Marudi Mountain 2012 Drilling Program |
The 2012 drilling program was planned to assess the gold mineralization |
found in historical drilling and support the establishment of a N.I. |
43-101 compliant resource estimate, if applicable. It is not known at |
this time how many drill holes or the number of metres of diamond |
drilling that would be required to produce a N.I. 43-101 compliant |
resource estimate for the Marudi Mountain property. |
Guyana Frontier’s 2012 drilling program, consisting of 12 holes totaling |
1,977.47 metres, concluded in April 2012 (see Guyana Frontier’s news |
releases dated May 2, 2012 and May 24, 2012). Three holes were drilled |
in the Mazoa Hill target area, and the remaining 9 holes were drilled |
in the Marudi North target area, where Guyana Frontier had identified |
