The East Zone drilling program has been completed with approximately 4,600 metres drilled. Table 1 summarizes the results from the latest batch of drill hole assay results and Table 2 (attached) presents a more detailed summary.

Drill holes RVA-01, RVA-04 and DVA-05 were drilled to define the western limits of the East Zone returning intervals and gold grades as anticipated. Drill hole RVA-07 was collared into the North Breccia breccia: see conglomerate.

DVA-11 was drilled along section VC-8 targeting the down dip extension of the mineralization in RCA-010 (176 m grading 1.26 g/t gold starting from surface). DVA-11 cut a large interval of gold mineralization, 74 metres grading 0.81 g/t, including 30 metres grading 0.65 g/t gold and 26 metres grading 1.28 g/t gold. The entire 74 metre occurs within a wider 188 metre interval gold mineralization which, if taken as a whole, would grade 0.54 g/t gold.
