Highlights of phase 6 program to date: highest-grade mineralized intersection reported to date: 47 metres at 5.02 grams per tonne (g/t) palladium (Pd) plus platinum (Pt) (3.81 g/t Pd plus 1.21 g/t Pt); The drilling program resumed in early March after a brief hiatus to allow for the compilation and review of the more than 40,000 metres drilled last year. The new program (phase 7) will comprise approximately 15,000 additional metres of drilling with the objective of expanding the known resources, as well as completing further infilling drilling along the southern contact, in particular in the Varley, Jackson's Flats and Azen Creek areas. Surface work and mapping will be carried out, which will further investigate the geophysical targets identified from the spectrum airborne geophysical survey flown last fall. The results from River Valley continue to be extremely encouraging. Exploration and drilling over the last year have intersected Pt-Pd mineralization in marginal breccias, confirming the presence of a multiple-enriched zone of a mineralized PGM-bearing breccia unit over a nine-metre strike length. Initial mineral resource estimates have been concentrated only in the Dana Lake and Lismer's Ridge area, a four-kilometre area.
