ExploratION PROGRAM
AUGUST 3, 2010
UTS and Teck recently completed a successful field program during the 2009/2010 winter season, with the objective of acquiring additional data in support of the planned regulatory application for the Frontier Project. The program included the drilling of 68 core holes for the purposes of resource delineation, and the completion of an extensive geotechnical and hydrogeological program for development of the detailed mine plan. A further 15 core holes were drilled on lands outside the Frontier Project leases to determine the suitability of potential locations for placement of facilities. The following summary table excludes such data.
