Selected drill highlights include:
Hole SU-644-W1 intersected 13.81 grams of gold per tonne over 22.10 meters, including 1,085 grams of gold uncut over 0.50 meters;
Hole SU-644-W2 intersected 125.35 grams of gold per tonne over 4.45 meters, including 1,620 grams of gold uncut over 0.50 meters and 2,930 grams of gold uncut over 0.50 meters.
The extreme gold grade intervals noted above were intersected in wedge holes drilled downhole off drillhole SU-644 as part of a program of infill directional drilling in the western part of the Valley of the Kings, with offset holes drilled downhole from single surface drillholes (see results for drillholes SU-631 and SU-632-W1 through W4 in news release dated August 20, 2014.) The program, which comprised 5,818 meters in three holes including 14 wedge holes, was successful in confirming the grade and continuity of Indicated and Inferred gold mineralization in an area defined by the 2013 Mineral Resource estimate block model.

The 2014 surface drill program was also successful in confirming the continuity of gold mineralization in the Valley of the Kings below the area defined by the 2013 Mineral Resource estimate with four deep drill holes comprising 3,507 meters (see news releases dated June 4, 2014 and July 3, 2014). The 2014 surface drill program included an additional 2,679 meters in 25 drill holes of condemnation drilling for mine site infrastructure.
The underground development has now commenced for an access ramp designed to reach the 1260-meter level for an underground infill drill program to support the Brucejack Project mine plan. Underground drilling from the 1260-meter level is expected to commence in the first quarter of 2015.
