The East Ridge zone is now reported to contain a drill-indicated reserve of 410,000 tons grading 0.31 oz gold, with the zone still open to depth. Previous drilling had outlined a drill-indicated reserve of 578,000 tons grading 0.28 oz.
Recent drilling on the Grizzly zone, two kilometres to the southeast, encountered widths of up to 48 ft grading 0.07 oz gold. Higher grade sections averaged up to 0.58 oz gold over widths of four feet. Earlier work on the Heino- Money zone established a proven and probable reserve of 55,000 t ons grading 1.05 oz gold. Total proven and probable reserves at the Tillicum gold property now total 465,000 tons grading 0.4 oz.
Mining reserves are being calculated by consulting engineers in preparation of a pre-feasibility study for the skarn-hosted gold deposit.
