MINING: GOOD NEIGHBOUR AND PROVIDER TO THE WORLD WWW.CMEBC.COM

THE PRESIDENT’S REPORT It is the position of the Chamber of Mines of Eastern BC that to be an advocate for mining in our province, you must do more than talk to the mining and associated industries. An organization promoting our industry should not choose who they advocate to, it has to talk to everyone. That is why, as a chamber of mines, besides having a storefront office open to the public, we occasionally go to places like a mall or any suitable public event and have a manned information booth along with a display. When in places like that there is no control over who you talk to. You end up with a cross-section of the community and to the surprise of some people, we find that our message is very well received. This fall we received some funding from AME BC to help us with public outreach. If you know of an event that it may make sense for us to participate in, let us know. We will see what we can do. It was good to see that the federal government has allowed the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency panel to consider the environmental implications of Taseko Mines Ltd.‟s $1.5 billion “New Prosperity” gold and copper mine near Williams Lake. Hopefully the revised plan resolves enough of the environmental impacts that were unacceptable in the previous review. It would be nice if the panel confined itself to environmental issues and left other issues to be settled separately. Did you check out the proposed Natural Resource Road Act? I urge you all to respond to the proposal so that the mining industries perspective is well represented. Don‟t rely on everyone else to tell the government what you think. Don‟t just tell the government what the negative effects will be, let them know what is positive as well. Otherwise we may be in danger of losing the parts of the act that are good for us. Our industry has to continuously remind government that we require access to the land or there won‟t be exploration in BC. The biggest threat probably comes to early stage exploration, before a significant program or deposit is established. Where there is no designated maintainer, government may determine that the risk to users or the environment is too great to allow the road to continue to remain open. We must remember that very often roads with no designated maintainer are used for exploration purposes. It would be good to guard against having that access, which is our infrastructure, destroyed after a single use. We will be making a submission. Feedback on how this act will affect us will be accepted until Dec. 15, 2011. For your chance to comment go to http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/mof/nrra/ As an industry we must also watch for and comment on the proposed Off Road Vehicle Act. This ties into the Natural Resource Road Act and has become increasingly important as more and more roads are deactivated.

4 PM TO 8 PM Friday, December 9th, 2011, 215 Hall Street, Nelson, BC

November 01, 2011 BRALORNE GOLD MINES LTD.: HIGH GRADE INTERCEPT CONFIRMED; 51.47 OUNCES GOLD PER TON FOR THE 3.1

FOOT INTERVAL Bralorne Gold Mines Ltd. has provided the following update of activities at its Bralorne mine operation located near Gold Bridge, B.C. A check assay of the recently announced high-grade result for surface drill hole SB11-21 has been completed. The repeat assay result is 51.47 ounces gold per ton for the 3.1-foot interval (1,764 grams per tonne gold over 0.9 metre). This second assay confirms the initial assay of 23.35 ounces gold per ton over 3.1 feet. The intercept is located in the BK Gap exploration area, approximately 160 feet north of the BK vein and west of area of mined on the BK vein on 800 level. The core interval consists of a faulted zone of altered wall rock and minor quartz vein material with coarse grains of visible gold in the quartz fragments. The company considers this intercept as significant but cautions that such exploration information is preliminary in nature and is not conclusive evidence of the likelihood of the occurrence of an economic mineral deposit. Dr. Matt Ball, PGeo, chief operating officer for the company, is the qualified person who prepared the exploration information contained in this news release. The Bralorne mine is located 150 air miles from Vancouver, B.C. The company is redeveloping the former and very successful Bralorne, Pioneer and King gold mines. From 1928 to 1971, these three operations produced 4.15 million ounces of gold from 7.9 million tons of ore (equalling a grade of 0.53 ounce per ton). Bralorne, Pioneer and King represent the largest historic gold producers in the Canadian Cordillera. The company remains well financed with no long-term or short-term debt.

CHAMBER NEWS AND EVENTS

Mark your calendars. Friday December 9

th, 2011 is our annual Christmas party, here at the Chamber, from

4:00pm to 8:00pm. On September 29

th we held a gold panning course led by Gerald York. Field trip was on Oct. 2

nd. This was a last

minute decision on our part so we only had 7 participants however, everyone was very keen. Maybe we’ll have some new prospectors out there! The Chamber would like to thank Gerald York for his time and dedication to this event. We would also like to thank Mrs. R. Crabtree for her kind donation of maps which George Addie brought in. Sean of Positive Apparel second hand store received a box of old mining artifacts from Adrian Kesler’s estate and donated it to the Chamber. Contents include rock specimens, blasting box (from 50’s or 60’s) and an attaché case of paperwork as well as a medal from the Western Federation of Mining. Thank you Sean.

