Note 1: The estimated tonnage of Renard 2, 3, 4 and 9 and the estimated number of carats contained in these bodies are conceptual in nature, and do not conform to the definition of a "mineral resource" established by National Instrument 43-101. Further exploration will not necessarily proide the basis for determining a mineral resource. For complete details on how these estimates were obtained, please see the news release dated November 8, 2005.
