The company completed a test mine in 2009 on one of the seven alluvial deposits at Chandalar and commenced its first step in commercial production in 2010, producing approximately 1,500 ounces of gold. The deposit contains approximately 10.5 million cubic yards at an average grade of 0.025 ounces gold per cubic yard (1) and is open for expansion with further drilling. In 2011 Goldrich focused its efforts on drilling lode prospects in an effort to begin grasping the bulk tonnage, open-pit potential at Chandalar. The successful drilling program has identified further prospects to conduct a larger, more aggressive diamond core exploration program in 2012. Goldrich is working to build a world-class resource at Chandalar. (1)This mineralized material is not a mineral reserve as defined in SEC Industry Guide 7.
