Three drill holes have been completed to-date with\n assay results currently being available for the first two drill holes,\n representing step-outs of approximately 80 and 150 meters from prior\n drill holes.\n\n\nHighlights of Step-out Drilling\n\n\n\n\nHole_Id\n\n\nFrom\n(m)\n\n\nTo\n(m)\n\n\nInterval\n(m)\n\n\nETW*\n(m)\n\n\nAg\n(g/t)\n\n\nAu\n(g/t)\n\n\nAg Eq**\n(g/t)\n\n\n\n\nSJOM-329\n\n\n271.60\n\n\n273.45\n\n\n1.85\n\n\n1.0\n\n\n1509\n\n\n7.77\n\n\n1924\n\n\n\n\n305.50\n\n\n314.50\n\n\n9.00\n\n\n5.3\n\n\n904\n\n\n8.60\n\n\n1363\n\n\n\n\n329.15\n\n\n342.10\n\n\n12.95\n\n\n7.5\n\n\n402\n\n\n3.42\n\n\n585\n\n\n\n\nSJOM-330\n\n\n346.85\n\n\n347.70\n\n\n0.85\n\n\n0.4\n\n\n500\n\n\n3.46\n\n\n685\n\n\n\n\n386.70\n\n\n396.00\n\n\n9.30\n\n\n4.4\n\n\n288\n\n\n1.76\n\n\n382\n\n\n\n\n402.80\n\n\n411.50\n\n\n8.70\n\n\n4.1\n\n\n347\n\n\n2.48\n\n\n479\n\n\n\n\n\n\n*\n\n\nETW = estimated true width\n\n\n\n\n**\n\n\nAg Eq values calculated at Au:Ag ratio of 53.37 based on metal prices as\n of Dec. 31, 2012 (Au: US$1572.19; Ag: US$29.46) and metallurgical\n recoveries of 89 percent for both Au and Ag\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStep-out drilling of the Trinidad North discovery was initiated in late\n September following the completion of underground access and drill\n stations at the 1300 meter level with two drill rigs currently\n exploring the extension of the mineralized shoot to the north and to\n depth.\n\n\nDr. Thomas I. Vehrs, Vice President of Exploration, commented: \"The\n results of the initial step-out drilling at Trinidad North confirm the\n extension of a robust mineralized system to the north. The mineralized\n zones are characterized by strong development of hydrothermal breccias\n and quartz vein stockworks containing high-grade gold-silver\n mineralization. The system remains open to the north and to depth and\n we eagerly look forward to the results of this exciting program. With\n two drill rigs now operating, we anticipate being able to complete 8\n drill holes by the end of 2013 with results being available by\n mid-January. This drilling will provid...
