To date, the CJV has advanced the 3.5 m high by 3.5 m wide adit approximately 360 m at a 15% decline

open (Figure 1). Along the 255m length the vein averages approximately 1.5 m in width. The average
grade of the 1.5 m wide zone is approximately 1.5% Copper ranging between 1 and 2.56%. The best
intersects thus far are in hole 7, grading 2.28% Cu over 2.9m and hole 19 grading 2.56% Cu over 1.56m.
Gold assays are still pending.
Pattern drilling will continue along strike from 320-400m down the decline into October and then infill
around the higher- grade intercepts will be conducted for resource estimation and planning.
