Terraco Gold Humboldt Range Update

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - June 10, 2014) - Terraco Gold Corp. ("Terraco" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:TEN) is pleased to announce a Humboldt Range update including activity on its Spring Valley Assets.

Terraco Humboldt Range Background
Terraco holds net smelter return ("NSR") royalty assets of up to 3% on claims covering the vast majority of the currently outlined Spring Valley gold deposit. The Spring Valley gold project is operated by Barrick Gold Corp. ("Barrick") and is a joint venture with Midway Gold Corp. ("Midway") whereby Barrick is the 70% partner. Terraco's royalty assets include direct NSR ownership, options to purchase NSR royalties and a right of first refusal to purchase a 1.0% NSR on an area of interest within a half-mile of the core claim block. Terraco's holds its Spring Valley royalty assets and its northerly adjoining 35 km² Moonlight exploration project land holdings within one Nevada domiciled subsidiary (collectively, the "Spring Valley Assets").

Spring Valley Activity - Barrick
Activity on the Spring Valley gold project is continuing aggressively with Barrick advancing the project to a pre-feasibility stage and confirming production potential for the project (see Barrick's April 30, 2014 announcement Barrick Reports First Quarter 2014 Results⁽¹⁾ and Midway's May 16, 2014 announcement, Midway Reports Barrick Advances to Pre-Feasibility Spring Valley Gold Project, Nevada⁽²⁾). In addition, Midway announced that it had received Barrick's 2014 budget regarding the Spring Valley gold project and that it included USD$8,300,000 for project development and USD$5,000,000 for exploration work. The total budget of USD$13,300,000 announced was to advance the project (see Midway's announcement May 16, 2014, Midway Announces Barrick's $13.3 Million Planned 2014 Expenditures for Spring Valley, Nevada⁽²⁾).

Southern Humboldt Range New Entrant - Sumitomo
Regional Southern Humboldt Range activity, in addition to the above noted Spring Valley developments, includes a new entrant along trend adjoining Terraco's Moonlight Project to the North. Renaissance Gold Inc. ("Renaissance") has signed an exploration agreement with Sumitomo Corporation's U.S. subsidiary, Summit Mining Exploration II, Inc., to earn up to a 70% interest in the Fourth of July project that is along strike (to the north) from the Rochester Mine, Barrick's Spring Valley and Terraco's Moonlight Project. Terraco's Moonlight Project now sits between two major mining companies in Barrick and Sumitomo.
"With the completion of Barrick's USD$38,000,000 earn-in on the Spring Valley gold project (in February 2014) and the subsequent announcements made by Midway that Barrick has moved to prefeasibility and is spending USD$13,300,000 in 2014 on the project, we are feeling confident that the Spring Valley gold project will become the mine we had hoped for when we acquired our Spring Valley royalty assets. In addition, there is more activity district wide in the Southern Humboldt trend with other majors like Sumitomo coming into the mix," said President and CEO Todd Hilditch.

Gold discovery at Prospect Valley BC spurs field work

Berkwood Announces 2014 Prospect Valley Gold Property
Field Program Plans

Berkwood Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: BKR) (the “Company” or “Berkwood”) is pleased to announce plans for summer fieldwork on the Prospect Valley Gold Property near Merritt, British Columbia, Canada.

In 2013 geochemical sampling work on the property confirmed the continuity of the main soil anomaly and extended its length to 5000 metres indicating the large extent of the mineralizing system. See the updated geochemistry map below or click here.  To date, several areas of gold mineralization have been identified on the 10,871 Ha Prospect Valley Gold Property.  The majority of historic drilling has taken place in the centre of the claim block, along the Discovery Trend.  This drilling has outlined an extensive low grade epithermal gold system with indications of potential for additional and higher grade mineralization. The system remains open for expansion and other known zones of gold mineralization have yet to be drilled (see Berkwood news release dated January 25, 2012 for details).



