BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Sidney Resources Corporation (OTC:SDRC) (SDRC) today announces the results of Assays on Gold and Silver channel samples. ASSAY RESULTS TEST FOR: Gold Silver METHOD USED: FIRE FIRE ASSAY ASSAY RESULTS IN: oz/ton oz/ton 5-17-04 #2 .024 11.58 5-17-04 #4 .118 29.48 5-17-04 #9 .054 20.65 5-17-04 #10 .012 7.22 5-17-04 #15 .011 6.04 5-17-04 #17 .003 10.75 5-17-04 #1x .515 5.10 5-19-04 #1 .534 45.37 5-19-04 #2 .696 32.65 5-19-04 #5 .379 8.12 5-19-04 #6 .228 10.31 5-19-04 #7 .185 1.52 5-19-04 #8 1.866 8.43 5-19-04 #9 .502 3.40 SDRC has engaged an underground mining contractor to collar a new portal 225 vertical feet below the old workings at the Lucky Ben Mine, run a cross cut 70' to the vein and drift mine to the east on the vein. As this development mining progresses, mineralized zones will be identified and production mining started. Ore will be sampled, assayed and weighed. That ore will be stockpiled for processing next year. The value of that ore will be added to the balance sheet as an asset. SDRC estimates costs of mining and milling ore under $190.00 per ton with an average grade of .97 oz gold per ton. Economic grades of silver and cobalt are present. Lower grade development ore as it occurs will also be processed to help offset costs. An additional 200 vertical feet minimum of ore below the new level and accessed from underground will be developed later, adding appreciably to the mine life. To the east of the old workings we have 4,500 lineal feet of claims for additional development and production. The adjacent Arlise high grade silver mine is also accessible from the new lower elevation drift and is an additional mineral resource. In addition, SDRC has completed the on site road infrastructure to the old adit as well as the new adit face, landing, and surface work area. We continue on site to develop the road 1,200' to the east and just north of and parallel to the vein at the surface. A new 247' access road, which is a level grade, culvert, and 265' of improvements to an existing road, will be completed in October 2005. We still have access via the existing road. This new road allows earlier spring and later fall access and year around operations are still a good probability for this year. About Sidney Resources Sidney Mining Co (SMC) was formed in 1896, incorporated in 1910, and merged with a sister company Sidney Resources Corp. (SDRC) effective 3/4/03. After evaluating numerous historic precious metals properties that were once in production; SDRC entered into a long term lease of the patented Lucky Ben Mine, 41 miles north of McCall, Idaho in the Warren Mining District which was discovered in 1862. The Warren Mining District has been considered to be one of the most prolific in Idaho. The common stock is traded on the OTC-Pink Sheets under the symbol SDRC. SDRC is currently debt free and intends to remain that way by pursuing major funding for total mine and mill development through an additional equity offering. SDRC does not use cyanide heap leaching or mercury amalgamation. All mine and mill water is captured and re- circulated. Mill tailings are mixed with cement and used to back fill mined areas. This minimizes environmental impact, stabilizes the mine and is most cost effective.
