CHARIOT GOLD DEPOSIT BULKS 'UP AT DEPTH Giants Reef is pleased to report a further significant result from its pre-production drilling program at the Chariot gold deposit. Assays results confrm mineable widths in excess of ten metres true thichess in the main ore shoot. A new deeper intersection to hand from hole CHRD 120A at approximately 270 metres in depth contained: 19.1 metresat lO.Og/tAu The intersection equating to a true ore thickness of 12.6 metres. The ore width is a further increase on the previous widest intersection announced last week from hole CI-IRD 116A of 13 metres at 17.5dt Au for a true ore thickness of 8.6 metres at approximately 220 metres in depth. Increases in ore reserves can be expected due to the wider ore intersections. More significantly, the new drilling results indicate the robustness of the ore shoot near the base of known ore body. The ore bodyremains open at depth and to the west. Further deep drillingbeyond the depth of the current program is planned t o be completed from underground following the establishment of drill platforms from production drives. Location details for hole 120A are tabled below. An updated ore resource estimate is currently being computed and will be released when it comes to hand in approximately one week.
