The Timmins Zone is a quartz vein breccia system hosted in an older diorite intrusive
The intrusion includes the Timmins 1, Timmins 2 and Ascot zones. These three zones appear to be part of one mineralized system separated by the intrusive core, sediment roof pendants and/or fault offsets. The mineralized zones have been traced through an area measuring approximately 150 metres by 450 metres
2007 drill program significantly enlarged the dimensions of the Timmins gold deposit. Results suggest Timmins 2 is essentially a structural twin of Timmins 1 and is probably larger
Hole no.

The Ascot zone has been exposed by trenching along a strike length of 210 metres where the overburden cover is less than two metres thick
Fall 2008 Bulk Sample on Timmins 2 Trench
The current phase of the drill program on Timmins 2 is now completed. 14 holes have been drilled for a total of 2,226 metres (7,301 feet).
The core is currently being logged, cut, sampled and sent to Eastern Analytical Limited for standard fire assay. Results will be released when received, compiled and interpreted.
The Company has also started its rock trenching program on Timmins 2 to expose and sample the mineralized zone. The 2008 drilling has confirmed our expectations on structure and mineralization for Timmins 2. The trenching will allow bulk sampling to test the grade at surface.
