Message: higher than Yanacocha,s cut off grade

http://www.infomine.com/index/pr/Pa859804.PDF

Here is the news release that talks about the WIDE areas of disseminated/alterations gold. A very interesting release, especially where they mention how our grade is HIGHER than the cut off grade for the Yanacocha mine (one of the largest open pit copper/gold mines in the world.

Recent trenching and sampling has shown that there is a subtle and previously unappreciated

halo of carbonate alteration up to 40 meters wide associated with the low-resistivity geophysical

anomaly adjacent to the C5 Vein at Zona Canchete and adjacent to the A4 Vein at Zona Central,

which are separated by a distance of ±700 meters. Halos of carbonate alteration are common in

mesothermal gold veins (Atlas of Alteration, G.AC., 1996). Samples of the carbonate-alteration

zone (35 three-meter-long channel samples collected to date) are all gold-anomalous (>50 ppb

gold), and include intervals (for example, 9 meters of >500 ppb) that are higher grade than the

cut-off grade of oxide ore at Yanacocha (Newmont, 2008 year-end annual report).
