not far from the east end of the Great Bear project in an area that we think may include the easterly extension

of some of the underexplored large-scale structures related to the LP Fault gold mineralization as well as other

regional structures that have gold potential. We are also pleased to see Kinross making good progress on their

initial drilling program on our Dixie Halo project and are looking forward to informing the market as results come

in.”
