The JV has defined a coincident gold and arsenic soil anomaly which spans 6.5 kilometers in length and ranges from 300 to 1200 meters in width.  The anomaly is defined by soils with greater than 100 ppm arsenic and greater than 20 ppb gold. Individual soil samples within this area are as high as 2809 ppb (2.81 grams per tonne gold) and 58652 ppm (5.87 percent) arsenic.  On-site XRF analysis of detailed infill grid samples has defined a greater than 1000 ppm arsenic core to the anomaly that is 1.5 kilometers in length and 500 meters in width. Gold assays for over 1600 infill soil grid and rock chip samples are pending.  Seven mineralized grab samples from initial prospecting within the 1000 ppm arsenic core anomaly area range from 2.01 grams per tonne gold to greater than 10 grams per tonne gold, with an average grade of 5.21 grams per tonne gold.  The core of the soil anomaly correlates with a zone of altered and heavily fractured rhyolite dikes that are commonly associated with quartz-arsenopyrite veining.  Dikes within the zone average 35 to 50 meters in width and are located near the outer edge of a contact metamorphic aureole, approximately one kilometer outboard of a Cretaceous-age quartz monzonite stock.
