The significant intercepts described above and in Table 1 may not be true widths. The true widths cannot be determined
---> at this time due to there only being a single azimuth/dip drill hole per individual setup.

Drill core processing included descriptive logging and sampling for geochemical analyses. The NQ-size drill core was c
--->ut in half using saws at the Company's Lowhee Creek Compound in Wells-Barkerville, central B.C. One-half of the core w
--->as put in a sample bag and the other half replaced in the core box. After samples are placed in rice bags, they are tr
--->ansported by Company personnel to Quesnel, B.C. for trans-shipment to Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. in Vancouver f
--->or analysis. Sample preparation and geochemical assaying is done at Acme, following its own internal standards for qua
--->lity control and verification. The gold assaying method uses both a standard fire assay with AA finish and a metallic 
--->gold assay. Acme is certified under the Assayers Certification Program of B.C.
