Feb. will be our Valentine "The 40,000 m 2012 drill program is well underway with two drills turning and another drill arriving early February. These initial drill results are very encouraging as we continue to intersect significant down-dip Main Zone mineralization as well as new hanging wall and footwall mineralization. The scheduled Q1 release of the new Leprechaun Gold Deposit Resource Estimate, including the first open pit Resource Estimate for the Valentine Lake Project, will be a major development milestone for the Company and we anticipate that it will further demonstrate the economic viability of this project", said Phillip Walford, President and CEO of Marathon Gold.
