Bohemian Zone Geology
Formerly interpreted as the Bohemian-Schooner Zone, based on the recent drilling the Company now interprets the Bohemian and Schooner areas as two distinct Zones cut by a northerly striking high angle fault which separates the two zones by approximately 75 m.

The Bohemian Zone is a strongly mineralized, steeply dipping structural corridor that strikes east‐northeast. This corridor intersects a lower‐angle tabular mineralized zone in strongly altered quartz monzonite sills. The Bohemian Zone sits approximately 500 m east of the Lucky deposit, the nearest past producing area.  The Bohemian Zone and the closely offset Schooner Zone together extend for more than 1 km in length; both zones remain open at depth and the Schooner Zone is open to the east.

Brewery Creek Project Update
To date in 2012 the Company has completed 130 core holes for 13,111 m along with 42 RC holes for an additional 4,653 m.  The Company's 2012 drill program has targeted expansion of the reported resources at the East and West Big Rock, Classic, and Bohemian-Schooner Zones.  The overall drill plan calls for targeting all other resource areas for expansion as well as exploration of other zones including Ice Fog, Moosehead, Pacific, South Pacific, and Camp, and to test several additional new targets generated by the Company's 2011 geochemical and geophysical surveys of the Project area.  The current year drilling is in addition to 344 core and RC holes totalling 55,453 m which were completed during 2011 at Brewery Creek, which delineated the three 2011 discoveries at the Bohemian-Schooner, Sleeman and Classic Zones, with significant additional drilling on the North Slope and the East and West Big Rock Zones.

Brewery Creek Project Overview
Brewery Creek hosts NI 43-101 compliant resources of 581,000 indicated gold ounces in 20.417 million tonnes at 0.89 g/t and 346,000 inferred gold ounces in 12.990 million tonnes at 0.83 g/t (Barr, 2012; GPD NR 12-20 June 18, 2012).  The Company anticipates publishing an updated resource estimate incorporating the current year's drilling later in the year.

The Brewery Creek Project is a past producing heap leach gold mining operation with a total of 278,484 oz Au produced from seven near-surface oxide deposits along the property's Reserve Trend from 1996 through 2002, when the mine (operated by Viceroy Resource Corporation) shut down primarily due to low gold prices. The 200 km² property is located 55 km due east of Dawson City, accessible by paved and gravel roads from the junction of the North Klondike and Dempster Highways.

The Project is in receipt of all necessary permits required to conduct additional exploration. The Brewery Creek Project holds a Type A Water License with an expiry date of December 31, 2021, subject to the restrictions and conditions contained in the Yukon Water Act and Regulations. The Project also holds a Quartz Mining License (QML) with an expiry date of December 31, 2021.  The Company is working to amend the Water License and the QML to incorporate current mine planning and design studies which are currently underway.  In addition, a Socio-Economic Accord with Tr'ondek Hwech'in First Nation with respect to the Brewery Creek Project is in place.

Sampling Methodology, Quality Control and Assurance
Samples were fire assayed for gold by ALS Chemex and ACME Laboratories in Vancouver. All assays are reported as drilled intervals and are not to be interpreted as true widths. Refer to the Company's news release dated October 27, 2011 for a complete discussion of sampling methods, quality control and assurance.
