Edit this title from the Fast Facts Section
The drill results tabled below are from drilling conducted late in 2010 and early 2011, and are subdivided into two categories: off-section (exploration) drilling and development drilling. The off-section holes are considered very significant as they represent large step-outs from the underground workings and tested the continuity of the orebody in the on-strike and un-tested area east of the underground mine. The intersections below demonstrate the potential to dramatically extend mine life. A second underground drill will be added shortly to accelerate resource/reserve development as the mineralized system remains open to expansion in several directions.
Off-Section (Exploration) Holes
These holes were positioned at the extreme east end of the underground mine and fan out to test the on-strike potential of the approximately 50 gold-mineralized veins being mined. The five widely-spaced holes listed below tested an area 800 metres by 150 metres and infill drilling is planned to establish reserves in this area. None of the intersections from these drill holes were included in the most recently completed resource estimate.

Development Drill Holes
The results tabled below are for holes drilled on systematic 20 metre spacing to guide mining and also to convert measured and indicated resources into mining blocks or reserves. The holes are drilled perpendicular to the vein orientation and the true widths of the intersections average 95% of the intervals stated below.

Sample Protocol and Chain of Custody
In order to minimize the effects of the coarse nugget gold at Bjorkdal, the Company has elected to submit 100% of the core for analysis, rather than retaining half of the core for archive. This provides a much larger sample for gold analysis and theoretically a more representative result. The core is logged and photographed, and for the zones sampled, the entire core is shipped to ALS Chemex for gold analysis. A rigorous QA/QC program is employed that involves the insertion of blanks and certified standards.
