Highlights include hole 12E-1, which intersected 3.34 meters (true thickness 2.47 meters) averaging 17.79 g/tonne (0.52 oz/ton) gold, including 0.55 meters of 76.8 g/tonne (2.24 oz/ton) gold; and hole 12G-5, which intersected 5.73 meters (true thickness 3.55 meters) averaging 20.1 g/tonne (0.59 oz/ton) gold, including 1.2 meters of 79 g/tonne (2.3 oz/ton) gold.

Ian Klassen, President of Grande Portage, commented:

We are very encouraged by the initial results from our 2012 drilling program. Not only have we discovered a new zone of high-grade gold mineralization east of our original discovery on the Deep Trench vein, but we have also confirmed continuity of mineralization between our more widely spaced holes drilled last year.
