Drilling results at Cabo's Electrum Lake and Hope Lake properties - Technical reports filed

Electrum Lake Property Results

North Vancouver, BC – Cabo Mining Enterprises Corp. (“Cabo” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: CBE) announces completion of an eight hole drilling program on its Electrum Lake gold property west of Kenora on the Ontario-Manitoba border. The 957.85 metre program followed up a two hole program in 2004 and tested four known gold targets on the 8 km long claim group. The best intersection was from a silicified shear zone with associated sulphides where core returned 8.95 g/t Au over 0.9 m. The program was carried out under the supervision of Seymour M. Sears, PGeo, Vice-President of Exploration, a qualified person under national policy 43-101 and is the subject of a technical report by James G. Burns, BSc PEng filed today with SEDAR (the “Electrum Lake Report”). A total of 256 core samples (including standards and blanks used for quality control) were assayed.

A summary of results is presented in Table 1 below.

Prospecting and drilling programs during 2004 and 2005 have confirmed the presence of four of the numerous prospects previously reported on the Electrum Lake and identified one other area that warrants further exploration. The best mineralization from two 2004 holes designed to test a quartz vein zone located in the eastern part of the claim group (the Arsenic Zone) was a 16.8 metre wide zone in Hole CEL-01 that assayed 1.02 g/t Au. This included two encouraging narrower intersections - 6.26 g/t Au over 0.7 m and 5.59 g/t Au over 0.9 m. Another intersection, lower in the hole, returned 6.75 g/t Au over 0.7 m.

The Electrum Lake Report recommends: a systematic exploration program on selected target areas and a two phased work program including: linecutting, geological mapping, soil sampling, ground magnetometer and IP surveys. Further diamond drilling is also proposed.

Hope Lake Property Results

The Company also announces completion of the 2005 exploration program at its Hope Lake property, located 65 km southeast of Kenora, Ontario in the Lobstick Bay Map Area. A nine hole drill program followed up on stripping and geological mapping work done in the spring of 2005 on the 109 unit, 1,744 hectare property. The 1,050 metre program was designed as an initial test of several known gold occurrences in the northern part of the claim group.

Field spotting of drill holes, core logging and drill supervision were completed by personnel under the direction of Seymour Sears, P.Geo. The program is the subject of a technical report by James G. Burns, BSc PEng also filed today with SEDAR (the “Hope Lake Report”). Samples were selected based on the abundance of sulphides or unusual mineralogy. Intervals that did not contain readily apparent, or only sparse, mineralization, but that were otherwise extensively altered (sericitized, silicified); fractured or sheared, were also sampled. A summary of results is presented in Table 2 below.

Numerous carbonate altered zones with associated quartz-carbonate veining, silification, sulphides and gold mineralization have been identified on the Hope Lake property. None have been adequately drill tested. The property is underlain by a sequence of pillowed and massive mafic volcanics locally cut by felsic to ultramafic intrusive rocks. The general trend of the geological units is 045° due to faulting and folding, and on the southeast side due to the intrusion of the Hope Lake Granitic Pluton. Both the historical data and the Cabo exploration programs suggest that gold mineralization on the Hope Lake property is associated with quartz veining, silicified zones and sericitized shear zones, and that these zones may be related to intersecting structural and lithologic units. These zones may have complex geometry and require careful geological understanding and detailed exploration.

The Hope Lake Report recommends a two phase work program designed to evaluate the entire Hope Lake property. Phase I would include: a grid controlled geological mapping and rock sampling program across the entire property; a magnetometer / VLFem survey over the property; and in areas identified as prospective for gold mineralization, a soil geochemical survey, as well as stripping of outcrop to further define drill targets.

Phase II, core drilling is recommended to properly investigate the orientation and continuity of the known gold prospects, and to test targets identified by the Phase I program. As such, Phase II is only partially dependent upon the results for Phase I. Zones tested will need detailed drilling with close spaced holes. At least 3000 m of drilling should provide a reasonable initial testing of the highest priority targets. The assays reported in this press release were completed by Accurassay Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario.