The focus of this year’s work will be in preparation for a drill program to test potentially higher grade gold mineralization within the core of the Discovery Trend epithermal system. Although subject to financing, current market conditions have reduced drill contract rates and as such Berkwood feels this drilling can be carried out in a low cost, effective manner. Berkwood field crews will be visiting the property in the coming days to assess the condition of access roads, field equipment, company vehicles and the field base camp.

Brian Buchanan, CEO and Director of the Company states: "We are pleased to be in a position to conduct fieldwork at Prospect Valley. This is an important project in regards to Berkwood’s growth and Management is very optimistic about what this year’s work program could provide, given the large extent of the gold system defined to date.”

George Gorzynski, P.Eng., a Director of Berkwood and a Qualified Person under the definition of Canadian National Instrument 43-101, approved the technical information in this new release and is monitoring the field programs.  

About Berkwood Resources:

Berkwood also holds a 100% interest in the Lac Guéret East Graphite Property, located in northeastern Quebec.  The 3,837 Ha Lac Guéret East Graphite Property consists of 71 claims and is adjacent to the eastern boundary of Mason Graphite’s advanced Lac Guéret Project.

Brigus Gold is on a roll into 2015

If you are looking for a growing, junior gold miner, that makes profit, is growing it's margin, and resource base, while reducing overall costs of production, look no further than Brigus Gold.

In Q3 Brigus produced a record 22,000 oz and is on track to exceed 100,000 oz producion per year for the forseeable future.  Resource base has grown to over 2 million oz. In October drilling at the Black Fox Mine site hit a whopper of a result at 18.09 grams per ton over 39.60 metres, including 39.45 g/t over 10.35 metres. This, in an industry where 3g/t is considered mineable. That result occured only 2 weeks after hitting a previous whopper of  40.71 gpt Gold Over 26.75 Both if these occured at Brigus's producing Black Fox Mine.  At the same time they began hitting great results at thier Grey Fox property as well. Although headquartered in Halifax Nova Scotia, Brigus mines are situated in the Timmons Ontario gold district which has been one of the most prolific gold producing regions of the world for decades.  Brigus is an anomaly in the junior gold space. Why? Because it has a working gold mine, it produces gold, is profitable and it is growing.

Brigus Gold Corp  Today - .70c per share

Market Cap	$167.8M	Beta	0.98
Revenue (TTM)	$144.1M	EPS	$0.10

The underground and open pit cut-off grades were set at 2.84 grams per tonne and 0.72 grams per tonne, respectively. The 147, Contact and Grey Fox South zones remain open for future expansion and drilling continues.
At Grey Fox, Brigus completed an additional 21,458 metres (46 drill holes) of drilling since the June 30th cut-off date and initiated additional metallurgical studies to increase gold recoveries from the 83 percent threshold, as previously reported. Initial results from the ongoing test work have been favourable. The Company is now planning to release a Preliminary Economic Assessment for Grey Fox during the second quarter of 2014.

San Gold Announces High Grade Drill Results at Depth, Nov 4th 2013

San Gold Corporation

TSX : SGR
OTCQX : SGRCF

November 04, 2013 08:00 ET

WINNIPEG, MANITOBA--(Marketwired - Nov. 4, 2013) - San Gold Corporation (TSX:SGR)(OTCQX:SGRCF) today provided updated drilling results from its underground drilling program on 26 Level of the Rice Lake Mine.

Initial results, obtained from the newly established 6140 drill station located approximately 1,170 metres below surface at the eastern extent of the 710 zone, demonstrate robust grades and widths that are accessible from new 26 level development. These zones are located immediately to the hanging wall of the 710 zone and appear to be part of the 007 system at depth. Highlights of this drilling include drill hole 614-13-010 which returned 45.3 g/tonne over 6.1 metres and drill hole 614-13-009 which returned 14.7 g/tonne over 4.1 metres.