PJX Resources Inc. Commences Drilling On Dewdney Trail Property

Toronto, Ontario – October 24, 2011 – PJX Resources Inc. (“PJX”) is pleased to announce

exploration is well underway on the Dewdney Trail Property

.

* Over 20 large target areas with gold mineralization potential identified by geophysics on Dewdney Trail Property. * Drilling commences to explore one target area where rock grab samples contain up to 10 g/t gold.

Large target areas with gold mineralization potential have been identified using airborne geophysical survey data on PJX Resources‟ Dewdney Trail Property. Over 20 target areas have been identified by the airborne magnetic or conductivity signature of the rocks. (see target areas on magnetic and conductivity maps at http://pjxresources.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/PJX-Mag-Cond-Map-1.jpg) More than half of the target areas have been prospected to date. Approximately 400 rock samples have been collected and sent for analysis to determine the gold potential.

Most impressive about one of the targets, called the M1, is its size. The interbedded quartzite and argillite unit is over 200 meter in true width. This variably altered unit with sericite, quartz-pyrite, iron-carbonate, and iron-oxide can be traced for over 4 km along strike. A rock grab sample returning 18 g/t gold was collected in the C2 target area about 2 km away and on strike with the M1 target area. There is over 12 km of the favourable altered quartzite with gold showings on the Dewdney Trail Property.

The large tonnage potential of the gold quartzite rock unit is what attracted PJX to the area. The Dewdney Trail Technical Report concludes that the gold showings exhibit many features in common that support potential for a large tonnage deposit of the Sediment Hosted Vein type (SHV). SHV deposits are some of the largest gold producers in the world. (go to www.pjxresources.com to view the Technical Report and information on SHV deposits )

PJX is currently focused on trenching part of the M1 target area to assess the orientation and controls on gold mineralization found at surface. Grab rock samples taken previously from a fractured altered quartzite (sedimentary rock) unit range from 200 ppb to 10,000 ppb (0.2 g/t to10 g/t) gold. Drilling has also commenced to test one part of the M1 target area for gold mineralization within the quartzite unit at depth.

The foregoing geological disclosure has been reviewed by Mr. John Keating, P. Geo (a qualified person for the purpose of National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects). Mr. Keating is the President, CEO and a director of PJX.

October 27, 2011 WEST HIGH YIELD ANNOUNCES LATEST 2011 DRILL RESULTS

Calgary, Alberta, October 27, 2011 – West High Yield (W.H.Y.) Resources Ltd. ("West High Yield" or the "Company") announces that it has completed its 2011 resource definition drill program on its Record Ridge magnesium property, located near Rossland, British Columbia. In the 2011 program, the Company drilled and completed 26 NQ diamond drill holes totaling 4,000 metres. The Company previously reported the results of 10 holes (RRS 11-1 through 10) and the Company has now received the assay results for 7 additional drill holes. All drill holes intersected broad zones of magnesium bearing ultramafic rock (serpentinized dunite, wehrlite and lehzolite-simply named serpentinite). RRS 11-11 mainly intersected monzosyenite and RRS 11-13 intersected several zones of magnesium bearing ultramafic rocks mixed with intervened sub-volcanic and intrusive dykes. The other five (5) holes all intersected broad zones of rich magnesium bearing ultramafic rock (serpentinite). Of noteworthy interest is hole RRS 11-16 which yielded 150.3 metres of 24.7 % magnesium. The remaining assay results will be available by the end of November. The chart below summarizes the results for the recent 7 holes and the map which can be viewed at http://www.whyresources.com/news/index.php?&content_id=76 identifies the location of the drill holes from the programs from 2007, 2008 and the current 2011 program.

