Two distinct zones were intersected, confirming the presence of significant veining and mineralization in the target horizon (including visible gold). Historically, in 1988, from the 11th-level station of - the Magnet gold mine, a flat hole intersected the Tombill-Bankfield fault horizon, host to the largest mine in the district, approximately 500 metres south of the main shaft. This hole intersected 45.26 grams per tonne Au - (1.32 ounces per ton) over 1.34 metres in the host horizon and was not followed up. This host horizon was intersected at a depth of approximately 500 metres and is now the focus of current drilling with two drills. In addition to the target horizon, an additional mineralized zone was intersected farther up-hole. The current drilling is part of a major $2.5-million exploration program. In addition to the main target, recent drilling performed in the Benedict zone, a secondary target located proximal to the Magnet mine, intersected gold mineralization including 10.22 g/t Au (0.30 ounce per ton) over 2.5 metres and 8.14 g/t Au (0.23 ounce per ton) over two metres. The Geraldton project is being operated by Premier under an option agreement with Roxmark. The Geraldton project is located in the heart of - the Beardmore-Geraldton greenstone belt, a highly prospective high-grade gold district that has seen relatively little exploration over the past several decades. The project area covers approximately 10 kilometres of some of the most strategic ground in the region, and is host to past-producing mines and numerous exploration targets in a district that has more than 4.1 million ounces of historic gold production. Premier currently has six drills working on three of the company's core projects. In addition to Geraldton, a major exploration program has resumed on the Rahill-Bonanza joint-venture project in Red Lake, operated under a 49-51 joint venture with Red Lake Gold Mines, an affiliate of Goldcorp Inc., and drilling is under way on the Santa Teresa property - in Mexico, a joint-venture project with Sutter Gold Mining Inc.
