Quality Assurance – Quality Control
Drill composites were calculated using a cut -o ff o f 0 . 1 5 g / t A u . Drill intersections are reported as drilled thicknesses. True widths of the
mineralized intervals vary between 30% and 100% of the reported lengths due to varying drill hole orientations but are typically in the range of
50% to 90% of true width. Drill samples were assayed by ALS Limited in Reno, Nevada for gold by Fire Assay of a 30 gram (1 assay ton) charge
with an AA finish, or if over 5.0 g/t Au were re-assayed and completed with a gravimetric finish. For these samples, the gravimetric data were
utilized in calculating gold intersections. For any samples assaying over 0.10 parts per million an additional cyanide leach analysis is done where
the sample is treated with a 0.25% NaCN solution and rolled for an hour. An aliquot of the final leach solution is then centrifuged and analyzed
by Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. QA/QC for all drill samples consists of the insertion and continual monitoring of numerous standards and
blanks into the sample stream, and the collection of duplicate samples at random intervals within each batch. All holes are also analyzed for a
51 multi-element geochemical suite by ICP-MS. ALS Geochemistry-Reno is ISO 17025:2005 Accredited, with the Elko and Twin Falls prep lab
listed on the scope of accreditation.