The Company also advises that it previously reported that it is proceeding with an NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) Report in respect of the Company's Record Ridge magnesium project. The 2011 drill program will provide additional geotechnical data for the PEA and has expanded the grid over the Company's magnesium discovery. The PEA is being prepared by SRK Consulting Engineers of Denver, Colorado and after additional metallurgical studies the Company anticipates that the PEA will be completed in the first quarter of 2012. The Company also plans to proceed with Pre-feasibility and Feasibility studies on its Record Ridge magnesium project. It should be noted that the applications and uses of magnesium have increased in the past few years particularly in battery technology, automobiles, aircraft and other technology applications. The current price for magnesium in North America is $5,200 per tonne. For more information see: www.whyresources.com

Valterra’s Star Project Intercepts 29.72m of 1.22 g/t Au & 2.71 g/t Ag October 27, 2011

Valterra Resource Corporation (“Valterra”) reported multiple near surface assay results from widely-spaced drilling, and continued expansion of the recently discovered Gold Eagle zone at the Au-Ag+/-Cu porphyry/shear-hosted “Star Project” (Star and Toughnut claims) located in southeast British Columbia. In 2011, a Phase I drilling program was completed consisting of five drill holes totalling 1,362 metres which targeted four priority targets; the Gold Eagle, the Alma N, the Eureka, and the Link. These polymetallic mineralized zones occur along a prospective 3.5 kilometre-long trend transecting the property claims and Valterra has valid permits enabling up to 10,500 metres of drilling. Drill highlights include: • VTN11-010 (Gold Eagle): 1.22 g/t Au & 2.71 g/t Ag over 29.72 metres Including 4.40 g/t Au & 6.10 g/t Ag over 2.0 metres • VST11-013 (Alma N): 1.28 g/t Au & 0.97 g/t Ag over 10.02 metres Including 9.14 g/t Au & 1.20 g/t Ag over 1.05 metres • VST11-014 (Eureka): 0.36 g/t Au, 1.21 g/t Ag & 0.13% Cu over 64.0 metres Including 1.23 g/t Au, 2.17 g/t Ag & 0.24% Cu over 15.52 metres Drilling in 2011 expanded the Gold Eagle zone, first tested by Valterra in 2010, which is spatially associated with the historic Gold Eagle target. Gold-silver mineralization in drill holes VTN11-009 and -010 projects sub-vertically underneath an anomalous surface outcrop which yielded 4.73 g/t Au and 8.2 g/t Ag in a grab sample. The 2011 holes were drilled northeast from the same drill setup at collar dip angles of -50o and -70o, respectively. The deepest and highest grade intercept is approximately 40 metres below surface, and the mineralization remains open for expansion at depth and along strike. The mineralization is pyrite-enriched and hosted in a strongly bleached k-feldspar-sericite-silica altered andesite breccia of the Upper Elise Formation. The encouraging results received to date warrant continued drilling and Valterra anticipates that the Gold Eagle and Alma N are advancing toward grid-patterned drilling designed to develop Au-Ag resources of potential economic significance. To date, Valterra has completed 25 NQ2/BTW-sized drill holes (5,785m) on the project and has returned several encouraging intercepts for Au-Ag +/- Cu from five known zones. Furthermore, advanced studies on the project database have identified „embayments‟ in the magnetic geophysical signature coincident with prospective geological contacts and strong hydrothermal alteration. To date, the precious metal signature is often elevated when these features are core sampled, yet the structures are only nominally tested in the drill record. Drilling to date by Valterra continues to advance a porphyry model for the property. Targets include broad bulk-tonnage styles of Au-Ag-Cu mineralization and structurally controlled higher grade zones. Targeting was aided by several technical programs implemented by Valterra that included a NI 43-101 Technical Report on the Star-Toughnut (available for viewing at www.sedar.com); a 30 square kilometre airborne EM-MAG survey was flown by Aeroquest Ltd. over the entire +1,900 hectare claim block; and the airborne data was subjected to detailed processing analyses by a geophysical consultant whose work refined numerous airborne anomalies warranting follow-up.

GOLDEN DAWN MINERALS INC. AND HI HO SILVER RESOURCES INC. TO COMMENCE DRILLING ON THE ROYAL ATWOOD PROPERTY, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA Golden Dawn Minerals Inc. and Hi Ho Silver Resources Inc. will commence a diamond drill program of 2,500 metres in the second week of November, 2011, on the Royal Attwood project located in the Greenwood mining district, eight kilometres west of Grand Forks on Highway No. 3. This property is located approximately 10 km southeast of Golden Dawn‟s Greenwood project. Golden Dawn holds an option to earn 100-per-cent interest in this property and has granted Hi Ho an option to earn in a 50-per-cent interest by contributing 57.5 per cent of all costs incurred by Golden Dawn on the property. Golden Dawn is the operator for the project. The 1,800-hectare Royal Attwood property is approximately seven km due south of the Phoenix mine which produced 30 million tonnes, grading 1.2 grams per tonne gold, 8.5 g/t silver and 1-per-cent copper. The Royal Attwood project has been the subject of the following comprehensive large-scale historical geochemical and geophysical surveys together with some current programs:

Stream sediment sampling programs that yielded multiple strong gold anomalies;

Four thousand stream and soil samples which included widespread anomalous gold values including 50 soil samples exceeding 200 parts per billion gold (0.2 g/t) up to 1,160 ppb gold (1.16 g/t);

Various geophysical surveys including ground magnetics, induced polarization, AeroTEM magnetics and AeroTEM electromagnetics that have yielded a number of IP and EM anomalies that are spatially coincident with gold-in-soil anomalies;

A recent Titan 24 survey, which produced more than 30 potential EM anomalies of interest, requiring follow-up exploration.

