A fourteen (14) gap, reverse circulation drill program, totaling 2,911 metres (“m”) was accomplished throughout SSR’s preliminary marketing campaign on the property, testing for close to floor gold mineralization, just like Trenton Canyon.

Feedback:

Firm President, Richard Williams, famous, “Waseco is happy to see that SSR is continuing with the work program. Traditionally, a lot of the exploration within the camp has targeted on close to floor oxide gold, nonetheless, extra just lately, firms are drilling deeper and encountering success in larger grade sulphide bearing structural techniques which would be the supply of gold being discovered as disseminated mineralization close to floor.”

Notice: assays are reported utilizing a 0.15 g/t Au cut-off grade, a most of 4.57m of inside dilution and no prime cap is utilized. Widths are down gap widths and never true widths. The true widths haven’t been interpreted presently.
* Signifies South Zone; ** signifies North Zone.

Geologic interpretation and subject mapping carried out by SSR previous to drilling was in keeping with earlier conclusions provided to SSR by the Firm.
