The last 21.77 metres in TR-04 returned 1.32 g/t Au and 102.47 g/t Ag and the results extend the strong gold-silver mineralization in the Northern Zone to over 400 metres along strike. \nThe newly exposed gold-silver zone in TR-04 is located approximately 400 metres west of trench TR-01 which returned 142 metres of 0.48 g/t Au and 55 g/t Ag and contained an interval of 56 metres returning 1.03 g/t Au and 98.9 g/t Ag (see company press release July 12, 2012). Trench TR-04 was terminated due to deep colluvium cover where the last sample returned 0.53 g/t Au and 81.9 g/t Ag. TR-04 exposed a second mineralized silver rich zone which returned 14.89 metres of 0.16 g/t Au and 85.9 g/t Ag. These results suggest that the northern mineralized zone may consist of two mineralized structures: one gold-silver rich and the other silver rich. \n-***-\n--------------------------------------------------\nTrench #  From m  To m  Interval m  Au g/t  Ag g/t\n--------------------------------------------------\n TR-04    26.48   29.73     3.25     0.03    54.6\n--------------------------------------------------\n TR-04    29.73   31.84     2.11     0.25   192.4\n--------------------------------------------------\n TR-04    31.84   34.90     3.06     0.32   108.4\n--------------------------------------------------\n TR-04    34.90   36.84     1.96     0.16   &#...
