Results for three diamond holes drilled in the Manganese Mine Zone represent some the best intervals and grades reported at Çopler to date. These holes were collared within the existing pit boundary and drilled to depths below the bottom of the current pit design. Gold grades for the in-pit intervals (reported below) were generally higher than grades for known in-pit gold reserves and resources. Portions of the intervals reported below pit were outside existing gold resources and included higher grade gold mineralization. Given the disseminated nature of the deposit in the Manganese Mine Zone, these intercepts are considered true widths. A summary of some of the more significant results from the Manganese Mine Zone is given below:

Current drilling in the Main Zone is targeting sulfide gold mineralization along sub-vertical structures near the southern boundary of the Main Zone pit. Previous Main Zone drilling was typically directed toward shallower oxide gold mineralization. Prior to the current program, the median depth of drill holes in the Main Zone was a shallow 52 meters. The true widths are not determinable at this time based on the available data. A summary of some of the more significant results from the Main Zone is given below:

The drilling program at Çopler Gold Project continues in all areas of the project. Currently, one reverse circulation and three diamond drills are operating on site. The goals of the program are to improve the geological interpretation of the resource and to increase tons and gold grade at Çopler.
