Boss Resources Limited (ASX: BOE) (“ Boss ” or the “ Company ”) is pleased to report that Teranga Gold Corporation (" Teranga ") (TSX: TGZ) announced on 12 July 2018 (Canadian time) its most recent diamond drill program at the Golden Hill property in Burkina Faso, West Africa, returned near surface and deeper gold intersections that will enhance resources at a number of advanced prospects. In addition, the recent drilling evaluation program identified a new near-surface discovery at Peksou North, one of 9 prospects drilled at Golden Hill over the past 18 months.

Teranga has an earn-in agreement on Golden Hill with Boss Resources Limited (ASX: BOE) pursuant to which Teranga, as operator, can earn an 80% interest in the joint venture upon delivery of a definitive feasibility study (DFS) and the payment of AUD2.5 million. On delivery of the DFS, Teranga’s interest in the joint venture will increase to 70% and they retain the rights to acquire an additional 10% in the joint venture for A$2.5 million. Upon completion of the DFS but prior to a Decision to Mine, Boss may elect to convert the remainder of their interest to a 1.5% Net Smelter Return, otherwise Boss shall be free carried to a decision to mine and will then be required to contribute on a pro rata basis.

Richard Young, Teranga’s President & CEO, states “Golden Hill continues to provide new discoveries and strong intervals of very good grade, near-surface gold from a variety of prospects in the run-up to our endof-year initial resource estimation announcement. Results from Jackhammer Hill, in particular, build upon prior drill results and continue to grow an already exciting high-grade gold domain along trend and to depth.

Drilling across the entire Golden Hill property supports increasing confidence that this project could represent Teranga’s third gold mine in West Africa, moving Teranga into mid-tier producer status.”

David Mallo, Teranga’s Vice-President Exploration said, “Our advanced-stage exploration drilling program at Golden Hill continues to provide a high rate of drilling success. This phase of the program further demonstrated excellent continuity from a series of very good grade gold intersections at multiple proximal prospects while prospects such as Peksou North demonstrate that opportunity remains for new discoveries. Drilling through the remainder of 2018 is designed to enhance our understanding of the controlling influences on the gold mineralizing systems at our various prospect areas and to continue expanding the resource base prior to our initial estimation.”

Duncan Craib, Boss Resources Managing Director, states “Work is advancing rapidly at Golden Hill as we move towards an initial resource estimate for the most advanced prospects by year-end. With ongoing drilling spend by Teranga and new prospects being identified, including the new near-surface discovery at Peksou North, Golden Hill is shaping up to be a very exciting project.

“Boss, and in turn our shareholders continue to benefit from the successes of our JV partner Teranga and stand firm in our belief that Golden Hill is developing into a very appealing and potentially significant project. We look forward to the continued growth of the project through Teranga’s advanced staged exploration.”

Work at Golden Hill is moving rapidly. Teranga is investing $8 million in project drill programs in 2018. The Company plans to announce an initial resource estimate for the most advanced prospects by year-end. Preliminary metallurgical test work programs are underway with base line environmental studies to follow later this year. Upon satisfaction of certain conditions precedent relating to the project’s initial preliminary economic assessment, Teranga has secured $25 million in debt financing to advance the Golden Hill project through to feasibility.

The full Teranga announcement is enclosed.

Jackhammer Hill Prospect: High-Grade Mineralization Hosting Visible Gold

Recent drilling at the Jackhammer Hill prospect has been limited while exploration drilling was focused elsewhere. More extensive drilling has been earmarked for the upcoming quarter at Jackhammer Hill as Teranga has the flexibility to drill this prospect during the rainy season. In the coming months, drilling will focus on increasing both lateral and depth extensions of the high-grade mineralization.

Significant results from our most recent drill program are shown in Table 1 in Appendix 1. The gold mineralized zones identified thus far at Jackhammer Hill comprise a series of southeast dipping horizons hosted within an altered and sheared diorite intrusive unit. Drilling has been initiated along an approximate 1,350-metre strike extent, predominantly to vertical depths of 50 to 75 metres and locally to vertical depths of approximately 125 metres.

