- 2000 metre Phase 2 diamond drilling program in progress - DAC Deposit hosts high grade gold mineralization in quartz veins within multiple zones of wide alteration - NI 43-101 compliant indicated resource of 166,863 tonnes grading 6.88 grams per tonne (g/t) gold and an inferred resource of 444,753 tonnes grading 4.46 g/t gold - Open along strike and at depth
Results from the first eight of 14 holes completed during the Phase I program returned high grade values up to 44.39 g/t gold (1.29 ounces/ton) over 0.5m. The high grade quartz veins occur within multiple zones of wide shear-related alteration systems which carry gold values of interest including 21.0m averaging 1.39 g/t (see Alto's and PFN's news releases dated
The Phase I and Phase II programs are designed to expand the known NI43-101 compliant resources at the DAC Deposit through infill and step-out drilling. A Phase III program is slated for later this year and its size will depend on final results from Phase I and results from the current Phase II program. PFN has funded the

About the DAC Deposit
The main area of mineralization on the Destiny Gold Project is the DAC zone, which occurs over a strike length of about 600 m. In this area, four to five identifiable intervals of quartz veining and shear-related alteration zones carry high grade gold mineralization, with drill intersections up to 178.5 g/t gold over a drill width of 1.0 metres. The DAC zone hosts a NI 43-101 compliant indicated resource of 166,863 tonnes grading 6.88 g/t gold (36,892 ounces) and an inferred resource of 444,753 tonnes grading 4.46 g/t gold (63,839 ounces) calculated by W.A. Hubacheck Consultants Ltd. in 2007 (see "A Resource Estimate of the DAC Gold Deposit, Despinassy Twp.,

Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Core processing included descriptive logging and selection of samples for analyses. The NQ-size cores were sawed in half and one half was delivered to a commercial laboratory. The samples were delivered to the Accurassay preparation laboratory in
The laboratory was instructed to prepare and analyze a second 500 gram split from the reject for those samples that indicated gold values of between 1 g/t and 5 g/t on the initial analysis. The gold assaying method on the re-split uses a standard Fire Assay with Gravimetric finish technique on a 30 gram aliquot. Pulp metallic assays were performed on all samples the returned greater than 5 g/t gold on the first assay. The results reported represent mathematical averages of all analyses performed on each specific sample.
