2012 Diamond Drill Program Update
Drilling, suspended on July 31st due to seasonal heavy rains, is scheduled to resume October 15th, 2012. Rockgate''s 2012 drill program utilizes 4 diamond drill rigs, deployed on various priority targets. Top priority is given to targets that can be brought into Measured and Indicated ("M & I) mineral resources quickly for incorporation in ongoing economic studies. Those target areas include:
Work on a new, updated Mineral Resource Estimate will begin shortly once all assays for the 2012 program are received. Detailed planning for the Fall 2012 campaign is underway.
Christopher J. Wild, P.Eng., Project Manager for Falea, is the Qualified Person for the Company under NI 43-101. All core samples are cut in half on site and sent to ALS-Chemex in Bamako for direct shipment to ALS-Chemex in Johannesburg, South Africa, for ICP-MS and XRF analysis. The company inserts a standard, blank and requests a duplicate sample be run in every batch of 20 samples. In addition, the lab inserts in-house blanks, standards, and duplicates with each shipment. Data that falls outside the control limits are checked and repeated as necessary.
