Hole AT-10-05 was drilled into the Footwall Zone while the balance of the above holes were infill holes drilled within the open pit of the Maybrun Main Zone Indicated Resource. This infill drilling was recommended in conjunction with the Company's August 16, 2010 Preliminary Scoping Study filed on SEDAR.
Assays are pending on one deep Footwall Zone hole (AT-10-24) and 12 further infill holes from the Maybrun Main open pit zone. Further drilling has been recommended.
The above drill holes are approximately 90% true widths. The AuEq calculations in this release represent head grades and does not include metallurgical recoveries or net smelter returns for gold and copper. All assaying of the above drill core was completed by AGAT Laboratories of Mississauga, Ontario.
