The underground development of the Hawkins Hill – Reward deposit...

The underground development of the Hawkins Hill – Reward deposit has identified many
areas where gold resources are likely to be extended by drilling and further development.
A 5,000 metre underground diamond drilling program is commencing this week to drill out
the Central strike gap between the old high grade workings of Hawkins Hill and the extent of
surface drill coverage in the Reward area. This 250 metre ‘gap’ is in the Patriarch and
Cornelian sections of the deposit, where previous mining ceased in the late 19th century and
where we have had tremendous success in the Mica vein set at the 640 level.
The drilling program is designed to provide intersections for most of the known vein sets on
approximately 25m x 15m centres between the 640 level and 725 level.
It is expected that the drilling program will significantly extend the resources of the Hawkins
Hill – Reward deposit from the current 160,000 tonnes at 17g/t.