The 6140 drill station was established earlier this year in closer proximity to the 710 HW region to follow up on drill hole 613-13-039 which returned 22.5 g/tonne over 4.2 metres and 15.7 g/tonne over 4.1 metres (reported April 24, 2013) and drill hole 607-12-048 which returned 15.1 g/tonne over 11.1 metres (reported November 26, 2012). The Company is planning additional drilling this year to follow up on these results.
"The high-grade region identified in the 710 vein hanging wall represents another important zone discovered as a result of ongoing exploration of the Shoreline Basalt Unit at depth. These results have been obtained within 100 metres of existing infrastructure and can be developed rapidly and with minimal capital expenditure," said Ian Berzins, San Gold's President, CEO and Chief Operating Officer.
Highlights of the preliminary drilling from the 6140 drill station are as follows:

Hole Number		Zone	From (m)	To (m)	Core (m)	Grade† (gpt)	Depth (m)
614-13-009		710 HW	72.2	73.6	1.5	9.5	1173
		710 HW	98.6	102.7	4.1	14.7	1173
614-13-010		710 HW	19.2	21.3	2.1	12.8	1172
		Including	19.5	20.1	0.6	37.0
		710 HW	51.1	57.3	6.1	45.3	1172
		Including	52.1	53.6	1.5	99.1

† Assay values are capped at 102.8 g/tonne (3 oz per ton).

The 710 HW zone is located at the eastern extent of known mineralization at 26 Level of the Rice Lake mine and remains open to the east and northeast. It was identified as part of the Company's ongoing structural analysis to refine the Company's exploration model. This analysis has already yielded numerous new targets within lesser known, near-surface structures (reported September 26, 2013).

Brigus digging up more gold at Black Fox Mine

Brigus Drills 18.09 gpt Gold Over 37.80 Metres & Announces Underground Exploration Program at Black Fox 

 Brigus Gold Corp. ("Brigus" or the "Company") (NYSE MKT: BRD; TSX: BRD) is pleased to report a second high grade gold intersection from underground drilling at Black Fox. Hole 645-34-W assayed 18.09 grams per tonne gold over 37.80 metres, including 39.45 grams per tonne gold over 10.35 metres.

 This 37.80 metre mineralized intercept is from a drill interval of 316.9 to 354.7 metres, and remains open as the last sample at 354.7 metres graded 15.34 grams per tonne gold. Therefore, the full thickness of this high grade intercept is unknown at this time. Hole 645-34-W intersected high grade mineralization 30 metres to the west of hole 645-01-W, which assayed 40.71 grams per tonne gold over 26.75 metres, including 103.20 grams per tonne gold over 8.35 metres. 

In light of these positive results, exploration drilling at the Black Fox mine has recommenced and a third drill hole is now in progress. This phase of exploration will consist of 12 to 15 additional holes to be drilled from underground to further test and define the new zone.

"This thick, high grade gold intersection directly below current mining operations confirms the potential to expand our orebody and add significant ounces to the underground mine at Black Fox," said Wade Dawe, Brigus' Chairman and CEO. "Accordingly, we have increased our 2013 exploration budget and recommenced drilling to further test this zone and we look forward to reporting additional results in the coming weeks. Adding new high-quality gold ounces through exploration is the most direct way of increasing value for our shareholders." 

Orebodies in the region, along the Destor Porcupine Fault, often extend to depths of more than 1,000 metres. The Black Fox orebody remains open for expansion both laterally and at depth.

Brigus Gold reports more high grade drilling results at new Grey Fox site!

Company News Alert

High Grade Drilling Results to Expand the Resource at Grey Fox (bwire)

HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (Business Wire) -- Brigus Gold Corp. (“Brigus” or the “Company”) (NYSE MKT: BRD; TSX: BRD) is pleased to report additional drilling results from its ongoing drill program at the 147 Zone, including high grade gold intercepts of 8.7 grams per tonne over 21 metres and 6.2 grams per tonne over 25 metres. 

“It is clear that the Grey Fox resource is more significant than initially reported,” said Howard Bird, Brigus' Senior Vice President of Exploration. “These high grade drill results are located outside of our current resource estimate and will expand the gold resource on the Grey Fox property.” 

