The YCS Property is approximately 35 km south of Kinross Gold's Golden Saddle deposit, and is approximately 60 km south of Comstock Metals' recently announced VG Zone discovery.
Follow-up excavator trenching and prospecting were carried out at the Denali Zone, a 700 m long gold-in-soil anomaly announced by the Company on September 25, 2012. Two trenches were completed. Trench 1 was 114 m in length, and Trench 2 was 100 m long. In addition, 25 select rock samples were collected during surface prospecting of the Denali Zone anomaly area.
-- Trench 1 cut 10 m averaging 4.56 g/t gold from 0 m to 10 m, followed by
16 m averaging 0.022 g/t gold from 10 m to 26 m and finally 88 m
averaging 0.002 g/t gold from 26 m to 114 m.
-- Trench 2 cut 100 m averaging 0.010 g/t gold, from 0 to 100 m.
-- Assay values for the 25 select rock samples range from below detection

values of greater than 1 g/t gold. These five rocks assayed 9.74 g/t,
8.86 g/t, 7.88 g/t, 4.79 g/t and 1.08 g/t gold.
