This mineral resource is derived from 60 diamond drill holes and 80 RC drill holes consisting of the validated (Micon, 2004) historic resource produced by Kinross Gold in 1999 (96 core and RC holes), Canden Capital, 2002 (5 core holes), Beartooth Platinum, 2004 (4 core holes), and 2009-2010 drilling by Premium Exploration USA (35 core holes). The average drill hole spacing is 25 m within the area of interest and a total of 4911 composites of 3 m length capped at 34 g/t Au were employed in this estimate.

With 7 holes in Phase 1, 6 holes in Phase 2 and 24 holes in Phase 3 , which holes could not be used in the current resource estimate? If PFR2010_25 was used, would the resource beyond the Kinross be included?

The estimates were performed on material with similar geologic, alteration, and mineralogical characteristics. A search ellipsoid of 91 m X 73 m 32 m was utilized for grade interpolation into 20 m X 20 m X 10 m blocks.
