The true width of the mineralized sections has not yet been determined.

Strateco plans to carry out 60,000 metres of surface drilling peryear in 2010 and 2011, in parallel with underground exploration work.The results of the surface drilling program should allow the maximumcapacity of the Matoush ore processing plant to be established.
