Currently, just over 35% of the strike length has been stripped.Table 1 - Summary of additional channel sampling---------------------------------------------------------------Channel No. Sample No. Au (g/t) Width (m)---------------------------------------------------------------NE-09 - C211 3387 3.87 0.30---------------------------------------------------------------NE-09 - C220 3429 10.40 0.30---------------------------------------------------------------NE-09 - C222 3435-3437 3.68 1.10---------------------------------------------------------------NE-09 - C223 3444 18.10 0.40---------------------------------------------------------------NE-09 - C224 3447-3448 13.74 0.90---------------------------------------------------------------NE-09 - C225 3452 6.89 0.30---------------------------------------------------------------NE-09 - C233 3483 7.04 0.30---------------------------------------------------------------NE-09 - C234 3485-3486 6.22 0.60---------------------------------------------------------------NE-09 - C247 3540 10.50 0.40---------------------------------------------------------------NE-09 - C252 3560-3561 6.08 0.80---------------------------------------------------------------The first phase of drilling was designed to test and confirm the mineralization as outlined by channel sampling. Several holes over the past month intersected the new mineralization with grades up to 21.10 g/t gold over 0.30 m. or 15.60 g/t gold over 0.60 m. The new zone lies about 240 metres south of the Power Zone and is a similar high-grade, narrow vein structure.Wi...
