The above drill holes are from the Maybrun Main open pit zone
and have been drilled as part of the Company's efforts to delineate
and confirm further Indicated resources within the Maybrun Zone as
part of the recommended work program outlined in the Company's
August 16, 2010 Preliminary Scoping
Study. Further assay results from this drilling are pending.
In addition, the Company is initiating a down hole geophysical
program. The main purpose of this program is to primarily test for
drill targets and anomalies around or below previously announced
holes AT-10-01 and 24 (January 5,
2011) which both intersected between 155m and up to 183m of
intermittent gold and copper mineralization, in the New Footwall
Zone, within the local country rock (andesites) below the Main
Maybrun open pit zone. It is presently postulated that this New
Footwall zone may be nearing an important structural feature that
may be distal to, and potentially connected with, the above
Footwall mineralization and Maybrun open pit zones.
All of the above drill intercepts are approximate true widths.
The stated AuEq herein are head grades and do not include
metallurgical recovery rates or net smelter returns. Assaying for
the above drill core was completed by AGAT Laboratories of
Mississauga, Ontario.
