Additional results are listed at end of press release.
The winter 2011 drill program began on January 5th, 2011 was completed on May 2nd, 2011 with 72 diamond drill holes completed (including 3 abandoned drill holes) with a total of 29,756.5 metres drilled. One planned drill hole was not completed due to ground conditions. Core logging and sampling was completed by the end of June.
Similar to the 2010 program, the 2011 program sought to address more than one objective: infill drilling, particularly large gap areas, and exploration drilling.One of the recommendations of the 2009 NI 43-101 report by Watts Griffis and McOuat (WGM) was the infill drilling of numerous drilling gaps, also termed data gaps, within the pit shell area to increase the confidence level of the mineral resources.On Block A, drill spacing of closer than 80 metres is required for the category of inferred resources and closer than 40 metres for indicated resources.The 2010 and 2011 winter program targeted regions with spacing greater than 80 metres within the pit area. A total of 53 drill holes, approximately 76% of the winter 2011 drill program, were drilled on 40 metre by 40 metre centres to increase the confidence level of the mineral resources.

Quality Assurance and Quality Control ("QA/QC") Program for Core Sampling
The Company has implemented a quality control program to ensure best practices in sampling, analysis and security of core samples. The drill core is first logged then sawn in half during the sampling process with half being retained for verification and reference purposes. During sample collection and assaying, there is an established QC procedure which includes the insertion into the sample stream of standard reference samples, sample duplicates and blank samples, including the insertion of blank samples after all samples with visible gold.
The samples are delivered direct to Activation Laboratories Ltd. (ActLabs) preparation facility in Timmins, Ontario by Trade Winds personnel.The samples are analyzed for gold using the ActLabs procedure 1A2-50, which is a 50 g fire assay with AA finish. Samples returning greater than 3 g/t Au are automatically processed using a fire assay-gravimetric finish. Total metallic assays for gold were also performed on selected intervals.All samples assayed by ActLabs include a standard multi-element ICP package.
The coarse rejects are kept in Timmins for re-assaying purposes for a period of up to six months and then returned to the Trade Winds site for long term storage. Selected coarse rejects and pulps are check assayed by third party laboratories other than ActLabs.
The material in this news release has been prepared and reviewed by Stephen Wallace, P. Geo, VP Exploration, a Qualified Person as defined in NI 43-101.
