• 16 of 18 vertical holes intercepted sample intervals greater than 1 opt silver with grades as high as 15 opt silver
• Confirmation holes drilled inside Resource Area contained intervals up to 4.3 opt silver

We are extremely pleased with the results from phase one of our 2012 drilling program. Trinity is a large, high quality asset that provides us with a relatively low-risk opportunity to expand the known Resource, and also has high quality exploration targets. We are very excited about the potential revealed by the first phase of drilling.
