To date, 3200 meters of tunnel boring of the 3750 meter contract with Micro Tunnels has been completed. This first phase of drilling has been designed to confirm the drilling result originally completed by Mount Isa Mines (MIM) in 1997-98. Mr. Kugler said today that USPR has now confirmed those results and, in the process, discovered additional reserves. The second phase of drilling will be directed at exploring areas that have been targeted by the geology staff based on surface assays and field mapping.

The La Sabila project was originally discovered in 1995 by Esperanza Del Oro. MIM, which is part of the international mining company, Xstrata Mining Company, evaluated and completed some drilling on the property in 1997-98. Geologist, Dr. Gerald Harper, completed a NI43-101 on the surface geology and the oxide mineralization in 2003. Michael Floersch, CEO of Applied Minerals, a "Qualified Person," recently completed a preliminary NI43-101 on the ore reserves, the result of the drilling campaign completed thus far by USPR. Mr. Floersch has followed the drilling program since February, initiated the "chain of custody" procedure for the core from the drill site to the assayer in Kellogg, Idaho, worked closely with the geology staff in drill hole strategy, observed core logging and processing procedures and maintained a close working relationship with all parties to ensure quality control in the drilling campaign.

In other USPR news, the general construction of the metallurgical and chemistry laboratory has been completed. Mr. Carlos Becerra has been hired to oversee the assay and metallurgical laboratory. Mr. Becerra has approximately 20 years of experience in the Mexican mining industry and has worked at several large mining projects during his career. These mining projects include Santa Gertrudis, Las Animas, Cerro Dolores and El Chanate. In addition, Mr. Becerra will be responsible for the project's compliance with the environmental permitting requirements under Mexican law. Mr. Becerra is a welcome addition to the USPR's technical staff.
