To date, approximately 3300 metres of drilling has been completed on the Takom Zone, following up a 2008 intersection grading 0.34% copper and 0.6 g/t gold over 72 metres, as well as a small portion of the much larger 3-kilometre wide induced polarization anomaly. The planned 6,000-metre diamond drilling program is designed to initially test the extent and depth potential of the existing Takom and Deerhorn gold-copper occurrences. Additional drilling will be designed to test IP, magnetic and geochemical anomalies identified from new data generated from the 2009 surveys.

Gold Fields has an option to earn up to a 70% interest in the property by spending $19 million in exploration over the next 7 years (see July 30, 2009 News Release for details).

To mid-November, Gold Fields has completed the following additional exploration:

• Geological mapping over all areas covered by soil and induced polarization(IP) surveys;

• Approximately 85 line-kilometres of line-cutting and an induced polarization survey, at 100m line-spacing, over the Corner Lake grid, which extends northwards from the Megabuck and Deerhorn zones;

• Approximately 90% of a planned 5,000 line-kilometres airborne magnetic-radiometric survey, on lines spaced 100m apart;

• 500 gravity stations on a nominal 250m spacing with local more detailed 100m nominal spacing over the Takom area;
