(the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the successful completion of the 2012 exploration drilling and geophysical program on its 100% owned Shotgun Gold Project in Alaska. The 30-day exploration program included 814 metres of drilling in three holes. The geological features observed in the drill core confirm down-dip and along strike extensions of feeder zones discovered in earlier drilling campaign.\n\n\n \nGeophysical surveys that helped to identify the feeder zones were expanded along the ridge and elsewhere within the property during the 2012 work program to guide future drilling.\n\n\n \nDrill Program Highlights\n\n\n \nThree drill holes totalling 814 metres were completed on the Shotgun Ridge prospect. The drilling was designed to extend the mineralized feeder zones identified in drill hole 06-43 down-dip and along strike. Diamond drill hole 06-43 intersected 210 metres grading 1.3 g/t Au (grams per tonne gold). Higher-grade intervals, within this zone defined the position of structurally controlled feeder zones. The geology, sulphide mineralization and structural features encountered in the 2012 drilling are similar to that found in 06-43. Geochemical assay results are pending.\n\n\n \nThe feeder zone associated with the higher-grade assays in hole 06-43 was intersected in all three drill holes providing the Company with greater confidence in extending this zone along strike and to depth with further drilling.\n\n\n \n\"It is encouraging that we see continuity of the intrusive breccia in all three 2012 drill holes. DDH 12-57 was drilled approximately 50 metres NW of 06-43 and both 12-58 and 12-59 were collared approximately 30 metres behind 06-43, intersecting the targeted zone as much as 100 metres down-dip. These results confirm that the structural feature believed to host some of the better mineralization at Shotgun Ridge is continuous over some distance and correlates well with the ongoing interpretations of the geophysics thus is clearly open at depth.\" comments John Harrop, VP Exploration\n\n\n \nGeophysical anomalies that were interpreted as structural corridors hosting mineralization in the 2011 three-dimensional IP/resistivi...
