Geoinformatics Announces New Discovery At Its Whistler Project in Alaska

TORONTO, Nov. 4 /CNW/ - Geoinformatics Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: GXL)
("Geoinformatics", "GXL" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has
intersected widespread mineralization in the first hole drilled on a regional
prospect called Raintree West, located approximately 1.5 km east of the
Whistler Zone which hosts a NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate.

<<
Highlights

- First hole ever drilled at Raintree West intersected:

- 160 metres grading 0.59 g/t gold, 6.02 g/t silver, 0.10% copper,
0.20% lead, 0.46% zinc (or 1.26 g/t gold equivalent) including:
- 24 metres grading 1.37 g/t gold, 6.32 g/t silver, 0.13% copper,
0.36% lead, 0.80% zinc (or 2.42 g/t gold equivalent).
>>

Raintree West is one of several regional concealed targets drilled by
Geoinformatics during the 2008 summer field season. Assays are pending on
three remaining regional prospects and two holes from the Whistler Zone
itself.
"We are extremely pleased with the discovery of a new mineralized system
on the Whistler Project as it confirms the exploration potential and validates
the Company's innovative exploration techniques," said Mr. Darren Holden,
Chief Operating Officer of Geoinformatics. "We have long suspected that the
mineralization defined at the Whistler Zone is one of many related porphyry
systems on the project. This discovery of widespread porphyry hosted gold
mineralization at Raintree, with comparable grades to those of Whistler's Main
Zone, confirms this theory and bodes well for other similar discoveries to
further enhance the value of the overall Whistler Project."

Raintree West Prospect

The Raintree West prospect lies in a cluster of prospects identified by
the Company using proprietary targeting techniques. Raintree West exhibits a
comparable magnetic signature to that of the Whistler Zone with a coincident
induced polarization (IP) anomaly that extends over 800 metres in length.
Raintree West is a blind target, concealed by a thin veneer (5 metres) of
gravels in relatively flat ground.
Drill hole RN-08-06 was angled west to east and intersected diorite
porphyry rocks immediately below gravel overburden. The first 22 metres of the
diorite porphyry contained low-grade mineralization, below which visible
alteration and veining increased and was accompanied by visible copper, lead
and zinc sulphides over the next 190 metres. The hole remained in diorite
porphyry to the total depth of the hole at 300 metres.

Comment on Metal Ratios and Base Metal Content

Statistical analysis of the assay results shows that the gold in RN-08-06
is directly associated with copper mineralization, as is the case at Whistler.
However, Raintree West's assays exhibit a higher gold to copper ratio of
approximately 5:1 overall. Whistler's Main Zone shows gold to copper ratio of
4:1 compared with 3:1 for the overall Whistler Zone. This, in tandem with the
fact that Raintree West also contains lead and zinc mineralization, suggests
that this intercept may represent the periphery of a gold-copper porphyry
system.

Intercepts calculated using a 0.3 g/t 'gold-equivalent cut-off' on a
minimum 10 metre width and maximum 20 metre internal dilution unless
otherwise noted. Gold-equivalent cut-off is based on the assumptions of
75% recovery of gold and silver and 85% recovery of copper, lead and zinc
and metal prices of US$550 per oz. gold, US$8 per oz. silver, US$1.50 per
lb. copper (as used in the Whistler Resource Estimation and filed on

About Whistler Project

The Whistler Project is located approximately 160 km. northwest of
Anchorage, Alaska. Whistler is one of the largest groups of contiguous mineral
claim blocks held by a single company in Alaska, outside of existing mines and
mine development projects.
The Whistler Zone hosts a NI 43-101 compliant Indicated resource of
30 million tonnes grading 0.87 g/t gold, 2.46 g/t silver and 0.24% copper and
an Inferred resource of 134 million tonnes grading 0.64 g/t gold, 2.18 g/t
silver and 0.20% copper. In addition, there is considerable mineralization in
the Whistler Zone that has been identified by drilling and reported in the
43-101 resource technical report filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com), but has not
yet been categorized as a mineral resource.
The Whistler Zone is just one of a cluster of targets and prospects
within the 440 sq. km. block of 732 State of Alaska mining claims that make up
the Whistler Project. Most of these targets are covered by shallow alluvial
sediments and do not have the significant outcrop of the Whistler Zone, but do
have comparable geophysical, geological and/or geochemical signatures.

