The Garrison Gold Property

In July 2005, ValGold purchased a 100% interest in the Garrison Gold Property. The Property is located on the Golden Highway of NE Ontario and straddles the Porcupine-Destor Fault and the Munro Fault systems along the prolific Abitibi greenstone belt. The Property hosts several gold zones including the advanced stage Jonpol and Garrcon Deposits and the 903 gold mineralized area. Drilling has been carried out on these gold zones with the earliest work dating back to the 1930's. The Property has good infrastructure with producing gold mines and mills located in close proximity. The Jonpol Project contains an indicated resource of 253,100 tonnes @ 7.77 g/t containing 63,000 ounces of gold and an inferred resource of 1.6 million tonnes @ 4.93 g/t Au containing 247,000 ounces of gold. (See the NI 43-101 Technical Report filed by Northern Gold on SEDAR on 21 October 2009). The Garrcon Project has an initial indicated resource of 3.8 million tonnes @ 1.2g/t containing 144,000 ounces of gold and an initial inferred resource of 18.5M tonnes @ 0.9 g/t containing 530,000 ounces of gold. (See Valgold news release dated September 23 2010). Northern Gold optioned the Property in September 2009 and has been working toward earning an 80% interest.
