Please note that all reported intersections are down-hole widths as true widths cannot be determined from the currently available information. The Gömeç project comprises five contiguous exploration licenses and is an early-stage gold exploration project located in the hinterland of Balıkesir province. Gold extends discontinuously over an approximately 10km long, northeast trending ridge comprised of Oligocene age volcanic and intrusive rocks. Gold mineralization is dominantly disseminated low-sulfidation epithermal in style and appears to be both stratabound and structurally controlled.In late 2014 the Company conducted an exploratory reverse circulation drilling program at the Gömeç project, notable results from that program included GRC-014, 76 meters at 1.0g/t (including 24 meters at 2.0g/t gold and 18.7g/t silver), GRC-013, 56 meters at 1.0g/t (including 22 meters at 2.0g/t gold and 15.6g/t silver) and GRC-015, 40 meters at 1.0g/t gold in contiguous drill holes located 100 meters away from each other. A follow-up reverse circulation drilling program commenced on June 14 this year. Results from the first three drill holes of this program (GRC 021, 022 and 023) were press released on July 15 this year and included 118.0 meters at 1.0 g/t gold (open at depth); including 22.0 meters at 3.9 g/t gold and 21 g/t silver.Results from the next four drill holes have now been returned (see Table 1 and Figure 1) with significant (greater than 1g/t) intersections as follows: GRC-024 10.0m at 1.0 g/t gold GRC-025 14.0m at 1.0 g/t gold GRC-026 22.0m at 1.0 g/t gold; and 10.5 g/t silver GRC-027 52.0m at 1.0 g/t gold; and 10.8 g/t silver A notable characteristic of drilling results at Gömeç are the long low grade intersections which host the greater than 1 gram per tonne ...
