- Drill Hole DHE-12-96 intersected two separate intervals, one with 67.5 meters containing 1.0 grams of gold per tonne and another interval containing 12 meters of 1.6 grams of gold per tonne.
- Drill Hole DHE-12-105 intersected an interval of 105.5 meters containing 1.1 grams of gold per tonne.
- Drill Hole DHE-12-107 intersected an interval of 148.5 meters containing 0.72 grams of gold per tonne, including 18.0 meters containing 1.91 grams of gold per tonne.
- Drill Hole DHE-12-109 intersected an interval of 39.0 meters containing 1.4 grams of gold per tonne, including 12.0 meters containing 2.98 grams of gold per tonne.
- Drill Hole DHE-12-116 intersected an interval of 60.0 meters containing 1.1 grams of gold per tonne.
- Drill Hole DHE-12-121 intersected two separate intervals, one with 33.0 meters containing 1.1 grams of gold per tonne and another interval with 124.5 meters containing 1.5 grams gold per tonne.
All intervals are reported as down-hole lengths and are not corrected to true widths for mineralized intervals. Complete results are in the accompanying table and drill hole locations are shown on the accompanying map. A detailed drill hole plan map can be found on the Company's website:

There are two drill rigs operating at the Cerro Jumil project. Current drilling is focused on in-fill drilling, extension of the resource to the south west and geotechnical sampling to support the feasibility study currently in process.
The Company has engaged Riaan Herman Consulting of Pretoria, South Africa to update the September 30, 2010 resource estimate for the Cerro Jumil project. Results up to June 30, 2012 from over 22,000 meters of exploration drilling occurring subsequent to the current resource will be included in the updated resource. The new resource is expected to be completed during the third quarter.
