Brewery Creek Project Update
The Company completed 35 additional core holes for 5,427 m and 31 additional RC holes for 3,550 m at Brewery Creek in October. To date in 2011, the Company has completed more than 290 drill holes at Brewery Creek, totalling over 45,000 m. Drilling has been concentrated on delineating the two 2011 discoveries at the Bohemian-Schooner and Sleeman Zones, with significant additional drilling on the North Slope and Classic Zones, as well as the newly identified Ice Fog Zone. Results are still pending for over 100 core and RC holes. Year-round drilling continues at Brewery Creek, with 2 core rigs and one RC rig presently operating on site. Resource modeling in support of an updated resource estimate is well underway.
North Slope Zone Geology
The North Slope area lies approximately 1 km northwest of the Reserve-trend deposits which were historically mined at Brewery Creek. It is parallel and structurally similar to those deposits but occupies a different (lower) part of the stratigraphic section. Gold mineralization at North Slope is hosted in altered quartz monzonite sills and adjacent siltstones.
Sampling Methodology, Quality Control and Assurance
Samples were fire assayed for gold by ALS Chemex and ACME Laboratories in Vancouver. All assays are reported as drilled intervals and are not to be interpreted as true widths. Refer to the Company’s news release dated October 27, 2011 for a complete discussion of sampling methods, quality control and assurance.
