In the measured and indicated resource category (which includes proven and probable reserves), Gammon Lake counts 83.78 million tonnes at 1.07 g/t Au and 50.00 g/t Ag; this is more than double the amount estimated in the 2004 feasibility study. There are also inferred resources of 29.33 million tonnes at 3.13 g/t Au and 172.00 g/t Ag. Detailed figures for various areas of the project at posted at www.GammonLake.com.
