Hole AT-10-02 was drilled about 65m on strike and at approximately the same vertical depth (300m) as hole AT-10-01 announced by the Company on April 23, 2010.
Assay results are pending for AT-10-03 which is drilled on the same line as hole AT-10-02 and is about 150m deeper than holes AT-10-01 and 02. Hole AT-10-04 is drilled about 300m on strike from hole AT-10-03 to the same vertical depth of approximately 450m. All 4 holes drilled under the current program have intersected the 200m wide Maybrun FW corridor which underlies the near surface Maybrun Main zone and open pit mineral resources. The Maybrun FW is primarily represented by a breccia zone within altered andesites and some grey porphyry. These rocks contain varying amounts of intermittent sections, or stringers, of chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite.
Assaying of the above drill core from the Atikwa Lake property was completed by Swastika Laboratories of Kirkland Lake, Ontario
