"Noront completed a 1,119 meter ramp in 2008, including 32.5 meters of drifting in the F-11 Gold Zone and 102 meters of drifting in the F-17 Gold Zone. Muck samples at the F-11 Gold Zone have averaged 3.95 g/t gold whereas muck samples over a 20 meter length of the F-17 Gold Zone averaged 2.34 g/t gold. Due to the free gold nature of the mineralization, a bulk sample will be necessary to determine the true grades of the F-11 and F-17 Gold Zones."
