The following table shows the most recent significant intercepts drilled on the project for which assay results have not been previously released and there are 9 core holes drilled for which assay results are still pending. Sample intervals are calculated using 0.5 grams per tonne (gpt) lower cut off for gold with no internal waste less than cutoff grade that is greater than 3 meters in thickness. Intercepts shown are drill intercept lengths. True width of mineralization is unknown.

The data below includes 21 new drill holes from TET16274 and TET16301 and their locations are shown on the accompanying base map:
