A summary of the status of the Tilt Cove – East Mine Deposit is outlined below and has been exerted from a recent up-date from Rambler (see Rambler press release dated April 20, 2011).

  • On April 6, 2011 the East Mine Project was officially released from further environmental assessment. Subsequent to this approval Rambler has also received preliminary comments from the Department of Natural Resources on the project's Development Plan submission. A response to this initial review is now being compiled and will be re-submitted over the coming weeks.

  • The planned work by Rambler will see trucking of the 50,000 to 80,000 tonnes of unconsolidated material, grading from 2 to 4 g/t gold, 23 kilometres to the Nugget Pond facility. Recent leachability test work has shown that the gold leach extraction to be 96 % over a 24 hour period.

  • The company anticipates that final approval will be received for this project over the next 2 months and anticipates mining to begin in early June following processing of the Nugget Pond Crown Pillar.

  • All resource estimates are historic in nature and are non NI43-101 compliant. As such the economic viability of the proposed operation has not been determined; these estimates should not be relied upon in any way.
