.559 ounces of gold per ton and 6.35 ounces of silver per ton, suggesting potential for high grade levels in the area of this Hole.
To date, the Company has drilled 57 holes and has received third-party assay results for the first 43 of those drill holes. The Company expects to receive assay results for holes 45 - 57 later this month. The Hartford Complex represents less than five percent of the Company's total landholdings in the Comstock Lode.
'We are excited by these additional drill results. Our ongoing drilling
has furthered the delineation of the ore body at our Comstock Lode project,'