Full Metal and Highbury Drill 5.5m of 4.28 g/t Au at Moore Creek Gold Project

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - Nov. 11, 2008) - Full Metal Minerals (TSX VENTURE:FMM) ("Full Metal") and Highbury Projects Inc. (TSX VENTURE:HPI) ("Highbury") are pleased to announce that assay results have been received from a thirteen-hole, 1,878-meter drilling program at their Moore Creek gold project, located in the Kuskokwim region of West Central Alaska.

The 2008 drilling program followed up on the "Spring" and "Troy" zone discoveries made during the 2007 mechanical trenching program (see FMM 2007 NR #29, November 6, 2007). Both zones consist of northeast trending, steeply dipping, sheeted quartz veins ranging from one to ten centimeters thick with coarse gold and disseminated sulfides, and are hosted within pervasively silicified and tourmaline-altered monzonite of the early Tertiary Moore Creek pluton. Alteration intensity and grade appears to increase to the south, towards the Iditarod-Nixon Fork Fault. Channel samples from the Spring Zone assayed up to 8.86 g/t Au over 11.0m and from the Troy Zone assayed up to 88.5 g/t Au over 0.2m.

The discoveries occur at the headwaters of significant placer gold producing streams; State of Alaska Records (2005) report that Moore Creek has produced over 60,000 ounces of placer gold, often of an exceptionally coarse nature and noted for attached quartz vein rock. Mineralization is located adjacent to the Iditarod-Nixon Fork fault zone, which is also associated with NovaGold/Barrick's Donlin Creek gold deposit (M+I: 29.38M oz; Inf: 17.1M oz; NovaGold News Release Feb 7, 2008) located 90 km to the southwest of the Property.

Holes MC08-01 to MC08-05 and MC08-09 to MC08-12 tested the Spring Zone and Holes MC08-06 to MC08-08 and MC08-13 tested the Troy Zone. Strong alteration was encountered with zones of silicified and tourmaline-altered monzonite with stockwork quartz veins (up to 79 cm wide) and disseminated-massive arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrite, and rare pyrrohtite intersected in the majority of the holes. Results are as follows:

Ni-Cu-PGE mineralization discovered on PFN's Tonsina Property

VANCOUVER, May 5, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX News Network/ ----Pacific North West Capital Corp. is pleased to announce the results from the 2007 exploration program conducted at its 100% controlled Tonsina Property located in Southcentral Alaska. Outcrop sampling and mapping completed in September has defined a drill ready nickel, copper, and platinum group element target.

Highlights from the 2007 exploration program include:
- Chromite bearing outcrop grab samples contain up to 2.3g/t platinum and 1.6g/t palladium - Chip channel samples of chromite
and sulfide bearing outcrop contain up to 0.86g/t platinum and 1.1g/t, palladium over a 2 meter interval - Sulfide bearing
outcrop grab samples contain up to 0.97% nickel and 0.58% copper - Chip channel samples of sulfide bearing outcrop contain
up to 0.75% nickel over a 2 meter interval

The 7,360 acre Tonsina Property is centered on Sheep Hill in the northeastern Chugach Mountains only 8 km east of the paved Richardson Highway and approximately 80 road miles north east of the all-weather port of Valdez.

To view image click on the link:

http://www.pfncapital.com/i/misc/050508image.jpg

This photo displays typical Sheep Hill nickel, copper, platinum group element mineralization which consists of sulfides (brassy color blebs) and chromite hosted in partially serpentinized ultramafic rocks (charcoal colored foreground). Two samples collected from this outcrop returned values of 0.39% Ni, 0.19% Cu, 616ppb Pt, 856ppb Pd, and 0.49% Ni, 0.25% Cu, 574ppb Pt, 856ppb Pd.

Nickel, copper, and platinum group element mineralization is hosted in dunite and lherzolite within the Tonsina Ultramafic Complex. The mineralized rock units comprise a north dipping magmatic layer. Sulfide and chromite mineralization within this layer define a distinct horizon (reef) up to 30 meters thick that has been mapped and sampled over a strike distance of 900 meters. The mineralized unit extends under cover to the north and west and is truncated to the east by a high angle fault with unknown displacement. This exploration success illustrates the potential for reef style nickel, copper and platinum group element mineralization in other magmatic layers of the Tonsina Ultramafic Complex.