Next quarter, the Company plans to release an updated NI 43-101 resource estimate on the Grey Fox property followed by a full feasibility study in Q3 2013.

Highlights from the 147 Zone which remains open for expansion:

Graphene micro super capacitors will change the world according to UCLA Prof

University of California - Los Angeles

UCLA researchers develop new technique to scale up production of graphene micro-supercapacitors

While the demand for ever-smaller electronic devices has spurred the miniaturization of a variety of technologies, one area has lagged behind in this downsizing revolution: energy-storage units, such as batteries and capacitors.

Now, Richard Kaner, a member of the California NanoSystems Institute at UCLA and a professor of chemistry and biochemistry, and Maher El-Kady, a graduate student in Kaner's laboratory, may have changed the game.

The UCLA researchers have developed a groundbreaking technique that uses a DVD burner to fabricate micro-scale graphene-based supercapacitors — devices that can charge and discharge a hundred to a thousand times faster than standard batteries. These micro-supercapacitors, made from a one-atom–thick layer of graphitic carbon, can be easily manufactured and readily integrated into small devices such as next-generation pacemakers.

The new cost-effective fabrication method, described in a study published this week in the journal Nature Communications, holds promise for the mass production of these supercapacitors, which have the potential to transform electronics and other fields.

"The integration of energy-storage units with electronic circuits is challenging and often limits the miniaturization of the entire system," said Kaner, who is also a professor of materials science and engineering at UCLA's Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science. "This is because the necessary energy-storage components scale down poorly in size and are not well suited to the planar geometries of most integrated fabrication processes."

"Traditional methods for the fabrication of micro-supercapacitors involve labor-intensive lithographic techniques that have proven difficult for building cost-effective devices, thus limiting their commercial application," El-Kady said. "Instead, we used a consumer-grade LightScribe DVD burner to produce graphene micro-supercapacitors over large areas at a fraction of the cost of traditional devices. Using this technique, we have been able to produce more than 100 micro-supercapacitors on a single disc in less than 30 minutes, using inexpensive materials."

The process of miniaturization often relies on flattening technology, making devices thinner and more like a geometric plane that has only two dimensions. In developing their new micro-supercapacitor, Kaner and El-Kady used a two-dimensional sheet of carbon, known as graphene, which only has the thickness of a single atom in the third dimension.

Kaner and El-Kady took advantage of a new structural design during the fabrication. For any supercapacitor to be effective, two separated electrodes have to be positioned so that the available surface area between them is maximized. This allows the supercapacitor to store a greater charge. A previous design stacked the layers of graphene serving as electrodes, like the slices of bread on a sandwich. While this design was functional, however, it was not compatible with integrated circuits.

In their new design, the researchers placed the electrodes side by side using an interdigitated pattern, akin to interwoven fingers. This helped to maximize the accessible surface area available for each of the two electrodes while also reducing the path over which ions in the electrolyte would need to diffuse. As a result, the new supercapacitors have more charge capacity and rate capability than their stacked counterparts.
 Interestingly, the researchers found that by placing more electrodes per unit area, they boosted the micro-supercapacitor's ability to store even more charge.

Kaner and El-Kady were able to fabricate these intricate supercapacitors using an affordable and scalable technique that they had developed earlier. They glued a layer of plastic onto the surface of a DVD and then coated the plastic with a layer of graphite oxide. Then, they simply inserted the coated disc into a commercially available LightScribe optical drive — traditionally used to label DVDs — and took advantage of the drive's own laser to create the interdigitated pattern. The laser scribing is so precise that none of the "interwoven fingers" touch each other, which would short-circuit the supercapacitor.

"To label discs using LightScribe, the surface of the disc is coated with a reactive dye that changes color on exposure to the laser light. Instead of printing on this specialized coating, our approach is to coat the disc with a film of graphite oxide, which then can be directly printed on," Kaner said. "We previously found an unusual photo-thermal effect in which graphite oxide absorbs the laser light and is converted into graphene in a similar fashion to the commercial LightScribe process. With the precision of the laser, the drive renders the computer-designed pattern onto the graphite oxide film to produce the desired graphene circuits."

