A core drill had\nbecome available from a nearby project enabling the Company to\ncomplete a short program before it was committed elsewhere.\n \n \n \n \n Core hole PC22-94 was drilled 50 metres north of the\nmineralized intercept encountered in hole PC22-90, which intersected\n8.02 metres at 7.5 grams per tonne (gpt) gold (Au) and 29.07 gpt\nsilver (Ag) within a total mineralized intercept of 31.0 metres at\n2.38 gpt Au and 10.58 gpt Ag.  Hole PC22-94 intersected the\nmineralized zone high in the hole from 32 to 84 metres depth.  The\nupper hanging wall (“HW”) vein breccia was intersected at 32.5\nmetres depth.  Visible gold was present in the form of fine wires on\nfractures at a depth of 47.5 metres.\n \n \n \n \n Core hole PC22-95 was drilled from the same pad as hole\nPC22-95 but oriented south to intersect the mineralized zone at a\ngreater depth than in PC22-94  It intersected the target from 71 to\n122 metres.  The upper HW vein breccia was intersected at 84.1 metres\ndepth and the lower footwall (“FW”) vein breccia was intersected\nat 98.8 metres. The FW vein breccia was 6.1 metres thick and consisted\nprimarily of yellow quartz clasts in a variably banded and bladed\ncalcite matrix. Minor visible gold was identified in some of the\nyellow quartz clasts.  The balance of the mineralized intercept is\ncomposed of quartz and calcite stockwork in rhyolite breccia.\n \n \n \n \n Core hole PC22-96, a vertical hole, was collared 225\nmetres north of holes PC22-94 and PC22-95 to test the mineralized\nstructure below a  1981 Meridian Gold reverse circulation drill hole.\n The new hole intersected strong to intense stockwork quartz with\nminor calcite from 38.4 metres to 91.8 metres, mo...
