Enduro Metals Reports Drill Intercept Cut

KELOWNA, British Columbia Canada -- Enduro Metals Corp. (TSXV: ENDR; OTC: SIOCF; FSE: SOG-FF), formerly Crystal Lake Mining, is pleased to report drill results as part of the ongoing exploration program on the company's 551-square-kilometer Newmont Lake Project in the heart of British Columbia's Golden Triangle.

An ongoing comprehensive technical review of the project recently identified three gold mineralization styles associated with the 20-kilometer-long McLymont Fault, one of multiple target areas within the Newmont Lake Project. The study determined that previous operators did not identify all gold mineralization styles, and as a result only 19 percent of the total drill core has been assayed to date. ...
