-- Underground sampling was completed on all drifts and raises on the upper
two levels of the mine;

Treasure Mountain and the British Columbia Mines Act Permit Amendment

smelter under contract in May 2012, with a provisional payment received;
-- airborne surveys were completed on both Treasure Mountain and the
Merritt property in July 2012;

the commissioning process has begun; and
