These planning maps show the evaluation of the historical conventional geochemistry and mobile metal ion (MMI) geochemistry as well as the proposed airborne flight path. As stated by the Company Geoscientist, Stephen Wetherup, "the MMI does confirm the old conventional geochemistry and gives the Company the ability to more accurately select drill targets for its drill programs".
The survey commenced on February 13, 2011 on the Gold Creek block of mineral tenures and the entire survey as shown on the planning map is expected to be completed in two or three weeks depending on weather conditions. Results of the survey will be available to the Company on a daily bases.
