The total meters drilled during this program amounted to 1,865m.  The results of the individual hole depths declared, reinforce the Company’s belief and expectation of volume of tailings contained at the tailings storage facility. For details of hole depth refer to Table 1 found in Appendix B.

The Company collected samples for assay throughout the drill campaign. A total of 1,261 samples were taken during the program.
