The Burton Property

The Burton Property consists of 6 patented and 16 unpatented mining claims encompassing 22 claim units (356 hectares) and is located in the Swayze Greenstone Belt, Northeastern Ontario, approximately 150 km south of Timmins and 180 km north of Sudbury. The Swayze Greenstone Belt is interpreted as being correlative with the Abitibi Greenstone belt which hosts the world class Kirkland Lake and Timmins gold mining camps. The Swayze Greenstone belt is an active exploration centre including the exploration and evaluation work being completed by Trelawney.

Historical diamond drill intercepts at the Burton Property include 9.34 grams per ton ("g/t") over an intersection length of 7.75 metres (�m�) at the Shaft Zone and 12.47 g/t over an intersection length of 3.13 m at the East Zone. Diamond drilling completed by Falcon Gold during 2011 included 3.74 g/t Au over an intersection length of 9.96 m (including 10.98 g/t Au over 2.17 m) and 3.25 g/t Au over an intersection length of 10.35 m (including 5.65 g/t Au over 2.85 m) at the Shaft Zone (as set out in Falcon Gold press releases dated July 27, 2011 and September 12, 2011.)