The coincidence of extensive gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies with large AeroTEM EM and magnetic anomalies suggests that there is exploration potential for sizeable gold deposits related to either an intrusive-related gold-copper system, intrusive-related high-sulphide skarn system or possibly volcanogenic-related massive sulphide zones. Titan 24 survey A state-of-the-art Titan 24 ground geophysical EM survey covering the northern quarter of the property was completed in January, 2011. This survey further refined the exploration targets. A comprehensive mapping and rock sampling survey over the numerous targets prioritized by the Titan 24 survey was carried out in the summer of 2011. Survey objectives The objectives of the Titan 24 DCIP and MT EM survey at the Royal Attwood project were the detection of zones of conductivity and definition of structures possibly related to the emplacement of gold and copper mineralization. The main objective was to identify high-quality drill targets in the areas of strong gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies.



Results The Titan 24 survey has yielded a number of conductivity (EM) anomalies on the northern most portion of the Royal Attwood property including dike-like subvertical and moderately conductive anomalies in the central and north-central parts of the grid. These conductive features extend from surface and appear to extend to great depths and interconnect with a deep U-shape conductive anomaly in the area. The chargeability distribution at the surface of the survey grid defines a number of chargeability EM zones, which crops out mainly in the western and eastern parts of the grid. At 100-meter depth, the highest chargeability is observed in the north and northwest parts of the grid. High chargeability areas between 200-metre and 400-metre depths are limited to the west and northwest parts of the grid. Below 400 metres in depth, two high chargeability zones are observed in the westernmost part of the grid. A number of these conductivity and chargeability anomalies warrant drill testing. Survey anomalies and planned drilling A total of 30 potential targets with different priority levels have been delineated on the Royal Attwood project. These potential targets are prioritized as high, moderate, or low, based on the chargeability and conductivity characteristics of the anomalies as well as their size. Two high priority, 15 moderate-high priority, nine moderate priority and four low-moderate priority anomalies are ranked for further evaluation and drilling. At least eight of the anomalies are coincident with known gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies or known skarn or massive sulphide mineralization at surface and will be drill tested. A land use permit has been received from the British Columbia Ministry of Energy and Mines for the drilling. A drill crew is being mobilized to site to commence drilling shortly. Golden Dawn and Hi Ho are optimistic as the initial drilling program begins on this encouraging suite of targets in this historically productive mineral belt.

Fjordland to Commence Drilling on Red Lobster SEDEX Zinc-Lead-Silver Property,

Southeastern BC

Vancouver, BC, October 19, 2011 – Fjordland Exploration Inc. (TSX-V: FEX) reports that on October 21st, it plans to

commence a 4-hole, 1000-m diamond drilling program on its road-accessible Red Lobster Property, located

approximately 25 kilometres west of the historic Sullivan Mine in southeastern British Columbia. A drill location map may

be viewed at www.fjordlandex.com/news/nr11-25b.pdf. The principal targets for drilling are sedimentary exhalative zinc-

lead-silver deposits, similar to those mined at Sullivan, where mining and milling of 150 million tonnes of mineralization,

over a 100-year period, at average grades of 5.49% zinc, 5.98% lead and 2 ounces per ton silver, yielded in excess of

$30 billion at today‟s metal prices. The Sullivan orebody measured approximately 1500 m in length by 2000 m in width

and 10 to 100 m in thickness.

The Red Lobster Property is one of seven properties under option from Kootenay Gold Corp. (TSX-V: KTN), part of the

Kimberley Gold Trend project. In addition, Fjordland owns 100% of eight other properties in the Iron Range Trend in the

southeast. During 2011, Fjordland carried out additional soil sampling and prospecting surveys at Red Lobster to better

define drill targets, indicated by previous work by Kootenay Gold. To date, three zones of potential Sedex-style

mineralization, hosted in Sullivan-age rocks, have been identified by Fjordland.