The Jackhammer Hill drilling program completed to date is outlined on Figure 2 in Appendix 2. Additionally, a representative section demonstrating excellent continuity of high-grade gold mineralization from our most recent drill phase is also included (Figures 3).

A central core portion of the Jackhammer Hill prospect includes a number of intersections of high-grade visible gold in the drill core over a current strike extent of 200 metres (Section 0+40 SW to Section 2+40 SW in Figure 2).

C-Zone Prospect: Correlated Zones of Strong Gold Mineralization

To-date, the Company has drill tested C-Zone with diamond drilling over a strike extent of approximately 850 metres (Figure 4 in Appendix 2) and additional recent strong results confirm that C-Zone remains open to depth and intersects with the southeastern portion of our Peksou prospect.

Gold mineralization is localized in a discrete, mafic volcanic hosted shear zone system that displays alteration, veining and brecciation characteristics similar to those observed at Golden Hill’s nearby Ma prospect. The correlation of gold mineralized zones between drill holes at C-Zone has been excellent, as demonstrated by representative sections of some recent drill results (Figures 5 and 6).

Peksou North Prospect: New Near-Surface Discovery

Available results from a series of scout holes targeting soil and auger geochem anomalies within the Peksou Intrusive Complex (Figure 1) have provided favorable early-stage results at two separate locations within the Peksou North target area (Figure). Similar to the intrusive-hosted portion of mineralization at our Peksou prospect, granodiorite intrusive-hosted gold mineralization at Peksou North displays two distinct styles of alteration: (i) hematite dominant; and (ii) sericite dominant.

As outlined in a representative section (Figure 8), the sericite alteration zone in GHDD-346 appears to be the more important at that location, whereas the hematite alteration zone in scissor-hole GHDD-345 appears to be a proximal, footwall feature.

A number of our initial Peksou North diamond drill results are pending (Table 3 in Appendix 1). However, we are very encouraged by the near-surface gold results from the few holes analyzed to date, and plan further drilling to follow-up on these initial positive results.

Ma North Prospect: All 12 New Holes Show Consistent Near-Surface Mineralization

Our most recent Ma North diamond drill results continue to confirm that a third well-mineralized breccia zone (BZ-3) exists within the Ma structural complex where previous drilling had identified BZ-1 and BZ-2 (Figure 9). Drilling at Ma North is still at an early-stage and predominantly at shallow depths when compared to more advanced areas of the Ma structural complex. However, early-stage hole-to-hole correlation is demonstrating excellent continuity of mineralization. Additional drilling is planned to further evaluate Ma North both along trend and to depth where the breccia hosted mineralization remains open to expansion.

Recent diamond drill results at Ma North are outlined in Table 4 in Appendix 1. All 12 holes being reported intersected near surface intervals of gold mineralization that correlates well with previous drilling.

A-Zone and B-Zone Prospects: Improved Interpretation Supports Follow-Up Drilling

Initial diamond drilling evaluation was completed during the second quarter at the A and B Zones (Figure 10) where previous operators had utilized reverse circulation drilling. Although the earlier drilling had intersected a number of very positive results, correlation and interpretation was very difficult without the benefit of diamond drilling. As indicated in Table 5 in Appendix 1, the results from our preliminary stage of drilling evaluation have been encouraging and the overall interpretation of both the A and B Zone mineralization has improved considerably warranting a follow-up drill program that may begin in the fourth quarter.

Nahiri and Nahiri Plateau Prospects: More Broadly Anomalous Intersections Encountered

As a component of the recent drilling program at Golden Hill, a few holes were drilled at both the Nahiri prospect and the Nahiri Plateau area where previous drilling had intersected very broad intervals of highly anomalous gold mineralization, much of which is oxide preserved under a lateritic cap. Two lateral step-out drill holes from previously drilled GHDD-178 (a minimum of 123 m @ 0.48 g/t Au) both encountered similar broadly anomalous mineralization: GHDD-309 (a minimum of 153 m @ 0.30 g/t Au) and GHDD-333 (a minimum of 67 m @ 0.64 g/t Au). Complete results for these and other recent Nahiri and Nahiri Plateau holes are shown in Table 6 of Appendix 1 and a plan map of all Nahiri area drilling is outlined in Figure 11.

