YEAR END 2011 HIGHLIGHTS

• The Company continued to encounter significant and high-grade gold mineralization in step-out and infill drilling on all known deposits during the year

• Project development work advanced across a number of sectors, including feasibility level engineering, preparations for environmental permitting, and preparations to secure water rights
