Generation Mining Limited announced that due to an Emergency Area Order from the Ontario Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines, drilling on the Company’s Marathon project has been temporarily suspended. The order is related to the high risk of forest fires in the area. Other exploration activities such as mapping and sampling are continuing. At the time of suspension, the 8,000 metre drilling program was more than half finished. Seven holes were drilled on the Central Feeder Zone west of the Marathon Deposit, where most of the exploration drilling has taken place during the past 18 months. The core from those holes has now all been sent for assay and the Company is anticipating results in the coming weeks. Three holes were also drilled into the Chonolith Zone located north of the Marathon Deposit. Core from these holes is being split and logged and will be sent for assay shortly. The holes returned several mineralized sections. These were drilled to follow up a 2006 hole which returned 100.5 metres grading 0.93 grams per tonne palladium, 0.584 % copper, 0.1 g/t gold and 0.25 g/t platinum, starting at a depth of 215.8 metres. Nine additional holes are planned for this zone when drilling resumes.