The Shado Zone, a structural-controlled zone greater than 50 m in width and trending north-northeasterly, contains a

highly anomalous lead and zinc soil anomaly with values each in excess of 500 ppm; highs of 1750 ppm lead and 2760

ppm lead have been reported within an open-ended 1500 m by 500 m zone, in part covering known bedrock

mineralization. A series of massive sulphide (galena, sphalerite, chalcopyrite and pyrite) veinlets, with maximum widths of

10-12 cm +/- irregular pods, occur with quartz and tourmaline at the Shado Showing. In 1978, Shado Mines shipped 3.28

tons of mineralized material from this showing to the Trail smelter. The shipment assayed 25.4% lead, 4.8% zinc, 0.13%

copper, 13.25 ounces per ton silver and 0.01 ounces per ton gold. Magnetic anomalies identified by a previous operator,

Cominco Ltd., coincident with or immediately west of the large geochemical anomaly were never drill tested. Three drill

holes are planned to test this area.

The Cominco Zone appears to be a large fault-related zone, with the potential to host a large tonnage base-metals

deposit. A soil anomaly with greater than 800 ppm lead and zinc values greater than 2000 ppm have been outlined over

an open-ended zone measuring 1000 m by 1000 m, in part covering SEDEX-type bedrock mineralization consisting of

quartz veinlets with arsenopyrite, galena and sphalerite hosted by the same sedimentary rocks that occur at Sullivan. In

1985, Cominco Ltd. outlined magnetic and electromagnetic anomalies, located approximately 500 m west of the current

geochemical target. Cominco drilled one shallow (114 m) core hole in 1988, apparently testing the main geophysical

anomaly, but never testing the geochemical anomaly. On the west side of the geochemical anomaly, a fault zone greater

than 10 m in width is postulated. One drill hole is planned to test the geochemical anomaly.

http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=KTN.V



The South Zone consists of a 700-m long by 600-m wide soil anomaly with lead and zinc values greater than 1000 ppm

each and open to the south. Drill core from a drill hole in 1997 by Sedex Mining was lost when being moved by a

helicopter. Visual logging indicated a 6-m interval containing lead and zinc mineralization. No work was completed on this

zone during 2011, as helicopter access is required.

The Red Lobster Property appears to be along the northern extension of the north-south trending Iron Range Fault

system, which measures in excess of 50 km in length and up to 150 m in width. The new Talon Zone Sedex and gold

discovery reported by Eagle Plains in December, 2010 on its Iron Range Property, to the south of Red Lobster, is hosted

in Sullivan-type rocks that are intensely altered and brecciated. Eagle Plains reported intervals of 7.1 m grading 8.13g/t

Au, 5.91% Pb+Zn and 86.6g/t Ag, and 56.5 m grading 1.9g/t Au and 21.5g/t Ag in hole IR10-010. Details of Eagle Plains‟

2011 work program have not yet been released.

Fjordland is a major mineral tenure holder in the combined Iron Range (8 properties totaling 60,047 ha) and Kimberley

Gold Trend (7 properties totaling 21,222 ha) areas. The latter belt, with a 90-km northeasterly trend, is defined by placer

gold in streams, high angle intersecting oblique slip faults, iron-oxide, iron-carbonate, sericite-quartz-pyrite-albite-

tourmaline alteration assemblages with numerous gold-copper-lead-zinc occurrences and IOCG (iron oxide copper gold)

affinities.

Upon completion of drilling at Red Lobster, the drill will be moved to the GCP Property, located 10 km southeast of the

Sullivan mine. The main target there is a shear zone, sediment-hosted (Sullivan-age rocks) gold deposit, situated on the

flank of a very large magnetic anomaly.

Tom Schroeter, President of Fjordland commented: “We are very pleased and excited to commence drilling on our

southeast BC properties that have several Sedex base metals and/or sediment-hosted gold targets.” For more information

