Boulevard Project
Sunset Zone
The Sunset Zone is a 2,200 m long gold-in-soil anomaly with associated anomalous pathfinder elements located 7 km southwest of Kaminak’s Coffee deposit. The 2015 reverse circulation drilling program is designed to test northeast trending geophysical anomalies coincidental with gold-, arsenic-, and antimony-in-soil anomalies. Surface trench results of up to 7.04 grams per tonne (g/t) gold across 6 m, and diamond drill intercepts of up to 2.42 g/t gold across 6.26 m have been obtained during previous exploration programs at the Sunset Zone.
Denali Zone
The Denali Zone is located approximately 14 km west of Kaminak’s Coffee deposit. Reverse circulation drilling at Denali will follow up surface trench results of 4.56 g/t gold across 10 m, and a 700 m long gold-in-soil anomaly including five soil samples containing greater than 1.4 g/t gold. Soils within this anomaly area also contain anomalous concentrations of the pathfinder elements arsenic and antimony (see the Company’s news releases dated September 25 and December 18, 2012).
