In 2008, Levon and its joint venture partner reached an agreement with Barrick for exploration of the Norma Sass claims.
Thegroup examined the chips and core from Barrick's recently completedhole, NS 09-01 at the Norma Sass property. The group also visited theNS 09-01 drill site.
Hole NS 09-01 was started in earlyOctober and drilled North West at 70 degree dip across a SW-NE strikingfault which trends into Barrick's Gold Acres pit one mile to thenortheast and is thought to be related to mineralization at Gold Acres.
HoleNS 09-01 started as a reverse circulation hole but encountered recoveryproblems at 1,680 foot depth. Barrick brought in a core rig, wedged theRC hole and drilled HQ diameter core to a final depth of 2,586 ft (Anexpensive but effective way of exploring the sequence).
The hole entered the lower plate Wenban limestone at 1,330 foot depth and was bottomed in the Roberts Mountain formation. These are the principal host rock formations for the gold deposits at the Pipeline, Gold Acres andCortez Hillsmines. Assay results will be released once they are received from Barrick.
Barrick Cortez Gold Minessupplied information concerning the Norma Sass property in their 3rdQuarter report and also during the site visit. During the third quarterBarrick Gold staff did extensive geological mapping andgeochemical soil and rock sampling across the property in order todefine locations for drilling.
Levon owns 1/3 and Coral owns 2/3 of the Norma Sass property. (For details please see news release dated September 29, 2009).
