Bohemian-Schooner Zone Geology

The Bohemian‐Schooner Zone is a strongly mineralized, steeply dipping structural corridor that strikes east‐northeast. The corridor intersects a lower‐angle tabular mineralized zone in strongly altered quartz monzonite sills. The Zone sits approximately 500 m east of the Lucky deposit, the nearest past producing area, and is over 1 km in length and is open along strike to the east and at depth.

Hole BC11-378 intersected sporadic mineralization up to 1.90 g/t over 5 separate intervals but did not meet the criteria for listing in the above table. Holes BC11-372, BC11-377, BC11-379 and BC11-381 did not intercept significant mineralization.

Brewery Creek Project Update

The Company completed 344 core and RC holes for 55,453 m at Brewery Creek in 2011.  The 2011 drilling was concentrated on delineating the three 2011 discoveries at the Bohemian-Schooner, Sleeman and Classic Zones, with significant additional drilling on the North Slope and the East and West Big Rock Zones.

Current year drilling will concentrate on further expansion of the Sleeman, Classic and Bohemian- Schooner Zones as well as exploration of a number of quality targets resulting from 2011 geochemical and geophysical surveys of the Project area.

The Brewery Creek Project is a past producing heap leach gold mining operation with a total of 278,484 oz Au produced from seven near-surface oxide deposits along the property's Reserve Trend from 1996 through 2002, when the mine (operated by Viceroy Resource Corporation) shut down due to low gold prices. The 200 km2 property is located 55 km due east of Dawson City, accessible by paved and gravel roads from the junction of the North Klondike and Dempster Highways. In May 2011 the Company staked an additional 204 quartz claims east of the historic Brewery Creek property, increasing the Project to a total of 997 quartz claims.

The Project is in receipt of all necessary permits required to conduct additional exploration. The Brewery Creek Project is authorized under a Type A Water License with an expiry date of December 31, 2021, subject to the restrictions and conditions contained in the Yukon Water Act and Regulations. The Project also has a Mining license with an expiry date of December 31, 2021. In addition, a Socio-Economic Accord with Tr'ondek Hwech'in First Nation with respect to the Brewery Creek Project is in place.

The Company anticipates receiving a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate, currently underway, in April 2012.  The resource estimate will include all results from the 2011 drill program.
