About Xmet's Grasset Property

In January 2015 Xmet completed a 330 line kilometre Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic ("VTEM") and Magnetic Gradiometer Survey on its 100% owned Grasset Project. The survey was a follow up to its March 2012 geophysics when the Company mobilized a geophysical crew onto the property to carry out 28 line km of a gradient induced polarization survey over the interpreted trace of the Detour-Sunday Lake Deformation Zone. Results of the completed part of the survey were announced on 3 May, 2012. The survey clearly identified a favourable gold target in the survey. Phase two of ground geophysics was completed in March 2013 totalling 68 line km of gradient IP with an additional 8 line km of a detailed pole-dipole survey also covering the SLDZ.
