• Mineral reserves of 173,000 ounces with estimated annual production of 41,000 ounces over the mine life.
• A conservative analysis was used for the estimation of the resources and the conversion of resources to reserves As the project advances underground re-conversion of resources to reserves. As the project advances underground, reinterpretation may lead to better grade, additional resources, and additional reserves.
• This study only looks at the WPZ; additional upside is possible with further

Notes: •Mineral Resources are inclusive of Mineral Reserves;;•Mineral Resources were estimated according to CIM Definition Standards – For Mineral Resources 2010;•Mineral Resources for Holloway and Holt were estimated using an average long-term gold price of US$1,200 per ounce and an exchange rate of $1.00 = US$0.98;•Mineral Resources for Holloway and Holt were estimated at a cut-off grade of 3.0 g/t Au; •Mineral Resources for Hislop were estimated at a cut-off grade of 0.94 g/t Au, and uses an average long-term gold price of US$950 per ounce and an exchange rate of $1.00 = US$0.85;•There was an ore stockpile consisting of approximately 37,000 t grading 1.40 g/t Au from Hislop at December 31, 2011;•Mineral Resources for Taylor were estimated using a cut off grade of 2.5 g/t Au, and uses an average long-term gold price of US$1,200 per ounce using an exchange rate of $1.00 = US$0.98•Mineral Resources for Aquarius are as of the October 2, 2006, RPA Technical Report. Mineral Resources were calculated using a long term gold price of US$500 per ounce and an exchange rate of $1.00 = US$0.90. No cut-off grade is applied because of uncertainty about selectivity within the deposit;•Mineral Resources for Clavos are as of the October 2, 2006, RPA Technical Report. Mineral Resources were estimated at a cut-off grade of 4.0 g/t Au, using a long-term gold price of US$500 per ounce. Mineral Resources for the Clavos Project do not
