The Yellowknife Gold Project contains the Ormsby Zone, the Bruce Zone, the Nicholas Zone, the Clan Main Zone and the Goodwin Vad Zone.The resource estimates are based on geological models for which the nature and orientation of the mineralization is derived from the results of diamond drilling programs, underground mapping and sampling of decline development as well as on an extensive amount of technical data obtained during previous exploration programs. The figures are rounded for presentation. The resource estimates incorporate all of the data available as of July 2010 and conform to National Instrument 43-101 policies. Lara Regin, P.Geol., the designated QP within the meaning of NI 43-101, has reviewed this resource summary and approves of its content.

1 Mineral Resources
are in part inclusive of Mineral Reserves and comply with NI 43-101 standards.
Proven and Probable Reserves are determined using recovered gold values based
upon a US$950 per ounce gold price and a $US:$CAD exchange rate of 0.93. Open
pit reserves are established using a 3D Whittle optimization (Gemcom Whittle
4x). Underground Probable Reserves are determined using a 2.5 gpt cut-off.
Mineral Resources for Ormsby, Bruce, Goodwin Vad and Clan Main Zones are at a
1.25 gpt cut-off. The Nicholas Lake Zone is at a 1.1 gpt cut-off. Samples
greater than 65 gpt gold were cut and repor
The resource
estimates are based on geological models for which the nature and orientation of
the mineralization is derived from observation of underground and surface
exposures and diamond drill core. Cut-off grades are suppor
