Note: AuEQ (Au Equivalent) calculated at US $800 per oz Au and $2.00 per lb
for Cu and $20 per oz for Ag: AuEQ = Au + (Cu x 22.05 x 2.00 / 800 x
31.1035) + (Ag x 20 / 800)
Hole AT-11-01 has increased from an overall mineralized core
section from 408m at 0.59 g/t AuEq to 489m at 0.57 g/t AuEq along
with one section between 394m to 447m (53m) being re-assayed as
part of the Company's QA/QC procedures. The re-assaying marginally
increased the grade of this interval from 53m at 2.44 g/t AuEq to
53m at 2.48 g/t AuEq.
Holes AT-11-04 and 05 were drilled to test near surface
anomalies in the main zone as identified from surface and down hole
geophysics. Hole AT-11-06 was drilled north to south into an
untested area to the south west of the Main Zone. Hole AT-11-07 was
drilled south to north through the Main Zone and into the Footwall
Zone. Assays are pending on core from Holes AT-11-08, 09 and 10
which were drilled through the Main Zone with the Footwall Zone
("FWZ") as the main target to further test the FWZ to the
north.
All of the above noted and tabled intercepts are not true
widths. Further drilling and analysis is required to establish the
true widths of these intercepts.
