Additional results are listed at end of press release.

The winter 2011 drill program began on January 5th, 2011 was completed on May 2nd, 2011 with 72 diamond drill holes completed (including 3 abandoned drill holes) with a total of 29,756.5 metres drilled. One planned drill hole was not completed due to ground conditions. Core logging and sampling was completed by the end of June.

Similar to the 2010 program, the 2011 program sought to address more than one objective: infill drilling, particularly large gap areas, and exploration drilling. One of the recommendations of the 2009 NI 43-101 report by Watts Griffis and McOuat (WGM) was the infill drilling of numerous drilling gaps, also termed data gaps, within the pit shell area to increase the confidence level of the mineral resources. On Block A, drill spacing of closer than 80 metres is required for the category of inferred resources and closer than 40 metres for indicated resources. The 2010 and 2011 winter program targeted regions with spacing greater than 80 metres within the pit area.A total of 53 drill holes, approximately 76% of the winter 2011 drill program, were drilled on 40 metre by 40 metre centres to increase the confidence level of the mineral resources.
