Note: AuEQ(Au Equivalent)calculated using US$800/oz for Au and $2.00 per
lb for Cu: AuEQ (equal sign) Cu+(Cu(x)22.05(x)2.00/800(x)31.1035)

The above drill holes are from the Maybrun Main open pit zone and have been
drilled as part of the Company's efforts to delineate and confirm further
Indicated resources within the Maybrun Zone as part of the recommended work
program outlined in the Company's August 16, 2010 Preliminary Scoping Study.
Further assay results from this drilling are pending.

In addition, the Company is initiating a down hole geophysical
program. The main purpose of this program is to primarily test for
drill targets and anomalies around or below previously announced
holes AT-10-01 and 24 (January 5, 2011) which both intersected
between 155m and up to 183m of intermittent gold and copper
mineralization, in the New Footwall Zone, within the local country
rock (andesites) below the Main Maybrun open pit zone. It is
presently postulated that this New Footwall zone may be nearing an
important structural feature that may be distal to, and potentially
connected with, the above Footwall mineralization and Maybrun open
pit zones.

All of the above drill intercepts are approximate true widths. The
stated AuEq herein are head grades and do not include metallurgical
recovery rates or net smelter returns. Assaying for the above drill
core was completed by AGAT Laboratories of Mississauga, Ontario.
