- Drill hole SZ11–20 returned 3.51 g/t over 6.00m including 6.15 over 2.93m and 14.10 g/t over 0.31m
- Mineralized zone widens with recent drilling and includes disseminated sulphide mineralization
- Preliminary Lynx Zone drill holes (located 500m south east of the Sugar Zone; see Press Release dated September 20, 2011 which referenced surface sample of 595g/t) has identified new mineralized structure – assays returned 6.95 g/t over 0.62m including 13.62 g/t over 0.32m, more drilling to follow in this area
- Block modelling increased to 400m level due to positive drill results from 2011 drill program
- 3 drill holes have been completed between the Sugar Zone Deposit and Wolf Zone Discovery, assays pending
- Initial 6 hole program to follow up on positive IP/Mag surveys at the high potential Fold Nose zone is underway
- Deep drilling program at the Sugar Zone Deposit has been expanded in order to test a geophysics target at the 600 – 1,000m level identified during the recently completed downhole IP survey

Stephen G. Roman, President and CEO commented "Drill results within the current Sugar Zone Deposit area and extensions at depth continue to return significant gold values. Results from high potential exploration drilling at the Lynx Zone, the 1.7 km area between the Sugar Zone and Wolf Zone and the Fold Nose areas will follow. Current drilling is testing IP/Mag survey targets. These targets have been found to be coincident with areas of gold mineralization to date."

QA / QC Statement
Diamond drill holes were drilled with NQ sized core in order to obtain larger sample volumes of the mineralized zones. The core was sealed and delivered by the drilling contractor to Harte's facilities located in White River, Ontario. The mineralized sections of the cores were photographed for reference, logged and mineralized sections were sawn in half. Sample lengths were 0.5 meters. Half core samples were bagged, sealed and delivered to Activation Laboratories in Thunder Bay, Ontario, an accredited laboratory. The remaining core is stored on site for reference. Samples were assayed by the fire assay method using an atomic absorption finish on a 50 gram pulp split. A quality assurance and quality control program (QA/QC) was implemented by Harte and the laboratory to ensure the precision and reproducibility of the analytical method and results. The QA/QC program includes the insertion of standards, blanks and field duplicates in the sample batches sent to the laboratory and a systematic re-assaying of samples returning values above 3 g/t Au by the fire assay method using a gravimetric finish.
The drill program is being conducted under the supervision of George A. Flach, P. Geo, Vice President of Exploration for Harte. Mr. Flach is the Qualified Person (QP) as defined in National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed the technical information contained herein.