Further drilling is planned for the Nahiri Plateau area to more thoroughly assess these very broadly mineralized intersections and explore for a potential feeder system/structure that may host higher grades.

APPENDIX 2

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 Report

Section 1: Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections)

Criteria 2012 JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc.).
These examples should not be taken
as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’
work has been done this would be
relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1
m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for
fire assay’). In other cases, more
explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has
inherent sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types
(e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
Diamond Core holes are being reported in this news release.
These drill holes are part of an ongoing drilling program at the
Golden Hill Property where a number of Prospects are being
evaluated. Sampling is of half NQ2 core from the DD drilling.
Drill core was sawn in half over 1-metre defined sampling
intervals, then one-half sampled and assayed for gold.
Oriented core markings were used as guides for sawing.
Occasionally quarter core was submitted for check assays.
Diamond core was sampled selectively based on visual
identification of mineralisation. Further sampling will occur
should initial results warrant extending the sampling intervals.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,
auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details
(e.g. core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether
core is oriented and if so, by what
method, etc.).
Diamond drill holes were drilled using standard HQ or NQ
sized rods.

Criteria 2012 JORC Code explanation Commentary
Drill
sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing
core and chip sample recoveries and
results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between
sample recovery and grade and
whether sample bias may have
occurred due to preferential loss/gain
of fine/coarse material.
Diamond core recoveries were measured and recorded for
each sample. Core was sampled on standard 1 m core
lengths based on metre-to-metre drill measurement markings.
Drill contractors have been requested to maximize recoveries
throughout each drill hole and there has not been a significant
issue with core recovery either oxide or fresh rock.
There is no evidence to suggest a relationship between
sample recovery and grade as there is no significant loss of
material. Sample recoveries are of good quality.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have
been geologically and geotechnically
logged to a level of detail to support
appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or
quantitative in nature. Core (or
costean, channel, etc.) photography.
The total length and percentage of the
relevant intersections logged.
Core samples were geologically and geotechnically logged
following established standard operating procedures and
include sufficient and appropriate detail to support Mineral
Resource estimation, mining and metallurgical studies.
Logging is qualitative in nature. All core was photographed.
All recovered core was logged, but not all drilled core was
sampled.
Sub-
sampling
techniques
and
sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and
whether quarter, half or all core taken.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube
sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether
sampled wet or dry.
For all sample types, the nature, quality
and appropriateness of the sample
preparation technique.
Quality control procedures adopted for
all sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the
sampling is representative of the in situ
material collected, including for
instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate
to the grain size of the material being
sampled.
Drill core sampling intervals were defined then cut in half with
a diamond saw along the core length following orientation
lines. Half core was sampled over one-metre lengths.
The primary sample is pulverized in entirety at BIGGS
Laboratory in Ouagadougou by LM2 and split to a 200g sub
sample using riffle splitting. A 50g subsample from this pulp is
then selected for analysis. Sampling and subsampling
methods are industry standard and are appropriate for the
type of drilling. The use of the riffle tiered splitter is a
demonstrated method of accurately splitting the primary
sample and the field method has been validated with the field
duplicate data over the 8 years of exploration activity in
Burkina Faso.
Field duplicate data is routinely reviewed and show
acceptable precision and variability.
Field duplicate data indicates acceptable variability indicating
coarse gold is not a significant issue in the sampling.

