1. Interval lengths are not true widths. Composite intersections are based on a minimum width of 2m and a cut-off of 0.4g/t gold. Internal dilution of up to 2.00m at less than 0.4g/t has been allowed for continuity.2. Aggregated composite intersections in which internal dilution of greater than 2.00m at less than 0.4g/t has been allowed for continuity.3. All samples with visible gold or returning greater than 10g/t are being re-assayed by 500g Metallic Screen Fire Assay (MSFA). Where MSFA is available, this has been used in the calculation of the intersection rather than the original 50g Fire Assay, regardless of whether the MSFA is higher or lower than the original 50g Fire Assay.4. No intersection greater than 2m. Best intersection in hole shown for completeness.5. Intersection in waste at top of hole.
