See Figure 1. Of the fifteen-reverse circulation (RC) holes drilled, there was an average TREO value 24% higher than that of the Company’s previous JORC resource estimate3 (3,309 ppm TREO). Nine of the fifteen RC holes exhibit an average TREO value of greater than 4,000 ppm, utilizing a cutoff value of 1,500 ppm. The addition of the final RC assays will be a significant contribution to upgrading the Company’s current 1.43 billion tonne JORC resource. The fence diagrams presented herein illustrate the homogenous nature of the deposit which lends itself to low-cost, near-zero strip ratio mining operations. See Figure 2.
