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.
