Generation Mining Limited announced that an Emergency Area Order from the Ontario Ministry of Energy, Northern Development and Mines pausing drilling at the Company’s Marathon palladium-copper project (the “Marathon Project”) has been lifted and that drilling is expected to resume shortly. Other exploration activities such as mapping and sampling were not affected by the order. 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 has been logged and split and samples have been sent for assay. The holes returned several mineralized sections (see photograph). 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.
