A total of 48 additional drill holes have been completed at the site, to an overall depth of 11,828 metres in order to confirm the continuity, grade and thickness of gold mineralisation.

High-grade returns include 80.3 g/t gold over 1.4 metres, 47.5 over 1.2 metres and 24.6 g/t gold over 1.5 metres.

There were also intersects of 20.6 g/t gold over three metres, 22.7 g/t gold over 1.5 metres and 12 g/t gold over 2.5 metres.

In October 2007, mineral resources at Joanna were estimated at 11.3 million tonnes averaging 1.7 g/t gold for a total of 630,000 ounces of gold in indicated resources.

Inferred resources were an additional 28.6 million tonnes averaging 1.6 g/t for 1.42 million ounces of gold.
