ALS is independent of the Company.\n  <\/p>\n\n  <p>\n    In ALS, the entire sample is crushed to approximately 80% passing through a 2mm sieve. A 500 g fraction is pulverized. Gold concentration is determined by fire assay of a 30-gram charge with an AA finish (Au-AA23). Silver, lead, copper, and zinc, along with other elements, are analyzed by ICP utilizing a four-acid digestion (ME-ICP61). Over-limit samples for Au (10 g\/t Au) follow gravitational finishing Au-GRA21 (30g sample). Over-limit samples for Ag (100 g\/t Ag) follow gravitational finishing Ag-GRA21 (30g sample).\n  <\/p>\n\n  <p>\n    The internal QA\/QC program includes the submission of field duplicates (1\/4 core), pulp and coarse reject duplicates, and the insertion of commercial standards and blanks (coarse and fine).
