| Overview
The potential for expansion of known zones of mineralization and discovery of new areas in the Ajax camp is significant. A major program of delineation and infill diamond drilling of was completed between July and December of 2010 with up to five drills to upgrade a portion of the near-surface copper-gold mineralization in the existing NI 43-101 compliant inferred resource. The program confirmed key aspects of the understanding of the Ajax deposit, further increasing confidence in the geological and economic models.