"The process is straightforward, cost-effective and can be done at home," El-Kady said. "One only needs a DVD burner and graphite oxide dispersion in water, which is commercially available at a moderate cost."
The new micro-supercapacitors are also highly bendable and twistable, making them potentially useful as energy-storage devices in flexible electronics like roll-up displays and TVs, e-paper, and even wearable electronics.

The researchers showed the utility of their new laser-scribed graphene micro-supercapacitor in an all-solid form, which would enable any new device incorporating them to be more easily shaped and flexible. The micro-supercapacitors can also be fabricated directly on a chip using the same technique, making them highly useful for integration into micro-electromechanical systems (MEMS) or complementary metal-oxide-semiconductors (CMOS).

These micro-supercapacitors show excellent cycling stability, an important advantage over micro-batteries, which have shorter lifespans and which could pose a major problem when embedded in permanent structures — such as biomedical implants, active radio-frequency identification tags and embedded micro-sensors — for which no maintenance or replacement is possible.

As they can be directly integrated on-chip, these micro-supercapacitors may help to better extract energy from solar, mechanical and thermal sources and thus make more efficient self-powered systems. They could also be fabricated on the backside of solar cells in both portable devices and rooftop installations to store power generated during the day for use after sundown, helping to provide electricity around the clock when connection to the grid is not possible.

"We are now looking for industry partners to help us mass-produce our graphene micro-supercapacitors," Kaner said

San Gold Provides Update on Rice Lake Activities: Resource Estimation, Mine Development and Production, Guidance and Exploration

WINNIPEG, MANITOBA--(Marketwire - Feb. 8, 2013) - San Gold Corporation (the "Company") (TSX:SGR)(OTCQX:SGRCF) announces an updated mineral resource and mineral reserve estimate, 2012 production results with guidance for 2013 & 2014 and an exploration update for the Company's 100% owned Rice Lake Mining Complex (the "Property") located in Bissett, approximately 235 kilometres northeast of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The Property has a permitted, modern gold mill currently processing ore at a capacity of 2,500 tons per day, as well as modern surface infrastructure, including a licensed tailings management facility and is connected to the Manitoba power grid system.
Highlights

• Proven and Probable mineral reserves of 253,000 ounces, an increase of 21% from March 31, 2012 (an increase of 75% after accounting for mined ounces).
• Measured and Indicated mineral resources of 655,000 ounces, an increase of 17% from March 31, 2012 (an increase of 32% after accounting for mined ounces).
• Highest ever production in 2012 of 86,506 ounces of gold, an increase of 17% over 2011.
• Milling capacity was significantly increased during the year to 2,500 tons per day from 2,000 tons.
• Continued exploration success along the depth extension of the 007 zone that returned 12.6 g/t gold over 6.0 metres and 15.5 g/t gold over 11.1 metres.

Development Outlook for 2013

The objective of the development program, from 2013 onwards, is to increase mine production to match the current mill capacity. Development will take place within the Property in four main areas, on 26 Level, 16 Level, A-Shaft of the Rice Lake mine and within other active mining areas of the 007, Hinge, Cohiba and L13 deposits. (refer to Figures 1&2 on projected timelines)

• On 26 Level of the Rice Lake mine, the Company is driving a 150 metre drift, to begin definition drilling of the 007 deposit, and a 300 metre access drift to allow mining of the 710 deposit. Mining in this region is targeted to begin in early 2014.
  
  
• On 16 Level of the Rice lake mine, the Company is constructing a new A-Shaft ore handling system and 1,200 metres of tracked haulage drifts to access the Hinge district from 720 metres below surface. Development work will continue in 2014 to access the 007 deposit. Mining is targeted to begin in early 2014 in the Hinge district, with operations commencing in the 007 deposit later in the year.
  
  
• A-Shaft is being reconfigured with new ropes, guides, drum, and skips in anticipation of increased production from the 16 and 26 levels. Once complete, A-Shaft is expected to have up to 2,500 tpd capacity from 26 Level and 3,000 tpd capacity from 16 Level.
  
