Tram devel - opment through the Joint Venture and underground drilling continues to intersect favourable alteration, miner - alization and structure as construction heads west. The tram development is expected to provide an ideal platform from which to test the Broulan Reef claims in the future. "Over the past several years, our strong treasury has al - lowed Premier to capitalize on weak market conditions and acquire strategic property packages in several of North America's most prolific gold camps" stated Ewan Downie, President and Chief Executive Officer of Premier. "The Broulan Reef claims represent an important consolidation of key lands located along the stratigraphic horizon that is host to some of the world's major high-grade ore deposits". The orebodies hosted within the main Red Lake "Mine Trend", including the prolific HGZ, are often spatially asso - ciated with a regional unconformity that trends through the southern portion of the Project area for several kilometres. Broulan Reef is situated in an important fold-closure loca - tion at tram depth that represents a potentially important area of deformation and structural complexity similar to that at the infamous High-Grade Zone at the Red Lake Gold Mines. A significant goal for the joint venture has long been to establish an underground exploration platform from which systematic diamond drilling could be under - taken to test this prospective target horizon -- this under - ground drill program is now underway. The tram drift that is currently being excavated by RLGM to support mine de - velopment of its Cochenour Project (Bruce Channel De - posit), will serve as an invaluable exploration platform for the Joint Venture. It is located approximately 1,650 metres (5,400 feet) below surface, at an elevation where explo - ration for HGZ-style mineralization has been most success - ful in the past. Because the HGZ footprint can be very compact, drilling from surface can be expensive and diffi - cult to intersect projected target areas due to hole devia - tion.