Nov 07, 2011 Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. Announces Drilling Results from Kootenay Arc Project, British Columbia and Provides Exploration Update VANCOUVER, NOVEMBER 7, 2011) -- Mineral Mountain Resources Ltd. ("Mineral Mountain" or the "Company") (TSXV: "MMV")(OTCQX: "MNRLF") is pleased to announce that final drilling results have been received from the Phase 1 drilling campaign on its Kootenay Arc Project located 45 kilometers southeast of Revelstoke B. C. A total of 18 drill holes were drilled on the Kootenay Project totaling 2,940 meters. Two areas were the focus of the campaign -- Butte Bonanza (12 holes totaling 1,772 meters) and Black Warrior (6 holes totaling 1,168 meters). Plan maps illustrating the diamond drill hole locations can be found at http://www.mineralmtn.com/. Butte Bonanza The Butte Bonanza area is characterized by a succession of vertically dipping phyllites and argillites crosscut by a narrow, shallowly dipping stacked faults which are host to gold-silver bearing quartz carbonate vein sets. Highlights from this first pass of exploratory drilling include drill hole BB11006 which intersected 9.0 g/t Au and 8.0 g/t Ag over 0.64 meters and BB11011 which intersected 0.9 g/t Au and 14.1 g/t Ag over 3.44 meters. Black Warrior The Black Warrior area is a series of historical polymetallic Ag-Pb showings hosted proximal to the vertically dipping Black Warrior limestone. This exploratory drill program was successful in intersecting the Black Warrior carbonate vein sets with highlights comprising BW11001 (1.0 g/t Au, 182.0 g/t Ag, 1.33% Zn over 1.0 meters) and BW11004 (0.1 g/t Au, 47.0 g/t Ag over 5.0 meters).

Exploration Update The 2011 drilling campaign was a part of the larger exploration program performed by the Company this season. A property scale soils and rock sampling program has been underway since April 2011 with over 2500 samples having been collected. Assessment and interpretation of this data will continue over the winter months with emphasis on generating drill targets for the 2012 Phase 2 drilling program. Commentary Nelson W. Baker, President and CEO of Mineral Mountain Resources comments "This is the first time that these turn of the century showings have been drill tested in a systematic manner. The sheer number of showings distributed throughout the entire land package is testament to the widespread distribution of precious metals over the length of our 65 kilometer Kootenay Project and its potential to host a large polymetallic resource."

Underground Diamond Drilling Continues to Expand the Ruddock Creek Zinc-Lead Deposit Vancouver, BC - October 25, 2011 - Imperial Metals Corporation (TSX:III) reports results from

the completed 2011 underground diamond drill program at its Ruddock Creek property located 155 kilometres northeast of Kamloops, British Columbia. Highlights include two mineralized intervals intercepted in drill hole EUG-11-083 grading 14.43% zinc and 2.27% lead over an estimated true thickness of 8.4 metres and grading 11.64% zinc and 2.34% lead over an estimated true thickness of 5.9 metres. The underground diamond drill program was designed to further define the Lower E zone, and consisted of 76 drill holes totaling 14,133.4 metres from 7 underground drill stations. For results see: www.imperialmetals.com Underground drilling commenced in late November 2010 and was completed in July 2011. To facilitate the drilling, the underground workings were dewatered and an additional 367 metres of underground development was completed by extending the E zone decline by 309 metres to a total length of 1,303 metres from surface, and excavating, drilling, remuck and sump cut-outs. These drill results confirm that the massive sulphide mineralization of the Lower E zone to date extends 450 metres in an east-west direction and 500 metres in a north-south direction. This portion of the Ruddock Creek Sulphide Horizon dips continuously and predictably at 28.5° northwest, similar to the Creek zone located along the Ruddock Creek Sulphide Horizon to the southwest. The objective of the 2011 underground drilling in the lower E zone was to significantly add to the previously reported resource at by increasing the density of drilling and extending it to the west. The E zone has been the focus of exploration since it was discovered in outcrop in 1960. Located at the eastern end of the Ruddock Creek Sulphide Horizon, this zone has now been defined by both surface and underground drilling for approximately one kilometre down plunge from where it outcrops at surface. Past exploration (1960-2010) at Ruddock Creek included the 982 metre E zone decline, a 180 metre incline cross-cut to provide access for underground diamond drilling of the Lower E zone, 3,584 metres of underground drilling and 44,088 metres of surface drilling. The 2011 exploration program also included additional surface exploration, geological mapping, sampling and further diamond drilling of the Creek, V and Q zones. The V and Q zones have seen minimal historic drilling and are located along the western extension of the Ruddock Creek Sulphide Horizon, which has been defined along a length of approximately five kilometres. Surface drilling commenced in July and was completed in October 2011. Up to four surface diamond drills have been in operation to complete this phase of the 2011 program before the onset of winter conditions. A news release providing results of the surface drill program is expected by year end. A comprehensive report will be completed in early 2012, including an update of the National Instrument 43-101 compliant report Mineral Resource Estimate, Ruddock Creek Deposit dated July 2009 [available on www.imperialmetals.com. The report will be used to determine the next phase of exploration and development on the Ruddock Creek property.
