Diamond drill hole #34 was designed to test the up-dip up-plunge extension of the mineralization encountered in discovery hole NOAD016, which included a 38 metre (m) intercept grading 3.0 g/t gold. All other drill holes listed were positioned to test the outer edges of the NOA2 lode. ATW’s current mining plan is based on production from the NOA2 lode and the new lode currently being delineated.
