Marathon President Phillip Walford commented, “Drilling at the Golden Chest Mine continues to be successful in expanding the resource potential. The open pit holes are infill and in an area of inferred resource, and the underground targeted holes are expanding the strike length of the Idaho vein system in an area not previously drilled. These are very good results for the 2012 program and with extensive drilling to follow, we anticipate consistent encouraging results.” The Golden Chest Mine is owned 50% by New Jersey Mining Corporation and 50% by Marathon Gold Corporation. NJMC is the operator.
