The PQ core program targeted measured and indicated category resource blocks containing varying grades and rock types along the main northwest-southeast trend of the project to capture samples for metallurgical and environmental testwork, as well as to further confirm the project resource model.\"We are very pleased with the impressive results of this program. These results confirm the high-grade areas and continuity of mineralization found in the most recent Tonopah resource model. This drilling program achieved its targeted goals of confirming the resource model, while also capturing a full spectrum of samples at varying grades and rock types for upcoming metallurgical and environmental testwork\", stated Mr. James Hesketh, President & CEO.TGM2001 intercepted 59.1 meters averaging 1.31 grams per tonne (\"g/t\") gold and 5.56 g/t silver in a steady sequence of Tertiary Volcanics (\"TV\") and Ordovician Palmetto Argillite (\"OPA\") to depth in the original Discovery zone, which is located in the phase one Starter Pit area.TGM2002 intercepted 37.7 meters averaging 3.35 g/t gold and 14.85 g/t silver, including 8.2 meters at 6.3 g/t gold and 34 g/t silver, entirely in OPA in the original Dauntless zone of the Central Pit area of the project.TGM2003 intercepted sporadic zones of lower grade gold and silver in TV. Drilling on this hole was stopped approximately 100 meters short of its planned depth due to difficult drilling conditions and the hole did not reach a large targeted zone of mineralization at the TV/OPA contact area. This hole is located in the West Pit.TGM2004 intercepted five zones of lower grade mineralization with a cumulative thickness of 39.4 meters averaging 0.53 g/t gold and 1.0 g/t silver in TV in the East Pit area.TGM2005 intercepted 26 meters at 2.83 g/t gold and 6.8 g/t silver, including 4.9 meters at 8.81 g/t gold and 16.03 g/t silver, in TV and 13.1 meters at 1.94 g/t gold a...
