Andash Zone 2 and 3

ANDASH PROJECT

Explored by adits

30 diamond drill holes

Located 1 km west of Andash Zone 1

Exploration target of 5 to 10 mt of ore @ 1 to 1.5 g/t gold*

Potential to increase Andash mine life to 10 yrs +

* The potential quantity and grade of the Exploration Target are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource. It is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.
