depth.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, drilling at the Cayenne zone intercepted 15.6 metres of 4.61 g\/t gold, 75 metres down-dip of intercepts reported in July. <\/p>\n<p>At the Main Gabbro zone, definition drilling expanded the known high-grade shoots, intersecting 6 metres of 40.66 g\/t gold.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are now seeing several well mineralized splays of the Tabasco and Cayenne shear systems at depth along the edge of the Jeremie Pluton and in the sediments,\u201d Attila Pentek, the company\u2019s VP of exploration, said in a release. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn particular, a shear zone right at the contact of the pluton, now referred to as Lower Tabasco South, is showing excellent continuity from hole to hole.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Within the Area 51 vein network, in the hangingwall of the Tabasco-Cayenne shear system, drilling intersected wide intervals of lower-grade mineralization, with local zones of high-grade material. <\/p>\n<p>Intercepts include 58.9 metres of 1.05 g\/t gold, 16.2 metres of 3.34 g\/t gold and 16.4 metres of 1.54 g\/t gold from the Jeremie Pluton as holes are drilled to test the Tabasco-Cayenne system.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe fact that many of these drill holes intersect multiple potentially mineable zones in Area 51 as well as the Tabasco-Cayenne shear system makes our drill program very efficient, allowing for low per-ounce discovery cost,\u201d Marz Kord, the company\u2019s president and CEO, said in a release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are outlining a significant mineralized vein network in Area 51 in addition to our continuously expanding high-grade Tabasco-Cayenne shear system,\u201d Pentek added.<\/p>\n<p>Of the six rigs active at the project, four are testing the Tabasco zone. <\/p>\n<p>One rig is completing closely spaced definition drilling of the Main Gabbro zones from underground, at a total rate of approximately 9,000 metres a month. <\/p>\n<p>Assays are pending for an additional 8 surface and 36 underground holes.<\/p>\n<p><em>(This
