Following the confirmation of this extension, the upcoming drilling will focus on both sides of this structure between level 8 and 10, and below level 10. A longitudinal figure is available at the following link: http://media3.marketwire.com/docs/1040369a_fig1.jpg.
The true width is between 80 and 95% of the core length obtained in diamond drill holes. The cap-off grade used in the analysis is 31 g/t or 1 oz Au.
