RIDGE LAKE ZONE

In the Ridge Lake area, the Bravo Lake formation comprises an interlayered sequence of amphibolite, gabbro, iron formation, sulphidic schist and metasediments. The Ridge Lake Prospect area was discovered late in the 2003 exploration program when high-grade gold assays of up to 17.3 g/t Au were returned from rock chip samples. Follow-up surface work in 2004 yielded additional high-grade gold assays from both chip and channel samples extending the prospect to a strike length of more than 2.5 kilometres.

Preliminary diamond drill testing in Ridge West in 2004 produced encouraging results, including 17.48 g/t Au over 2.15m, 15.06 g/t Au over 1.50 m and 3.95 g/t Au over 6.65 m.

Detailed ground magnetics, completed in 2005 over the Ridge Lake prospect outlined areas of thickened iron formation and a number of key structural features which correspond to high gold values which were followed up in the 2005 drill program.

Drilling in 2005 and 2006 was highlighted by intersections of 10.63 g/t Au over 8.89 m in the lower gold-bearing "sulphide" iron formation 10.24 g/t gold over 1.90 metres in the upper silicate iron formations. A lower grade "sheet" of gold mineralization hosted primarily in the iron formation units contain higher-grade shoots that plunge to the southwest and remain open to depth. Drilling to date has focused on testing near-surface targets and trends and significant areas remain to be tested.
