1000ppb = 1ppm = 1g/t
The majority of the anomalous soils are located along the margins of the magnetic highs defined by the previously completed geophysical survey. Seven of the anomalous results reported above are associated with a linear magnetic high that traverses the central portion of the grid, and contains the 3.32g/t and 53.7g/t gold in rock samples. This linear anomaly extends approximately 1.4kms to the southeast from the 3.32g/t gold in outcrop sample mentioned above. In the case of the 18.2g/t gold sample, this occurs at the southern end of the sampled line, adjacent to a parallel magnetic high that has only been partially delineated.
For the entire soil database the 95th Percentile value is 9ppb, meaning that all values above this are anomalous.
The Company previously reported ( News Release April 24, 2012) Bonanza grade gold values ranged from <0.001 to 53.7g/t and silver values ranged from 0.01g/t to 19.25g/t.
