The operator of theprevious drillingon the Senneville Claim Group conducted in 2012 was present at the drill site and confirmed that the mineralization encountered in the current drill program was the same as inSV-12-01 which returned9.79gpt. /1.0m Au(ref: GM68366) and SV-12-03 which returned11.03gpt /1m Au(ref: GM68366). The current drilling covered approximately361 meters along strikealso encountered the same mineralization in all three holes. Other areas of the Senneville Claim Group have not been systematically explored for gold as the focus of historical work was largely on the VMS (volcanogenic massive sulfide ore deposits) potential.

 

James Hirst, CEO of the Company stated, “The first 3 of 9 holes have been completed and the geologists are pleased with the progress. The next 6 drill holes will continue to test the strike length and extend it further. The systematic approach and compilationefforts over the last year are truly paying dividends as the more work we put into the Senneville Claim Group the more understanding we have, and the more accreditive are the Claims.”