partial or total.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers,
handheld XRF instruments, etc., the
parameters used in determining the
analysis including instrument make and

is considered to be a total gold estimate. Assaying was
conducted in Ouagadougou by BIGGS Laboratories.
Not applicable.
Certified reference materials, blanks and duplicates are
regularly inserted into the sample preparation and analysis
process with approximately 10% of all samples being related
to quality control.
Data is reviewed before being accepted into the database.
Any batches failing QAQC analysis resubmitted for check
assays. Dataset QAQC contains acceptable levels of
precision and accuracy.
Verification
of
sampling
and
assaying
The verification of significant
intersections by either independent or
alternative company personnel.
The use of twinned holes.
Documentation of primary data, data
entry procedures, data verification,
data storage (physical and electronic)
protocols.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
Significant intersections have been reviewed by staff geologists
to check the geological context.
All sample and recovery data is recorded on paper forms at the
time of drilling. Data is then keypunched into controlled excel
templates with validation. Geological logging is directly logged
into template log sheets on a Toughbook computer. The
templates are then provided to an internal database manager for
loading in Datashed database management software.
Referential integrity is checked as part of the data loading
process into Datashed.
Location of
data points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used
to locate drill holes (collar and down-
hole surveys), trenches, mine workings
and other locations used in Mineral
Resource estimation.
Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic
control.
Drill hole collar locations were surveyed by trained site-based
technicians using real time differential GPS (DGPS) to a sub
decimetre accuracy in horizontal and vertical position. Signal
correction completed using the Omnistar network. Vertical
precision was supplemented using a Digital Surface Model
created from WorldView-2 stereo imagery incorporating DGPS
ground control points. Down hole drill hole surveys were
undertaken by the drill contractor utilizing a Reflex EZ-Shot
downhole survey instrument and by single shot Eastman
Cameras. Survey intervals of 30m and end of hole were
routinely collected. No strongly magnetic units are present
within the deposit which may upset magnetic based readings.
Topographic control is based on World View 2 stereoscopic
processed image, providing additional <1m RL precision.

Data
spacing
and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of
Exploration Results.
Whether the data spacing and
distribution is sufficient to establish the
degree of geological and grade
continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation
procedure(s) and classifications
applied.
Whether sample compositing has been
applied.
Drilling was spaced at distances nominally divisible by 20m,
typically on 40m centres.
Drilling is of an initial investigative nature and not sufficient to
define mineral resources at this time.
No sample compositing has been utilized.
Orientation
of data in
relation to
geological
structure
Whether the orientation of sampling
achieves unbiased sampling of
possible structures and the extent to
which this is known, considering the
deposit type.
If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to
have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if
material.
Drill hole azimuths and dips have been oriented as much as
possible perpendicular to the interpreted mineralised zones to
intersect the true widths of the zones as closely as possible.
Occasionally, drilling was planned at oblique angles when the
mineralisation trends were not yet well defined or if the optimal
collar location was not accessible. Generally, most of the
drilling is oriented such that the sampling of mineralisation is
unbiased.
While at an early stage drilling orientation is not considered to
introduce significant bias.
Sample
security
The measures taken to ensure sample
security.
Core samples are removed from the field immediately upon
drilling and stored in a secure compound for sub sampling and
preparation for lab dispatch.
Samples are collected directly from site by the laboratory.
Sample submission forms are sent in paper form with the
samples as well as electronically to the laboratory.
Reconciliation of samples occurs prior to commencement of
sample preparation of dispatches
Audits or
reviews
• The results of any audits or reviews of
sampling techniques and data.
All QA/QC data is reviewed in an ongoing basis and reported
in monthly summaries. All QAQC data up until December
2012 has been reviewed and documented by CSA Global of
Perth. Data after this period has been reviewed by the CP for

Teranga Gold’s Golden Hill Exploration Update Includes Strong Grades and Excellent Correlation at Multiple Prospects and a New Discovery at Peksou North

Jackhammer Hill drill results include 22.1 g/t gold over 8 metres and 29.5 g/t gold over 3 metres

Toronto, Ontario – July 12, 2018 – Teranga Gold Corporation ("Teranga" or the "Company") (TSX:TGZ; OTCQX:TGCDF) is pleased to announce that its most recent diamond drill program on the Golden Hill property in Burkina Faso, West Africa has returned near surface and deeper gold intersections that will enhance resources at a number of advanced prospects. In addition, the recent drilling evaluation program identified a new near-surface discovery at Peksou North, one of 9 prospects drilled at Golden Hill over the past 18 months.

