This drilling program is part of the Option Agreement that was recently signed

drilling campaign in two phases. According to the 'Option Agreement',
exploration work commitment expenditures of $450,000 has to be finalized before
the end of December, 2013.


First phase consists of 3 drill holes of about 750 to 800 meters deep each that
will be located near the discovery hole PE-2013-03 made by Amex earlier this
year. As a reminder, this  hole returned an overall grade of 2.19 g/t Au over a
core length of 41.4 meters on a first of two zones, including a higher grade sub
section of 3.84 g/t Au over 15.2 meters. 


The first drill hole of this new phase of drilling is currently underway. After
completion, down hole geophysics will be done to help for the location for the
second and third drill holes to be done before the end of September. October

for the planning of the second phase drilling. Second phase will consist of
additional drill holes to follow-up on the compilation work and to restart
drilling by early November 2013.
