Heap Leaching Strategy:

Completed first phase of heap leaching test pads

Entering construction of heap leach pad test facility for a purpose of quantifying how

much additional gold can be extracted from ore with grades in the 0.2 and 0.9 g/t Au.

By the third quarter of the 2010 calendar year, the objective is to complete heap leach

testing with the first phase of implementation of commercial leaching beginning in the

quarter thereafter.

Expand to a 5,000 TPD operation
