Significant potential exists for developing resources in several areas including:

Open-pit-style mineralization at sites where historic resources were partially delineated by previous operators, in addition to newly defined mineralization at the Tenacity, EP and Kailey zones; Numerous surface and historic high-grade gold intercepts throughout the large property package that have received little to no follow-up; Historic resource blocks reported to remain within the mine workings, including high-grade vein targets; The main mined zones which remain open below the 600-metre level.

The Hardrock project is operated under a joint venture with Roxmark Mines Ltd. (Premier holds a 70-per-cent interest). ----. The Hardrock project benefits from development advantages with the Trans-Canada Highway, Trans-Canada Pipeline and major power lines running through the centre of the property. (Not unlike Ontex)
