Several holes have intersected this new zone with grades up to 1,141.54 grams per tonne gold (g/t Au) or 33.33 oz/ton across 2.0 metres (m). In addition, ongoing drilling at the New North ('NN') Zone continues to define higher-grade, underground-style, gold mineralization. Roxmark has a 30% carried interest in the Hardrock Project.High-Grade Intercept--------------------A new structure containing high-grade gold mineralization has recently been identified immediately north of the EP Zone, and in close proximity to existing mine workings. This new intercept is marked by high-grade, narrow vein-style, gold mineralization similar to several of the high-grade mines located in the Beardmore-Geraldton Greenstone Belt, including the Little Long Lac and Magnet Gold Mines located on the Hardrock Project.Hole EP105 has returned one of the highest ever gold results from drilling in the entire district with an intersection of 1,141.54 g/t Au (33.33oz/ton) across 2.0m (6.6 feet) including 2,535 g/t Au (74.02 oz/ton) across 0.9m (3.0 feet). Several additional holes are believed to have intersected this structure, including OR005, located approximately 35 metres down-dip of EP105, which assayed 12.99g/t Au (0.38 oz/ton) across 1.5m (4.9 feet); EP107. located approximately 100 metres along strike to the east and up plunge EP105, with assays pending; EP108, located approximately 150 metres along strike to the east and up-plunge of EP105, with assays pending; EP064, located 50 metres along strike to the west, which assayed 20.10 g/t Au (0.59 oz/ton) over 0.7m (2.3 feet); and OR002, located 50 metres along strike to the west and down plunge, with assays pending. Detailed drilling of this new discovery is now underway.\"Intersecting such high-grade mineralization is always encouraging.\" stated Stephen McGibbon, Premier's Executive VP and COO. \"We know that this camp has a history of high-grade mineralization and an intercept like this can have important implications for us if we can confirm some continuit...
