The gold results presented above were produced by fire assay and were completed at three different laboratories: ACME Analytical Laboratory (Vancouver, Canada); SGS Geosol Laboratory (Belo Horizonte, Brazil); and Intertek of Brazil (Belo Horizonte, Brazil). Other elements were analyzed by ICP. Dr. Harrison Cookenboo, PhD, P Geo and a “Qualified Person” as that term is defined in National Instrument 43-101, and coauthor of the report states:

“These highly enriched samples were collected from different parts of the property located up to 15 km apart on strike. Hand trenching has succeeded in exposing undeformed quartz veins in or close to bedrock near the float samples in some of these occurrences, and locally abundant concentrations suggest that other samples are also proximal to source”.

Dr. Cookenboo has reviewed the technical data in this news release and approves the release of technical information described herein.
