| History of the Marigold Project |
|
Marigold Mine is a run of mine heap leach operation that commenced production in 1988. The mine was transformed from a modest, conventional milling operation into a large and extremely efficient heap leach mine. Exploration led to the discovery of the Millennium ore body in the southern reaches of the property which then led to the Millennium Expansion project.

| Geology of the Marigold Project |
|
|
The gold mineralization at Marigold is best described as distally disseminated. This means that the gold is finely disseminated into the host rock as very small particles and that it is far from its origin, meaning that the gold at Marigold was transported in from greater depths and along zones of hot water flow.
