The Company is targeting 16 to 17 holes to be drilled in the campaign. The drilling is primarily infill drilling and the holes have been selected to maximize the potential conversion of inferred resources to measured and indicated resources. The drilling program will also provide the core samples needed to complete the remaining rock mechanic and metallurgical test work required for the completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study.

The drilling will be performed by Boart Longyear and Major Drilling, two of the premier drilling companies in the world.

The commencement and completion of the drilling program is a critical step towards completion of a Definitive Feasibility Study, and the Company is on track to release an updated 43-101 resource report by the end of 2013.

On behalf of the Board of Directors,

Damon G. Barber
President and Chief Executive Officer
