Meadow Bay Gold First Hole in 2012 Drill Program Returns 2.25 g/t Gold Over 67 Meters at Its Atlanta Gold Mine Project in Nevada

Hole DHRC-12-MRC01 is the first in a series of holes intended to confirm and offset specific results from the 2011 drill program. Drilling to the northwest of the historic Atlanta pit in 2011 encountered unusually thick widths in the Atlanta shear zone. Assay results received from ALS Minerals confirmed the width of the shear zone though it should be emphasized that hole MRC01 was terminated in mineralization and remains open at depth.