Teranga has an earn-in agreement on Golden Hill with Boss Resources Limited (ASX:BOE) pursuant to which Teranga, as operator, can earn an 80% interest in the joint venture upon delivery of a feasibility study and the payment of AUD2.5 million.

  • 40 m @ 1.11 g/t gold (GHDD-346) from 24 m DHD

“Golden Hill continues to provide new discoveries and strong intervals of very good grade, near-surface gold from a variety of prospects in the run-up to our end-of-year initial resource estimation announcement,” said Richard Young, CEO. “Results from Jackhammer Hill, in particular, build upon prior drill results and continue to grow an already exciting high-grade gold domain along trend and to depth. Drilling across the entire Golden Hill property supports increasing confidence that this project could represent Teranga’s third gold mine in West Africa, moving Teranga into mid-tier producer status.”

“Our advanced-stage exploration drilling program at Golden Hill continues to provide a high rate of drilling success. This phase of the program further demonstrated excellent continuity from a series of very good grade gold intersections at multiple proximal prospects while prospects such as Peksou North demonstrate that opportunity remains for new discoveries,” said David Mallo, Vice President, Exploration. “Drilling

1

through the remainder of 2018 is designed to enhance our understanding of the controlling influences on the gold mineralizing systems at our various prospect areas and to continue expanding the resource base prior to our initial estimation.”

Work at Golden Hill is moving rapidly. Teranga is investing $8 million in project drill programs in 2018. The Company plans to announce an initial resource estimate for the most advanced prospects by year-end. Preliminary metallurgical test work programs are underway with base line environmental studies to follow later this year. Upon satisfaction of certain conditions precedent relating to the project’s initial preliminary economic assessment, Teranga has secured $25 million in debt financing to advance the Golden Hill project through to feasibility.

Golden Hill Property

The Golden Hill property is comprised of three adjacent exploration permits covering 470 km[2] in southwest Burkina Faso in the central part of the Houndé Greenstone Belt. This belt hosts a number of high-grade gold discoveries, including the Siou, Yaramoko and Houndé deposits, the latter being contiguous with Golden Hill.

This news release provides an update on exploration drilling results from a number of prospects recently evaluated as part of our ongoing advanced exploration program at Golden Hill. All advanced stage exploration prospects at Golden Hill are located within six kilometres of a central point (Figure 1 in Appendix 2).

Drilling was undertaken recently at Jackhammer Hill, C-Zone, Peksou North, Ma North, A-Zone, B-Zone and Nahiri. Please refer to Appendix 1 for significant results (Tables 1 – 6) and Appendix 2 for plan maps and representative sections related to this drill program. Cumulative results from all Golden Hill drilling are available on the Company’s website www.terangagold.com under Exploration.

Over the remainder of the year, significant drilling will be undertaken on all the advanced prospects listed above, as well as at Peksou and Ma.

Jackhammer Hill Prospect: High-Grade Mineralization Hosting Visible Gold

Recent drilling at the Jackhammer Hill prospect has been limited while exploration drilling was focused elsewhere. More extensive drilling has been earmarked for the upcoming quarter at Jackhammer Hill as Teranga has the flexibility to drill this prospect during the rainy season. In the coming months, drilling will focus on increasing both lateral and depth extensions of the high-grade mineralization.

Significant results from our most recent drill program are shown in Table 1 in Appendix 1. The gold mineralized zones identified thus far at Jackhammer Hill comprise a series of southeast dipping horizons hosted within an altered and sheared diorite intrusive unit. Drilling has been initiated along an approximate 1,350-metre strike extent, predominantly to vertical depths of 50 to 75 metres and locally to vertical depths of approximately 125 metres.

The Jackhammer Hill drilling program completed to date is outlined on Figure 2 in Appendix 2. Additionally, a representative section demonstrating excellent continuity of high-grade gold mineralization from our most recent drill phase is also included (Figures 3 in Appendix 2).

A central core portion of the Jackhammer Hill prospect includes a number of intersections of high-grade visible gold in the drill core over a current strike extent of 200 metres (Section 0+40 SW to Section 2+40 SW in Figure 2 in Appendix 2).