  
• Within the active mining regions, the Company is planning 6,800 metres of development to provide access for mining operations, drill stations, services, and ventilation.
  
  

Once the development is complete, the operations team will have access to multiple faces, which will lead to significantly higher production rates and lower cash costs per ounce.

2012 Preliminary Operating Results
The Company is also pleased to announce highest ever production in 2012 of 86,506 ounces of gold with approximately 16,370 tons of ore remaining in surface stockpiles at year end. Overall, the Company produced 17% more gold in 2012 compared with the 74,280 ounces of gold produced in 2011. Production levels decreased marginally during the fourth quarter and lower than planned grades were realized in several stoping blocks at the 007 mine. Additionally, grades were lower due to an increased focus during the quarter on ore development work.

Gold production was 19,019 ounces during the fourth quarter resulting in gold production of 86,506 ounces for the year. For the quarter, 168,088 tons were milled resulting in a total of 629,279 tons for the year. 171,351 tons were mined during the quarter resulting in a total of 615,142 tons mined for the year. Average feed grade during the quarter was 4.22 grams per tonne gold (0.123 opt) resulting in an average feed grade of approximately 5.07 grams per tonne gold (0.148 opt) for the year. Mill recovery during the quarter was 92.6% resulting in an average recovery of 93.1% for the year.

NOTES TO MINERAL RESOURCE AND MINERAL RESERVE ESTIMATE TABLE:

• Mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates are in accordance with the CIM Definition Standards on Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves adopted by CIM Council, 2010.
• Tonnage and in situ ounce estimates have been rounded to the nearest hundred.
• Proven and probable mineral reserves are included in the measured and indicated mineral resources.
• The mineral reserve estimate is based on a 2.7m (9ft.) minimum mining width, a SG 2.7 to 2.8 (tonnage factor of 11.4 ft3/ton), a gold price of US$1,300 - US$1,500 per ounce (100% exchange) and a 93% mill recovery.
• A 3.55-4.09 g/tonne (0.10-0.12 ounce/ton) cut-off grade has been applied to deposits accessed from the Rice Lake mine shaft, while a 3.00-3.47 g/tonne (0.09-0.10 ounce/ton) cut-off grade has been applied to deposits accessed via the Hinge/007 ramp.
• Assays were capped at 102.9 g/tonne (3.0 ounces/ton) for drill holes and chip samples.
• Inferred mineral resources are not in the current mine plan and therefore do not have demonstrated economic viability.
• The mineral resource and mineral reserve estimate as of December 31, 2012 was prepared under the supervision of Dale Ginn, P.Geo., and Michael Michaud, P.Geo., Qualified Persons within the meaning of National Instrument 43-101.
• The data in this table was prepared by the Company's geology and engineering teams led by: Chief Geologist, Doug Berthelsen (P.Geo); Chief Engineer, Joe Hunter (P.Eng); Senior Resource Geologist, Shawn Horte and Resource Geologist, Jonna Deutscher.

Outlook
The Company is providing preliminary guidance of between 85,000 to 95,000 ounces of gold with cash costs of under $800 an ounce for 2013; 95,000 to 105,000 ounces of gold for 2014 and 105,000 to 115,000 ounces of gold for 2015. The Company continues to focus on its higher margin, near surface mines with minimal production from its Rice Lake mine where development activities are taking precedence. The Rice Lake mine is scheduled to recommence normal production levels in late 2014 to early 2015; when it is expected to become an important contributor to production growth. Historically, the Rice Lake mine has accounted for 20% of overall production. The Company is forecasting annual capital development costs in the range of $45-$55 million for the years 2013 and 2014.
"2013 will mark another significant step forward in the evolution of the Rice Lake Mining Complex by extending operational access beneath the current mining areas at the 007 and Hinge mines, which have combined resources capable of sustaining production for the next ten to fifteen years. This development will provide the drill platforms we need to increase mineral reserves for long-term mine planning and will also provide access for continued exploration of targets located along strike from known deposits at depth. We continue to be excited about the resource potential at depth as recent drill results below 26 Level confirms continuity of the geological structures," said San Gold President and Chief Executive Officer, George Pirie.

