Sixteen (16) new mineralized intersections out of thirty (30) had a metal factor (grade x width) of greater than 10.

The best results reported for Zones 124-1 and 124-2 were 59.4 grams of gold per tonne over 7.0 metres in hole CBP-0062 and 16.2 grams of gold per tonne over 4.2 metres in hole CBP-0056, respectively, which indicate high grade trends within the zones, a feature that is similar with Zones 113 and Lower Inter, which contain the bulk of the current mineral reserves.