2

C-Zone Prospect: Correlated Zones of Strong Gold Mineralization

To-date, the Company has drill tested C-Zone with diamond drilling over a strike extent of approximately 850 metres (Figure 4 in Appendix 2) and additional recent strong results confirm that C-Zone remains open to depth and intersects with the southeastern portion of our Peksou prospect.

Gold mineralization is localized in a discrete, mafic volcanic hosted shear zone system that displays alteration, veining and brecciation characteristics similar to those observed at Golden Hill’s nearby Ma prospect. The correlation of gold mineralized zones between drill holes at C-Zone has been excellent, as demonstrated by representative sections of some recent drill results (Figures 5 and 6 in Appendix 2).

Peksou North Prospect: New Near-Surface Discovery

Available results from a series of scout holes targeting soil and auger geochem anomalies within the Peksou Intrusive Complex (Figure 1 in Appendix 2) have provided favorable early-stage results at two separate locations within the Peksou North target area (Figure 7 in Appendix 2). Similar to the intrusive-hosted portion of mineralization at our Peksou prospect, granodiorite intrusive-hosted gold mineralization at Peksou North displays two distinct styles of alteration: (i) hematite dominant; and (ii) sericite dominant.

As outlined in a representative section (Figure 8 in Appendix 2), the sericite alteration zone in GHDD-346 appears to be the more important at that location, whereas the hematite alteration zone in scissor-hole GHDD-345 appears to be a proximal, footwall feature.

A number of our initial Peksou North diamond drill results are pending (Table 3 in Appendix 1). However, we are very encouraged by the near-surface gold results from the few holes analyzed to date, and plan further drilling to follow-up on these initial positive results.

Ma North Prospect: All 12 New Holes Show Consistent Near-Surface Mineralization

Our most recent Ma North diamond drill results continue to confirm that a third well-mineralized breccia zone (BZ-3) exists within the Ma structural complex where previous drilling had identified BZ-1 and BZ-2 (Figure 9 in Appendix 2). Drilling at Ma North is still at an early-stage and predominantly at shallow depths when compared to more advanced areas of the Ma structural complex. However, early-stage hole-to-hole correlation is demonstrating excellent continuity of mineralization. Additional drilling is planned to further evaluate Ma North both along trend and to depth where the breccia hosted mineralization remains open to expansion.

Recent diamond drill results at Ma North are outlined in Table 4 in Appendix 1. All 12 holes being reported intersected near surface intervals of gold mineralization that correlates well with previous drilling.

A-Zone and B-Zone Prospects: Improved Interpretation Supports Follow-Up Drilling

Initial diamond drilling evaluation was completed during the second quarter at the A and B Zones (Figure 10 in Appendix 2) where previous operators had utilized reverse circulation drilling. Although the earlier drilling had intersected a number of very positive results, correlation and interpretation was very difficult without the benefit of diamond drilling. As indicated in Table 5 in Appendix 1, the results from our preliminary stage of drilling evaluation have been encouraging and the overall interpretation of both the A and B Zone mineralization has improved considerably warranting a follow-up drill program that may begin in the fourth quarter.

Nahiri and Nahiri Plateau Prospects: More Broadly Anomalous Intersections Encountered

As a component of the recent drilling program at Golden Hill, a few holes were drilled at both the Nahiri prospect and the Nahiri Plateau area where previous drilling had intersected very broad intervals of highly anomalous gold mineralization, much of which is oxide preserved under a lateritic cap. Two lateral stepout drill holes from previously drilled GHDD-178 (a minimum of 123 m @ 0.48 g/t Au) both encountered similar broadly anomalous mineralization: GHDD-309 (a minimum of 153 m @ 0.30 g/t Au) and GHDD-333 (a minimum of 67 m @ 0.64 g/t Au). Complete results for these and other recent Nahiri and Nahiri Plateau holes are shown in Table 6 of Appendix 1 and a plan map of all Nahiri area drilling is outlined in Figure 11 of Appendix 2.

Further drilling is planned for the Nahiri Plateau area to more thoroughly assess these very broadly mineralized intersections and explore for a potential feeder system/structure that may host higher grades.