A continuous chip channel sampling program was designed to cross the mineralized horizon and test the vertical extent of the exposed mineralization. Results indicate that copper and nickel correlate with sulfur, and that platinum group elements correlate with chromium. High grade metal anomalies extend over several meter intervals: 44-50 meters - 6 meter interval grading 0.8g/t platinum and 1g/t palladium, and 62-74 meters - 12 meter interval grading 0.59% nickel. The apparent dip of the sulfide horizon at TOC0717 is 67.35degrees, the slope at TOC0717 is 33.69degrees, therefore the true thickness of the 2 m samples is 1.975 m.

Table 1 Selected geochemistry from Chip Channel TOC0717

Examination of thin sections from selected mineralized samples at the University of Alaska petrography lab confirms the presence of widespread pentlandite together with millerite and lesser covellite.

The Tonsina project was part of the reconnaissance agreement with Stillwater Mining Company which was terminated in March 2008. This summer PFN's exploration plans are to continue outcrop sampling and mapping in an effort to expand on the currently identified sulfide and chromite horizon and identify possible mineralized horizons in the alternating magmatic layers. An IP survey is also planned to trace the north dipping mineralized horizon under cover to the west, and north.

ITH Outlines Large Geophysical Anomalies Associated With High Copper-Gold-Silver Mineralization on BMP Project, Alaska

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA, May 13, 2008 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX News Network) ----International Tower Hill Mines Ltd. ("ITH" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: ITH)(AMEX: THM)(FRANKFURT: IW9) is pleased to announce the results from a recent high resolution airborne magnetic and EM survey completed over key mineralized areas of the Company's BMP project, Alaska. In the spring of 2008, Fugro, the Company's contractor, completed an airborne magnetic and electromagnetic survey of the core target area covering an area of 30 square kilometres in two blocks with a nominal line spacing of 50 metres. The results have outlined several large geophysical anomalies spatially associated with the outcropping polymetallic (copper-gold-silver) skarn deposits that were discovered in 2007 (to see Figure 1 please click on: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/ith513a.jpg).

The largest anomaly is associated with the 6120 target area and covers approximately 1 square kilometre forming at an important structural intersection on the south side of the core intrusive. Twenty rock samples collected from a 150 metre diameter area of outcropping skarn at the 6120 target averaged 2.3% copper, 3.4 g/t gold, 33 g/t silver, 0.16% nickel and 0.07% cobalt (to see Figure 2 please click on: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/ith513b.jpg). In addition, similar skarn type mineralization was found 2 kilometres to the north at the 6920 prospect.

The Dall and Little Bird prospects, located on the northern target block (approximately 5 kilometres north), also appear to be associated with skarn and distal skarn type mineral systems. The Dall target was drilled by Anaconda Mining Company in the 1980's with two diamond drill holes, each of which intersected very significant high-grade mineralization (4.0% copper, 11.8 oz (370 g/t) silver, 1.0% zinc and 0.3% lead over a true thickness of 3.5 metres and 0.9% copper, 6.0% zinc, 5.7oz (177 g/t) silver and 1.0% lead over a true thickness of 5.5 metres). The size and dynamic range of the anomalies suggest that they are related to a large base and precious metal bearing hydrothermal system which warrants aggressive follow-up exploration.

BMP Project Summary

The BMP property is located approximately 40 kilometres north of the Company's Terra project. The property covers approximately 13,193 hectares and is comprised of 108 Alaska State mining claims staked in October 2006 and owned 100% by the Company (approximately 6,993 hectares) and approximately 6,200 hectares of fee simple lands held under the exploration agreement with option to lease from Cook Inlet Region, Inc. (an Alaska Native Corporation) (See NR08-07).

The property is underlain by Paleozoic sediments which have been intruded by dikes and plugs of early Tertiary age. Exploration by the Company in 2007 confirmed a number of mineralized zones with numerous high-grade copper, silver, zinc and gold values being returned. This work linked much of the mineralization to a prolific skarn-type mineralizing environment and highlighted the potential of the belt. At the 6120 and 6920 prospects calcareous horizons have been extensively replaced by skarn mineralization, including massive pyrrhotite with chalcopyrite and sphalerite. High gold values are present at both of these prospects with grades of several grams in specific samples. Both prospects occur on the flank of a Tertiary intrusive body. The focus of the Company's 2008 BMP program is to define drill targets to test the size and continuity of these large skarn systems.
