Reed Lake 43-101 Resource

Notes:

CIM definitions were followed for the estimation of mineral resources. Drilling was included up to February 2011.

Mineral resources are estimated at a CUEQ cut-off of 1.5% (CUEQ% equals Cu% + Zn% x 0.211 + Au g/t x 0.359 + Ag g/t x 0.006) and a minimum two metre core length.

Long term $US metal prices of $900/oz gold, $15.00/oz silver, $2.50/lb copper and $1.00/lb zinc were used for the estimation of CUEQ. These prices may be conservative, considering the near-term commencement of operations.

Metal recovery assumptions of 65% gold, 60% silver, 95% copper and 50% zinc were used for the estimation of CUEQ.(What is CUEQ??)

Specific gravity measurements were taken on a portion of the samples, where actual measurements were not available either stoichiometric values were calculated or average SG values were used.
