Greg Romain, President, said, "Reaching the first ore zone at Bradshaw is another very exciting milestone, and is something that all of us have been looking forward to. We are pleased to report that much of the major infrastructure work on surface is also progressing well. Our team continues to make excellent progress as we drive to develop Bradshaw as the next new gold mine in the Timmins camp. Gowest's underground team intercepted the first ore zone in the northern halo of the deposit at the 45 meter level as expected. In reaching this zone - which is made up of a series of gold bearing structures - the technical team now has the invaluable benefit of actually seeing the deposit for the first time. We have now commenced chip sampling of the face to supplement our in-fill drilling.”
