At a 1.5 g/t gold grade resource cut-off, this reflects a 32% increase in combined Measured and Indicated categories gold ounces and a 19% increase in Inferred category gold ounces relative to the previous estimate disclosed in 2009. This largely reflects the influence of 69 surface diamond drill holes completed subsequent to the 2009 estimate.

Mineral Resource Estimate Methodology

The mineral resource estimate by Mercator is based on validated results of 272 surface drill holes, including 69 completed since the previous resource estimate (please refer to Orex's news release of August 4, 2009), and 119 underground drill holes, for a total of 66,743 metres of diamond drilling.

The drilling-defined deposit was divided into three spatial domains for modeling purposes, these being the Boston Richardson Zone, the West Goldbrook Zone and the East Goldbrook Zone. Modeling was performed using Gemcom Surpac® 6.3.1 modeling software with gold grades estimated for Inferred and Indicated category resources using inverse distance squared (ID2) interpolation methodology and capped, 1.0 metre down hole assay composites. Ellipsoid ranges were developed through assessment of assay composite variography and a series of ellipsoid orientations were applied to accommodate opposing limbs of the anticline. Block grades for all resources were based on capped, contributing 1 metre down-hole assay composites constrained to a minimum of 1 and a maximum of 9, with no more than 3 composites allowed from a single drill hole. Block size was 5m (x) by 5m (y) by 5m (z) with two units of standard sub-blocking allowed. Assay composites capped at 120g/t were interpolated in a restricted first pass (55m major axis range) and composites capped at 80g/t were interpolated in the second pass (110m major axis range). A specific gravity of 2.70 g/cm3 was applied to all resource blocks. Grade within a "Metallurgical Bulk Composite" solid was interpolated using Nearest Neighbour methodology and capped metallurgical testing results from 23 HQ-size surface drill holes completed in 2005.

Measured resources are defined as all interpolated blocks within the Metallurgical Bulk Composite solid. Indicated resources are defined as all other interpolated blocks with at least 7 contributing assay composites having a maximum average distance of 50 metres from the block centroid. Inferred resources are defined as all remaining interpolated blocks that occur within the various wire framed belt model solids. All blocks intersecting underground development and stoping solid models were removed from the estimate.