2013 Exploration Program
Exploration activities in 2013 will continue to focus on definition and extension at the known zones and exploration drilling at other advanced targets on the mineral lease and in the surrounding Rice Lake area with a planned budget of $17 million that includes approximately 130,000 metres of core drilling. The highlights of the 2013 exploration program are as follows:

• Surface drilling at the Normandy Creek, SG1 and SG3 zones located east of the 007 zone to better define the mineral resource and possible extensions that have the potential to add to the current mineral resource base and provide incremental feed to the mill at some future time;
• Continue to refine geologic model and complete follow-up exploration on recent drill results from the 710 lens of the 007 zone near the 26 level that returned 12.6 g/t gold over 6.0 metres and 15.5 g/t gold over 11.1 metres (see press release dated November, 26, 2012) that indicates that zone extends up and down dip considerable distances and there remains many isolated drill intersections that require follow-up drilling;
• Surface drilling at more conceptual property and regional-scale targets, in particular in areas where east-west trending shear zones intersect more mafic volcanics and gabbroic rocks that are known to host the majority of the gold mineralization at the Rice Lake mine and 007 mine, and where limited drilling has returned anomalous gold values;
• Commence initial regional surveys and first phase of drilling at the recently acquired Atikwa Lake project (recently purchased from Opawica Explorations Inc. - see press release dated June 19, 2012), where 2011 drilling returned 309 metres grading 0.59 g/t gold; and
• Continue to support SGX Resources Inc. (31.5% ownership) that has experienced exploration success at their Timmins South - Edleston Zone (high-grade underground and open pit potential) and Timmins North - Tully Township (established mineral resources and remains open in all directions).

The Company currently has five drills operating at the Rice Lake Mining Complex and will be providing drilling results from these exciting projects throughout the year.

All statements, other than statements of historical fact included in this release, including, without limitation, statements regarding forecast gold production, gold grades, recoveries, cash operating costs, potential mineralization, mineral resources, mineral reserves, exploration results, and future plans and objectives of the Company, are forward-looking statements that involve various risks and uncertainties. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to mining and processing of mined ore, achieving projected recovery rates, anticipated production rates and mine life, operating efficiencies, costs and expenditures, changes in mineral resources and conversion of mineral resources to proven and probable mineral reserves, and other information that is based on forecasts of future operational or financial results, estimates of amounts not yet determinable and assumptions of management.
Any statements that express or involve discussions with respect to predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events or performance (often, but not always, using words or phrases such as "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", "plans", "estimates" or "intends", or stating that certain actions, events or results "may", "could", "would", "might" or "will" be taken, occur or be achieved) are not statements of historical fact and may be "forward-looking statements." Forward-looking statements are subject to a variety of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ from those reflected in the forward-looking statements.
There can be no assurance that forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the Company's expectations include, among others, the actual results of current exploration activities, conclusions of economic evaluations and changes in project parameters as plans continue to be refined as well as future prices of precious metals, as well as those factors discussed in the section entitled "Other MD&A Requirements and Additional Disclosure and Risk Factors" in the Company's most recent quarterly Management's Analysis and Discussion ("MD&A"). Although the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
Exploration results that include geophysics, sampling, and drill results on wide spacings may not be indicative of the occurrence of a mineral deposit. Such results do not provide assurance that further work will establish sufficient grade, continuity, metallurgical characteristics, and economic potential to be classed as a category of mineral resource. A mineral resource that is classified as "inferred" or "indicated" has a great amount of uncertainty as to its existence and economic and legal feasibility. It cannot be assumed that any or part of an "indicated mineral resource" or "inferred mineral resource" will ever be upgraded to a higher category of resource. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of mineral deposits in these categories will ever be converted into proven and probable reserves.
