Revolution announced in June, 2011 that the initial drill hole at the Jerico Hill prospect has discovered a new zone by intersecting high-grade gold and silver mineralization at surface.  The mineralized intersection started at the base of saprolite (weathered rock) at 28.5 meters depth.  Current drilling is targeting a shallow plunging fold, where saddle-reef style gold/silver/tellurium mineralization occurs associated with quartz veining.

The Jerico Hill target is a newly discovered occurrence of gold and silver rich altered and veined sediments, with no previous known historic exploration or lode production.  The area has been mined for alluvial gold.  During the fall of 2010, Revolution exploration personnel collected eight grab samples from a 20 meter long, 10 meter wide area of outcrop.   Select samples include 6.23 g/t Au and 273 g/t Ag, 4.05 g/t Au and 130 g/t Ag, and 1.76 g/t Au and 898 g/t Ag.  Samples range from trace values, to 6.23 g/t Au and 898 g/t Ag, averaging 1.8 g/t Au and 189.5 g/t Ag.  Drill hole JH11-001 was collared 90 meters west of the discovery outcrop, and drilled at a 45 degree dip angle towards the surface showing.  Current interpretation is that the mineralized zone has a subhorizontal orientation.
 
Mineralization at Jerico Hill is typified by deformed quartz veins within a metavolcanic rock, with disseminated pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite and tellurides within the veins and host rock.
