(i)Core length

Following the confirmation of this extension, the upcoming drilling will focus on both sides of this structure between level 8 and 10, and below level 10. A longitudinal figure is available at the following link: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/1040369a_fig1.jpg.

The true width is between 80 and 95% of the core length obtained in diamond drill holes. The cap-off grade used in the analysis is 31 g/t or 1 oz Au. The company utilizes a rigorous, industry-standard, QA/QC program. The samples were assayed by fire-assay at the Metanor assay lab. Blanks, duplicates and certified reference standards are inserted into the sample stream to monitor laboratory performance. The quality control program of the assay results (QA QC) adopted by Metanor includes a minimum of 10% of controlled assays being conducted as well as verification by an independent ALS-certified assay laboratory in Val d'Or, Quebec. Results of the spot checks were consistent with those reported.
