Exploration Update

Since the last exploration update on April 12^th (drill results up to hole #19), we have completed an additional 32 exploration drill holes totaling 781 m. Visual observations from the 32 new holes indicate that 26 encountered the favourable mineralized conglomerate reef, with 14 also containing visible gold. Drilling is currently underway with the remainder of the planned program focusing on areas of high-grade mineralization within 15 meters of surface. The locations of the completed and planned drill holes are shown on Figure 1. The majority of the new holes have been logged, sampled and sent for assay. Turn around time at the assay lab has been slower than anticipated, however final assay results for approximately 10 of the new holes are expected by the end of the week.
