Duncan Park Holdings has announced plans to resume a programme of drilling on its Rock Creek project in early 2008.

The Toronto-based mineral exploration company is intending to resume its operations during the first quarter of next year in the project, in which it owns a 100 per cent interest, and initial plans call for around 3,000ft of drilling.

Current investigations into financing options for the project could expand the scope of the Rock Creek drilling programme to include more than 10,000ft during the first half of 2008.

Comprising 456 claims, the Rock Creek project along the Northern Nevada Rift is located 30 miles east-northeast of Battle Mountain and hosts high-grade, vein gold properties such as Midas, Ivanhoe and Silver Cloud.

Duncan Park former president, Leonard Taylor, passed away in August 2007 delaying plans to launch additional drilling at Rock Creek in late 2007. Ian McAvity is currently heading up the company as acting president and chief executive officer.

Mineral exploration company Duncan Park has entered into leases on three mineral exploration properties in the Carlin Trend and the Battle Mountain-Eureka Trend in northern Nevada.
