The resources defined total approximately 310,000 ounces of gold (Table 1) which occur in numerous prospects as shown in Figure 2. The sulphide component of these resources is free-milling in contrast to the refractory Wilsons deposit retained by Apex. The resources have not been re-estimated by Panoramic and were reported by Apex in its 2009 Annual Report.
