Reported assays include seven intersections grading greater than 1,000 grams per tonne gold. (See Table 1 below for assays.)

Selected drill highlights include:

• Hole VU-545 intersected 494.91 grams of gold per tonne uncut over 21.00 meters, including 20,287 grams of gold per tonne uncut over 0.50 meters;
• Hole VU-539 intersected 477.29 grams of gold per tonne uncut over 14.22 meters, including 10,700 grams of gold per tonne uncut over 0.50 meters and 2,710 grams of gold per tonne uncut over 0.50 meters;
• Hole VU-537 intersected 98.52 grams of gold per tonne uncut over 18.99 meters, including 3,200 grams of gold per tonne uncut over 0.50 meters;
• Hole VU-553 intersected 31.17 grams of gold per tonne uncut over 29.00 meters, including 1,535 grams of gold per tonne uncut over 0.50 meters; and

Holes VU-537, VU-539, VU-553, VU-545 and VU-555 were drilled from the 1270 drill bay. The bonanza-grade interval from hole VU-545 noted above was intersected at the 1225 level.

To date, results from 149 holes (26,833 meters) of the 2015 infill drill program for the Valley of the Kings have been reported with 25 intersections grading greater than 1,000 grams per tonne gold. An additional 26,000 meters of definition drilling from four underground drill stations is in progress and is expected to be completed in the first-quarter of 2016. When completed, roughly 200 vertical meters over a strike length of 250 meters will have been drilled at 7.5 to 10-meter centers. Assay results from drilling will continue to be reported as they are received.
