-
- Reverse Circulation (“RC”) Drill holePB-RC-007 intercepted 1 meter (“m”) grading 2.37 grams pertonne (“g/t”) gold (“Au”) from 3 mdepth
- RC Drill hole PB-RC-051 intercepted 1 m grading 7.42 g/t Au, from 14 m depth
- RC Drill hole PB-RC-003B intercepted 1 m grading 3.87 g/t Au, from 10 m
- Coelho-Queimadas Target results included:
-
- Diamond Drill hole FC-QG-004 intercepted 3 m grading 1.51 g/t Au (including 1 m at 2.08 g/t Au) from 52 m depth
- RC Drill hole PB-RC-016 intercepted 1 m grading 2.97 g/t Au from 18 m in depth
- RC Drill hole PB-RC-024 intercepted 5 m grading 1.70 g/t Au was intercepted from 8 m depth (including 1 m at 4.78 g/tAu)

Marcelo Batelochi , Senior Exploration Manager stated “ Today’s assay results are verysignificant, not only are they from shallow RC drilling and trenching,these results also demonstrate the extension of the mineralized trendsat Pedra Branca. To date, mineralization has been intersected in three ofevery four drill holes drilled . We are now turning our attention to the geologic and resourcemodeling and our current expected goal is to define a mineral resourceat the Pedra Branca Project.”
The phase I exploration program is progressing well. Todate, a total of 190 holes comprised of 4,282 m of RC drilling and8,914m of Diamond Drilling have been completed at the Pedra BrancaProject. All of the drill holes have been shallow in nature with amaximum depth of 250 m for diamond drill holes and 60 m for the RCholes.
QA/QC PROCEDURES
The assays follow Quality Assurance/Quality Control(QA/QC) procedures that included the insertion of standards, blanksand duplicate samples, sent to the lab along with the samples.
All samples were analyzed at either SGS GEOSOL Laboratórios Ltda inMinas Gerais, Brazil, or ALS Brasil Limitada in Minas Gerais, Brazil. Both contracted laboratories follow the same proceduresfor sample preparation and chemical analysis, described below. In thelaboratory, each ±2 kg sample is recorded, dried for 8 to 12 hours,crushed to 70% <2mm (-10 #) split to obtain approximately 250g andthe 250g sub-samples are pulverized to P 85 74 microns (-200 #).
Gold analysis is carried out using fire assaycomprising three stages: Fusion, Cupellation and Analysis.
Samples with a gold fire assay equal to or higher than10.0 g/t Au are re-analyzed by a screen-metallic method. Base metalassays are first determined by ICP-OES (Inductive CoupledPlasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy). Analyses of ore elements thatexceed the method's upper limits are re-analyzed by appropriateore-grade methods.
