Carolin Mines Ltdsaid recent assays of tailings at its Hope, British Columbia
mine ranged from 0.50 to 0.64 ounces of gold per ton. 
    There were only trace amounts of platinum and palladium,
the company said.
    Carolin said the results sharply disagreed with an earlier
assay performed by Intergold U.S.A. Inc which showed 1.0 ounce
of gold per ton and 0.50 ounce of platinum per ton.
    Carolin also said it expects to receive results of further
tests and assays of the tailings within two to three weeks.
